chirp Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 I had a customer tell me about the separate lobbies but this is the first incident I have heard of. Curious. American woman removed from Saudi Starbucks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dechristo Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 Being strip-searched and spending a day in jail is a comparatively light sentence for such a sin by such whores in that part of the world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
empire Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 Something tells me this couldn't be one of ours. She'd have laughed in his face, taken the sucker punches, and pissed on their heads standing up once the cavalry arrived. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherri Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 “Some men came up to us with very long beards and white dresses. They asked 'Why are you here together?' I explained about the power being out in our office. They got very angry and told me what I was doing was a great sin,” she told the Times." And yet, it's ok for the men to go around wearing dresses?

TREETOAD Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 The sin was buying coffee at Starbucks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catbirdseat Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 Greed can be the only reason why a western woman would be fool enough to live in Saudi Arabia. This one got a quick education about what it is like to live in a 6th Century culture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clavote Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 I know it's their country and their laws, but the attitude of the US embassy just reeks of a bunch of submissive fucks. We can't even protest against the Saudis because the Bush administration has their nose too far up Saudis ass. We can't even complain when the men in dresses toss you into jail. Thanks US Embassy in Saudi Arabia for being so spineless. You could have protected that woman better, you could have done more. But noooooooo, working and drinking coffee with a man is OK in the office but taboo in Starbucks. Saudi Arabia is such a bullshit country. Saudi Arabia is not a democracy....but we're OK with "Freedom" not being there while at the same time Bush drops BILLIONS to bring "democracy" and "freedom" to Iraq and Afghanistan. Let's shock and awe Saudi Arabia and bomb all their fucking Starbucks to dust and effect regime change in Saudi Arabia. And let's start with regime change at the polls here at home. What good is a government that only protects the interest of corporations? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
