A question I have often pondered while staring amorously at my reflection in the early hours of the morning…….it is a good question and bear with me and I will explain why I ask…..
Have you heard about Saudi Arabia? You know the country where women are not allowed to drive or talk to the opposite sec or even vote……the country that has a religious police that makes sure that one acts in a respectfully religious way……you have heard of them, right? From the country that brought us beheading…….
Well it seems that a man can be “too handsome” for his own good…….
Three Emiratis have been forcibly removed from an annual culture festival in Saudi Arabia and sent back to the UAE after it was suggested that women might find them irresistible.
The delegates from the UAE were at the Jenadrivah Heritage and Culture Festival in Riyadh, the Saudi capital, when religious police officers stormed the stand and evicted the men because “they are too handsome,” according to the Arabic language newspaper Elaph.
“A festival official said the three Emiratis were taken out on the grounds they are too handsome and that the Commission [for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vices] members feared female visitors could fall for them,” Elaph reported.
Elaph said the festival’s management took swift action to deport the trio back to Abu Dhabi, capital of the Emirates.
Saudi Arabia is a deeply religious and ultraconservative society that forbids women from interacting with unrelated males and refuses to accord them the same rights as men.
These people just get more ridiculous by the year……..where will they draw the line on absurdity?
The one good point is that I shall never be deported for being “too handsome”……..
