Saudi tourism

This is how men take pictures of their female family members while touring in Saudi Arabia.

Hat Tip: Arabist.net


I'm sure you will all agree that it was too good not to post!

Even so, Islamic "tzniut" is different from Jewish tzniut: excessive, to the point that, as you can see in that photo, women totally lose their identities, each looking the same as the other.

Ishmael repented, but in his repentance turned to hyper-correction of his previous way of life. That's why Muslims pray more times a day than we do, that's why they take the prohibition on pork to go as far as pig-shaped toys and piggy-banks, and that's why the Islamic dress code for women goes beyond the righteousness of guarding their modesty and into the oppression of depriving their very selfhood.

Funny thing, it's ok for the islamic world to MURDER jews, let alone poke fun at them..

the PROBLEM is that the islamic world LACKS humor..

they MURDER over cartoons..

so, yes, the photo is funnier than anything..

When islam can take a joke and not murder, then the picture will be not be needed

Naftali,

Your points aren't necessarily in contradiction to mine.

Why are their laws excessive? Because they're made up. The divinity of our laws is manifest in, among other things, what King Solomon said, "Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace" (Proverbs 3:17).

The Koran's way is not a way of pleasantness, and, as the Pope has (intentionally or not) shown, none of its paths are peace. Because it's man-made.
