What do you know about the Saudi Religious Police?

Hi

Take the quiz, find out what life is like in Saudi.

Re: What do you know about the Saudi Religious Police?

That was interesting, but I'm afraid I did rather poorly in the quiz.

I can only assume that things have improved since I was there. I remember witnessing a mutawa (they were all old men with beards) in a shopping centre hitting a woman around her legs for not having them covered up.

It would appear that I know sweet FA about Saudi Arabia which doesn't worry me as I have no intention of ever going again.

The first and last time was enough.

At the risk of accusations being made, some of us were planning to go into town on a Friday to see a beheading.

No, don't shout at me, you lot. We never went.

I got two out of six so my knowledge is dismal. I am so glad I have never been nor do I want to go just in case I commit a transgression .

Hi

Saudi is one place that I have never been.

It appeals as much as North Korea.

There used to be a game called "crash" where the foreign workers would bib their car horn whilst the traffic lights were on red so the front row of cars would zoom across the junction.

I won't go into too much detail, it was a silly and immature game, one I never played, of course






Jeez it was funny.......not, obviously.

1/6
How confusing. Sometimes they don't appear to have any legal authority and at others throw their weight around like bully boys.
Glad I'm never likely to run into them I wouldn't be sure what I could or could not do.
