Saudi Arabia bans 'gays and tom-boys' from schools

Saudi Arabia has decided to bar "gays and tom-boys" from its government schools and universities within a crackdown against the spread of this phenomenon in the conservative Moslem Gulf Kingdom.

The Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice, the most feared law enforcement authority in the oil-rich country, has been asked to enforce the new orders.



“Instructions have been issued to all public schools and universities to ban the entry of gays and tom boys and to intensify their efforts to fight this phenomenon, which has been promoted by some websites,” it said.

They say gay and tom boy students can go back to schools and universities if they prove they have been corrected and have stopped such practices. High-level orders have been issued to the Commission to immediately enforce the new rules and to step up efforts to combat this phenomenon and other “unacceptable behavior” in public places.

Most Muslims are living in the past...they want to be part of the modern world, but the culture is stuck in a prior century...you can take your pick as to which century. Average??? I would guess the 1800's.
If it wasn't for oil, they would still be living in tents, and the world would ignore them.

Why do we need people to give Saudi Arabia attention? I think it's better when the world will just leave us be, we would at least be able to live in peace.
