Makkah, June 14: Saudi Arabia's feared Islamic police briefly arrested a national woman for defying local rules by walking in a public place without the traditional Saudi gown and head cover. The arrest made her even more defiant, when she branded the head cover a symbol of backwardness.
The 27-year-old Saudi wife was strolling at dawn on the sidewalk in the western town of Makkah when members of the Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice seized her and took her to their centre.
Sabq newspaper said a Saudi man had phoned the Commission and told them about a woman walking in tight pants and white tops without her gown or head cover. The man said he was worried the woman might be kidnapped by men.
The paper said the unnamed woman told Commission members at the centre that she went to stay at her family's house after an argument with her husband but that they refused to receive her and told her to return home.
"The woman said she then decided to go for a walk at dawn to have some fresh air and release her pent-up feelings and deprivation," the paper said.
"She said what she had done is normal and that the gown and head cover are symbols of backwardness….she also told the Commission members that man had reached the moon and 'you come and tell me don't drive….don't go out shopping…cover you face…be careful…etc."
Sabq said the woman was later handed over to her family after she was made to write a statement not to repeat what she had done.

A burqa leads to the most
A burqa leads to the most perverse kind of sexual objectification – a woman wearing it is identified by absolutely nothing other than her sex: she is a nameless, faceless, shapeless “sex toy" and nothing more.
burqa
ARE BHAI BURQA MEI RAHKAR PARK MEI BHAITKAR AYYASHI KARNE SE THO ACCHA HAI WITHOUT BURQA JAAYE. ALMOST ALL GIRLS AND LADIES OF HYDERABAD ESPECIALLY OLD CITY INCLUDING MALLEPALLY COME IN BURQA AND SEE THEM IN SANJEVAYA PARK, INDIRA PARK WITH THEIR LOVERS INCLUDING NON MUSLIM BOYS SO ITS BETTER WITHOUT ABAYA. BUT IF THEY GO WITHOUT ABAYA THEY WILL BE CAUGHT BY THEIR BROTHERS OR UNCLES SO THEY WEAR ABAYA AND ENJOY WHAT GIRLS ENJOY IN EUROPE.
wrong message
One stupid lady does stupid act, and its big news for anti-islamic media. I am about to count you one among them, have you ever read this article. http://en.news.maktoob.com/20090000799724/Blogger_admits_apos_Gay_Girl_i...
If you are ever had faith would have understood that you would not defame your religion with these kind of examples. Why did poonam was asked not to run nude after worldcup victory, you all should have protested to make her run nude, she is not your 100% private property???
BrainLess
Really Rediculous,Doesnt she know about Islamic values,Did she forget that she is muslim.If you accept the Islam then follow islam strictly.Maximum number of Rapes and harrasment is due to the attire which women wear.Follow the path which our Prophet(PBUH)showed,then inshallah no rape,no murder,no corruption etc etc.
Sisat stop this copy paste
Sisat
what message you want to convey about ISLAM, i have been consisting reader of siasat but i feel very bad when u people write or copy something against islam or muslims.. first and foremost stop copying news from non muslim websites and try to print something which will help muslims and islam. you people are really illetrate about ISLAM..
Western country's use media as their potential weapon to defame islam,
Being a muslim and a media house you should be helpful to the community & islam. so i request you to please stop this, if you really want to cover some news regarding islamic world then try to give the best.
We need more women like her
We need more women like her who come out of thr deprivation shells.
You need more women like
You need more women like her.. then ask your mother and sister to come out of their houses with bikini suits.Then notice the difference between Democracy and sharia law.Brainless cunt.
Who is brainless again?
Ofcourse thr is a huge difference between sharia law and democracy, if we go into details it will be a big topic to discuss about.
Your language usage talks more about the religion you follow - so called religion of peace.
A woman who is frustrated with issues in her life and want to just get out and breathe some fresh air.. wats wrong about it?
The description of women according to you is, either she wears abaya, or she should be in a bikini?
Is thr no middle zone? Do you see Indian women in bikinis, even though they don't wear abaya?
Did this women wore bikini and went to the park? NO. she wore jeans and a t-shirt, which covers your whole body.
People like you only know how to suppress other people. There are many females who hide under abaya and do sinful things. How about them?
And reply to other comments. RAPE is a Criminal act. PERIOD.
It is better to control the men and teach them how to respect women rather than covering up women and setting men loose.
If men can't control thr argues, they will rape women in abaya and without abaya.
hilarious
On a side note (from the topic), bro ur comment was hilarious. I can't stop laughing.
I just don't get what so hard to understand. If you claim to be a Muslim, man/woman, you have to follow what Allah has ordered you, in this case Hijab/Purdah for women. Those who are against it/support those who refuse to follow Allah's order are doing contrary to their claims.
I am sure non-Muslims will never understand the concept of complete submission of one's will to Allah SWT. And if they do they will be on the way to accept Islam themselves.
A woman is also a human
A woman is also a human being not 100% private part.I think that your mother and sister to come out of their houses with bikini and you are showing your frustration by supporting abaya
Saudi woman held without Abaya
Good protest - her family was forced by the authorities to acept her back into their house-hold. Educated Saudi women would force the ultra-conservatives to smell the coffee and wake-up from their thousand years long sleep.
