Saudi Arabia Reportedly Deports 3 Men for Being ‘Too Handsome’

[Inqhilab]

It’s a good problem to have, but it’s still a problem for three men who have reportedly been deported from Saudi Arabia for being “too handsome.”

The men were visiting Saudi Arabia from the United Arab Emirates to attend the annual Jenadrivah Heritage & Cultural Festival in Riyadh. They were apparently minding their own business when members of Saudi Arabia’s religion police entered the pavilion and forcibly removed them from the festival. Their offense? They were considered “too handsome” to stay for fear that women would find them irresistible, 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 this week, as quoted on the website Arabian Business. The Emirati men were subsequently deported to Abu Dhabi. In Saudi Arabia women are largely prohibited from interacting with unrelated males.

It's a shame one of the most backward countries in the world has some of the most wealth in the world.

Women can't even drive there, let alone walk freely and live life as a human being on our very own planet.

Welcome to the "civilized" western world where women can drive and are paraded nude on the streets..........unfortunately these civilized countries have more rape cases in a single day then these backward countries in a whole year.

Isn't that hypocritical on the part of the Saudis? They eject men for being too handsome so that their women don't go ga ga over them! But how about foreign women in minis showing more than they care to hide? How about they being ejected too so that Saudi men don't go ga ga over them?

Are you really going to equate driving a car to parading nude on the streets? You have the intellect of a cockroach my brainwashed pal.

And no, countries like Pakistan have far more occurrences of rape on a DAILY basis then places like Hong Kong. Hell, women in your country who report rape would get stoned for it! Please, don't even contrast Pakistan to Hong Kong

Actually, this is true. When I was in Saudi Arabia training the Saudi Air Force, I was considered soooooo handsome that I was permanently followed by burka-ed women wherever I went. I mean...They tossed their undies at me...!!! As if I was the young Tom Jones...!!! I guess that would be one benefit of being burka-ed: She can take off her unmentionable without being caught.

Anyway...That was such a shock to me, plus I was committed to being faithful to my (ex)wife at that time, I had to beg my CO to request an armed Saudi police escort so I can do my job. Once the TDY was over, I swore to myself I would never return to Saudi Arabia.

Catch this...

In the 'civilized' world, our women have the option of dressing like an astronaut, along with bikinis or even nothing at all. In the backward world dominated by religious nutjobs, women have no choice or only choices given to them BY MEN. So what make you think that rapes do not happen in those backward countries dominated by religious nutjobs? I mean...THINK about it for a moment, if you have a slave, someone that you have absolute control of life or death over, does it matter to the law if you whip or rape that slave woman?

Sorry I can't post my version of "catch it" pic from your part of the world, it would be a violation of forum rules......get it?

By the way those poor women covering their selves with shaggy rags are much better than the one in million dollar astronaut suit which on the week-end strolls the beaches nude like a slut.
