Life Under Sharia

I sincerely hope that the anti-war liberals who marched against the war in Iraq and for the terrorist state of Palestine are proud of the efforts made by their Jihadist colleagues to advance the cause of woman's rights under Sharia Law.

Now, it seems, women cannot take their home PCs to repair shops in Saudi Arabia without wickedly alluring the technicians into fits of decadent ecstacy. Naturally, this is not to be permitted, so they'll just have to do without those devices of the devil:

RIYADH (AFP) - Saudi female users of personal computers are facing the danger of privacy intrusion by men due to the lack of maintenance shops run by women in the conservative kingdom.

Amina, who had desposited her computer for repairs in a shop in Riyadh, was "shocked to receive a phone call from the shop owner asking her about the identity of some women appearing in photos saved on the hard disk," the Asharq Al-Awsat newspaper said Saturday.

He told her that she should save her photos somewhere else "because they are tempting," the paper said, adding that "he offered her a booklet of Islamic fatwas (religious edicts) as a present when she collected her PC."

Noura, a university student, discovered that some files were missing when she retrieved her laptop from a repairs shop.

"A few days later I was amazed to find a message in my e-mail inbox including some of the missing files ... signed by the shop owner," the daily quoted her as saying.

It is apparently difficult to open computer maintenance shops operated by women in Saudi Arabia as the expertise is not available, Omar Salah, a computer engineer, told the paper.

I suppose the fact that women are beaten if they show up to business classes could always be a contributing factor.
