It's stuff like
this that makes me think the arab culture has some severe problems. The 'muttawa' are the Saudi religious police, aka "The Committee for the Propagation of Virtue and Prevention of Vice."

"Women in Saudi Arabia must cover themselves from head to toe with a black cloak in public. They are not allowed to drive and cannot go out in public unaccompanied by a male family member." ... "The muttawa patrol the streets of the kingdom, preventing men from mingling with women, enforcing strict Islamic dress for women, chasing worshippers late for prayers, and punishing shop keepers who stay open during prayer hours. They sometimes work with a police officer who can enforce legal punishments on people deemed violators."

I can't even verbalize exactly why, I just know that this kind of shit is
wrong.
