Saudis Find Pictures of Women in Newspapers Disturbing

The Saudi king, Abdullah, has told newspapers in Saudi Arabia that they need to stop showing the faces of women in their papers, because it could cause young men to do bad things.

Shoot - and here we thought that Islam caused them to do bad things.

Saudis Nix Pictures of Women in Newspapers

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia - King Abdullah has told Saudi editors to stop publishing pictures of women as they could make young men go astray, newspapers reported Tuesday.

The king's directive, made in a meeting with local editors, caused surprise as the monarch has been regarded a quiet reformer since he took office in the ultra-conservative country last August.

In recent months, newspapers have published pictures of women — always wearing the traditional Muslim headscarf — to illustrate stories with increasing regularity. Usually the stories have had to do with women's issues. The papers have also started publishing a range of views on causes that are not generally accepted in Saudi Arabia — such as women having the right to drive and vote.

The king told editors on Monday night that publishing a woman's picture for the world to see was inappropriate.

"One must think, do they want their daughter, their sister, or their wife to appear in this way. Of course, no one would accept this," the newspaper Okaz quoted Abdullah as saying.


That's the morals of a cult like Islam. Pictures of women: bad. Muslims strapping explosives to their bodies and blowing up innocent men, women, and children: good.
