Saudi Arabia religious police centre attacked



Riyadh: Unknown attackers tried to set fire to a religious police centre in Riyadh in an “intentional” attack, causing no casualties, local media reported on Sunday.


The body, the Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice, is charged with ensuring compliance with the kingdom’s interpretation of Islam-based morality, but is often accused of abuses.


The attack late on Saturday night was “intentional and the assailants targeted the electricity meter outside the centre” to try to start a fire, deputy spokesman for the commission in Riyadh, Mohammad Al Shuraimi, said.
Officials said on Sunday that security cameras showed a fire being set to an electrical meter outside the office. There were no injuries or serious damage.


“None of the workers at the centre were hurt and no major damage was caused” by the attack, he said, adding that the security services had launched an investigation.


Criticism of the force has grown on social media sites, but violence against officers or facilities is unusual.


Saudi leaders, meanwhile, increasingly have opposed once widespread practices such as beating or humiliating alleged violators of the ultraconservative kingdom’s rules such as gender segregation and full coverings for women.


The kingdom this year set new limitations on the powers of members of the commission, such as interrogating suspects and pressing charges.


In March, a widely viewed Internet video showed a woman belittling an officer who tried to remove her from a mall because of her nail polish.


But religious police continue to prevent women from driving, enforce a ban on public entertainment and force all businesses, from supermarkets to petrol stations, to close for prayers five times a day.

پاکستان کے برعکس اب ان حملہ آور دہشت گردوں کا عبرتناک انجام ہو گا.ایسا انجام کہ ان دہشت گردوں کی آئندہ آنے والی نسلیں بھی دہشت گردی سے توبہ توبہ کرینگی. یہی وہ وجہ ہے کہ جس کی بدولت تمام اسلامی ممالک میں دہشت گردی کوفروغ دینے کے باوجود ایران اور سعودی عرب میں ایسے واقعیات کی شرح بہت زیادہ کم ہے

Inshallah such and more violent attacks will become frequent in a country that finances extremism in Afghanistan and Pakistan. Inshallah soon they will have a taste of their own medicine.

Saudi's are responsible for creating sectarian violence in Pakistan. They also side with the American's wanting to see Iran attacked as they are the threat to these playboy Sheikh's. I was glad to read how Russia plans to make hell out of them if Syria is attacked by the American's. This so-called religious police never takes any action against what the elite Arab's or expats get up to in the so-called kingdom.

They are gifting jewels to Hilary Clinton whilst their Arab brethren in Palestine, Iraq and Syria and dying from war, thirst and hunger! Mecca, Medina and the Ka'aba must be liberated from these cruel, corrupt and oppressive thugs:angry_smile:

What m0r0ns here. Everything is bad with Saudi Arabia but never mention Iran in the same sentence. Just goes to show me you are all taqayyah baaz. Its a pitty that you guys are working together but your opponents are sleeping considering you to be one of us. Is that not laughable. You people have always been traitors and will always be traitors - all of you Mir Jaafers and Mir Sadiqs.
