Arab woman beat up virtue cop


Saudi woman beats up religious police officer who stopped her for walking with a man

By Mail Foreign Service
When a Saudi religious policeman questioned a young couple walking together in an amusement park he got a painful surprise - when the woman suddenly attacked him.

The officer, from the Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice, asked the pair to confirm their identities and relationship to one another.

Unmarried men and women are barred from mixing under Saudi Arabia's strict Islamic rules.

The young man immediately collapsed for reasons that have not been made clear, the Jerusalem Post reported.

But before the policeman could do anything else, the woman - believed to be in her mid-twenties - laid into him.

He was punched repeatedly about the head and upper torso during the attack in the eastern city of Hofuf Mubarraz.

The assault was so severe and sustained, the officer was eventually taken to hospital suffering from severe bruising.

Neither religious nor local police have commented on the incident, which was widely played out in the Saudi media.

If the woman is charged with assaulting the officer, she could face a lengthy prison term, or a lashing, or both.

But public opinion appears to have been firmly behind her.

'People are fed up with these religious police, and now they have to pay the price for the humiliation they put people through for years and years,' Saudi human rights activist Wajiha Al Huwaidar told the Media Line news agency.

'To see resistance from a woman means a lot... This is just the beginning and there will be more.'

The incident took place in the city of Mubarraz in Saudi Arabia

Saudi's archaic laws mean that, in addition to being barred from socialising with men in public, Saudi woman are also banned from driving.

They cannot divorce, inherit, or gain custody of their children, and they must be chaperoned in public by a male relative at all times.

The Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice - known locally as the Hai'a - are tasked with enforcing these laws.

But resistance to the draconian measures - <span style="font-weight: bold">fuelled and empowered by the internet</span> - has been growing in recent months.

'There is some sort of change taking place,' Nadya Khalife, the Middle East women’s rights researcher for Human Rights Watch, told The Media Line.

'But it’s not quite clear what’s happening and it’s not something that’s going to happen overnight.'

Muslim woman veil get rip off in France

Burqa rage as female lawyer rips veil off Muslim woman in French clothes shop

By Peter Allen

A 60-year-old female lawyer ripped a Muslim woman's Islamic veil off during a row in what French police described as the first known case of ‘burqa rage’.

The astonishing scene unfolded in a clothes shop in France when the pair came to blows before being arrested.

It came as racial tensions grow over of the country's plans to introduce a total ban on burqas and other forms of religious dress which cover the face.

The 26-year-old Muslim convert was walking through the store in Trignac, near Nantes, in the western Loire-Atlantique region, when she overhead the lawyer making ‘snide remarks about her black burqa'.

A police officer added: ‘The lawyer said she was not happy seeing a fellow shopper wearing a veil and wanted the ban introduced as soon as possible.’

At one point the lawyer, who was out with her daughter, is said to have likened the Muslim woman to Belphegor - a horror demon character well known to French television viewers.

The lawyer’s use of the name ‘Belphegor’ was particularly inflammatory, said police, because the demon was portrayed by classical writers as ‘Hell’s ambassador to France’.

Belphegor, who hates human beings, is usually portrayed as a monstrous demon with horns and pointed nails, but frequently disguises himself.

During a period in Paris, Belphegor was said to live with a group of vampires in the Louvre.

Police said the incident was still being investigated, and that charges could follow.

Neither woman has yet been named.

A ‘shouting argument’ started in the store before the older woman is said to have ripped the other woman’s veil off.

<span style="font-weight: bold">As they came to blows on Saturday afternoon, the lawyer’s daughter joined in, with the three women clashing.</span>

‘The shop manager and the husband of the Muslim woman moved to break up the fighting,’ the police officer said.

‘All three were arrested and taken to the local gendarmerie for questioning.’

A spokesman for Trignac police said that ‘two complaints had been received’, with the Muslim woman accusing the lawyer of racial and religious assault. The latter, in turn, had accused her opponent of common assault.

The French parliament has adopted a formal motion declaring burqas and other forms of Islamic dress to be ‘an affront to the nation’s values'.

Some have accused criminals of wearing veils to disguise themselves. This includes everything from terrorists to minor shop lifters.

A ban, which could be introduced as early as autumn, would make France the second country after Belgium to outlaw the Islamic veil in public places.

But many have criticised the anti-burqa lobby, which includes President Nicolas Sarkozy, for stigmatising Muslim housewives.

Many French women from council estates are forced to wear the veils because of pressure from authoritarian husbands.

The promise of a ban has prompted warnings of racial tensions in a country which is home to some five million Muslims - one of the religion's largest communities in Europe.

Mr Sarkozy's cabinet is to examine a draft bill which will impose one-year prison sentences and fines of up to £14,000 on men who force their wives to wear a burqa.

Women themselves will face a smaller fine of just over £100 because they are ‘often victims with no choice in the matter,’ says the draft.

The law would create a new offence of 'incitement to cover the face for reasons of gender’.

And it would state: ‘No-one may wear in public places clothes that are aimed at hiding the face.’

Women would not be ‘unveiled’ in the street but instead taken to a police station to be formally identified, the draft law states.
