RIYADH, Saudi Arabia -- Saudi Arabia began interrogating 57 men Saturday who were arrested after allegedly flirting with women in front of a shopping mall in the holy city of Mecca, a local newspaper reported.

The country's religious police arrested the men Thursday night, alleging behavior that included dancing to pop music blaring from their cars and wearing improper clothing, according to the Okaz newspaper, which is deemed close to the government.

The Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and the Prevention of Vice runs the religious police, who are charged with enforcing Saudi Arabia's strict Islamic lifestyle.

Anytime anyone wants to get Jesus involved in our secular government, I start to panic. It threatens the fantastic freedom that we have to be as salacious as we want to be. After all, fundis are the same the world over, and if Doug had been born in Riyadh, he'd be beating the shit out of uncovered women day and night.

I honestly believe that this is exactly the reason why Islamic terror exists. If you took a bunch of 18 year old American men, and told them that they can't talk to any women in public, cannot see any women that are not covered head-to-toe, and could not even imagine actually having sex.. then you'd probably see some really fucked up shit as a result.

Naturally.. President Bush and the Conservative movement approves of these policies. Why else would Bush be head over heals for Bandar?
