Comments on: Saudis' "Miss Beautiful Morals" Pageant

No Swimsuit Competition At Saudi Arabia's Only Beauty Contest

I believe the article stated that the purpose is to encourage their young people to be more respectful of their parents and that they are using a version of a western custom to get the attention of modern young people. Why are we mocking anyone who is trying to promote respect for parents in their young people? Oh, I know, because we no longer expect anyone her to be respectful of others and certainly cannot be expected to refrain from belittling others.

For the final test the contestants will each be strapped with dynamite,
sent out in the streets and be timed on how quickly they can find infidels
and blow themselves and the infidels up.

All judgements will be final.

Fake Islamic morals.

They own half the prostitutes in America and around the world
and they stone young girls to death.

Yeah, this is one great culture.

So, who is that woman behind that mask?

I don't know, but she left a silver tampon.

This is clearly a weak and feeble attempt to try to appease the world's criticism. It's to let us know why they are better than we are... because they have 'inner' beauty. I guess we don't.

You have to honor your mother and father or you will be killed. Take that burka off in public and you will be shot or beaten in public or a male member of your family has a right to kill you. And, if you disagree... you will be killed. That's their law.

What hypocritical male dominated society would blame the women for their own evil thoughts. I guess (and their whole religion is base on the thought) that you can't "desire" them if you can't see them. Women are treated as property to be bought and sold. They are not thought of a real human beings by their captors, only sacks of property. Making them wear sacks keeps them from being thought of as real human beings.

At least in other countries, the men are more subtle about their control. We're free to wander about in society as uncovered as we want and can do pretty much whatever we want. They just keep us in low paying jobs and don't pay us as much for doing the same jobs as men. The only thing we have over our heads that we don't like is a glass ceiling.

I guess that's not so bad by comparison... haven't gotten shot for that lately.

Great post, thank you!

It will take some time, but the conservative Muslim is on the way out, unless they manage to cut off all contact with the outside world. Isolationism promotes tyranny (which is one of the many things that is wrong with those who support the idea in America). Freedom is insidious; once people get a hint of it, despite the best efforts of conservatives (again, this is true in America as well; after all that is what conservatism is all about -- preventing change and maintaining the status quo, and even rolling back the clock if possible), they want it for themselves.

Saudi's religion is younger than the united states,

The United States as a nation is a little over 200 years old. Islam is about 1400 years old. How does that make it younger than the U.S.?
