Video of Saudi Woman Defying Religious Police Goes Viral
May 28, 201
Riyadh. A YouTube video of a Saudi woman defying orders by the notorious religious police to leave a mall because she was wearing nail polish has gone viral, attracting more than a million hits in just five days.
The three and a half minute video posted on May 23 shows members of the Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice telling the women to "get out of here."
But the woman refused to comply, saying: "I'm staying and I want to know what you're going to do about.
"It's none of your business if I wear nail polish," the unidentified woman, who is not seen on tape, is heard shouting at bearded men from the feared religious force.
"You are not in charge of me," she defiantly shouted back, referring to new constraints imposed earlier this year on the religious police which ban them from harassing Saudi women over their behavior and attire.
"The government has banned you from coming after us," she told the men, adding "you are only supposed to provide advice, and nothing more."
In January, Saudi King Abdullah appointed a moderate to head the religious police, raising hopes that a more lenient force would ease Draconian social constraints in the Islamic country.
Two weeks into his post, Sheikh Abdullatif Abdel Aziz al-Sheikh banned volunteers from serving in the commission which enforces the kingdom's strict Islamic rules.
And in April he went further, prohibiting the religious police from "harassing people" and threatening "decisive measures against violators."
As of Monday, the video was viewed more than 1,142,000 times, with over 12,000 people posting comments online — most of them denouncing the woman's behavior.
One posting said she had "no shame" and accused her of "prostituting" herself. Another called her a "slut" and a "whore."
The clip earned only about 1800 "likes." The number of "dislikes" reached almost 7000.
The woman filmed the incident herself and posted it on YouTube. At one point during the video, she cautions the religious police that she has already posted the exchange online.
It is also not clear if the woman was eventually forced to leave the mall.
The religious police prevent women from driving, require them to be covered from head to foot in black, ban public entertainment, and force all commerce, from supermarkets to petrol stations, to come to a halt at prayer times, five times a day.
