SAUDI ARABIA CRACKS DOWN ON GAYS IN SCHOOLS
Saudi Arabia has issued orders for “gays and tomboys” to be barred from government schools and universities.
This is in an effort to “prevent the spread” of homosexuality and “unacceptable behaviour.”
Emirates247.com quoted the Arabic language daily newspaper Sharq as reporting that the feared Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice has been tasked with enforcing the orders.
“Instructions have been issued to all public schools and universities to ban the entry of gays and tomboys and to intensify their efforts to fight this phenomenon, which has been promoted by some websites,” the commission said.
It remains unclear who issued the orders to the commission.
The report added that if gay and tomboy students can show that they have been “corrected” and “have stopped such practices” they will be allowed to return to school.
Homosexuality is illegal in Saudi Arabia and is punishable with imprisonment, corporal punishment and even the death penalty.
Earlier this year, a 30-year-old man was arrested by religious police in Saudi Arabia for using his Facebook profile to meet other men.
Let us start with our own sanctions against all these Arab Countries. Stop visiting Dubai, stop using Air Emirates etc.
When will the Western world realize that Islam is incompatible with our Western ideals? I’m tired of hearing brainwashed and uninformed people saying that “Islam is a religion of peace and tolerance”! I find Islam totally offensive – it is a dangerous and degenerate ideology and it must be treated accordingly. I agree with Peter: boycott Islamic countries and goods!
Such Beautiful people… funny enough they can be pretty nice. The day I come out the closet, I know I’ll lose my muslim friends. Even more strange how some of them look at me like Im a juicy steak every so often… Go figure
islam is just a cruel religion i would never want to live in a muslim dominated society, its just too much..people can not be themselves! i pity young people live in such communities
Hopefully the next Syria ! Can’t wait for the implosion
I agree with Peter! I would agree to never visit Dubai or any country for that matter that hasn’t legalized homosexuality. It might not seem a grand gesture but when a million or more agree- I’m sure their pro-eastern cutlure will bend. Pun intended
