The Saudi Arabian Mutaween are tasked with enforcing Sharia as defined by the government; purportedly the Committee for the Propagation of Virtue and the Prevention of Vice "comprises more than 3,500 officers plus thousands of volunteers...often accompanied by a police escort" who have the power to arrest unrelated males and females caught socializing, enforce Islamic dress-codes, prayer schedules, and Muslim dietary laws prohibiting the comsumption or sale of alcoholic beverages and pork, and seize banned consumer products and media regarded as "un-Islamic" (such as CDs/DVDs of various Western musical groups, television shows and film). Additionally, they actively prevent the practice or proselytizing of other religions within Saudi Arabia, where such is banned.

Although what you have described is literally true, during the five years that I spent there none of this was a major concern. About the only thing that a Westerner there need be concerned about is that all the stores shut down during prayer time, so you have to do a bit of planning with respect to your shopping. I wound up writing a computer program to figure prayer times so I could post the list on the wall instead of having to look it up in the newspaper.

they do not believe in the separation of state and church. That does not mean they are bad. We condemn murder and cops come get ya fer that. They just have more and different rules. All Caucasian inhabited country b4 King Henry the 8th had a mix of church and state did that make them Nazi's. This whole thing against Arabs is just a finesse to keep our eyes off the dismantling of our own gov. If you are not appalled you are not paying attention.

I don't think Iran is the holiest place on earth. I say it's Mekka, Medina, and Jerusalem. That's where our prophets prayed, not Iran
