#1 Forcing the girls back into a burning building because they did not have proper face coverings is a mistake or a false accusation? There are mistakes and then there is murder.

#2 These guys are called "mutawa", and can be seen in groups of 4 or 5 with a bored looking cop hanging around. They walk around malls correcting women and young men on clothes, not praying, etc. One stopped my kids' school bus in Riyadh and all the moms had to cover up, shut up, and take verbal abuse from the guy. What jerks.
