THE RELIGIOUS POLICEMAN

Management of this blog is proud to announce that it has discovered another brilliant blog - Muttawa blogspot: http://muttawa.blogspot.com/


You will please kindly note that I have already pasted the clickable link on the side, underneath the Shaigetz.


The bannertext describes it as "The diary of a Saudi man, currently living in the United Kingdom, where the Religious Police no longer trouble him for the moment."


Well, that's like saying that Mar Gavriel writes about shabbes, or the Gadol Hador writes about stuff - both statements are accurate, but they don't even begin to describe the marvels of the blogs in question. And so it is with 'The Religious Policeman'.


As just a sample, please click on this link http://muttawa.blogspot.com/2006_01_01_muttawa_archive.html#113856815059967166
to see the 'Muslim Offense Level' explained.


Or check out this wonderful statement:
"Cartoons? Yes, cartoons. Not the revoltingly anti-semitic ones that we all so love and appreciate. No, these are different. These are those Danish cartoons, again."



But I really recommend that you start at the beginning, where the author of 'The Religious Policeman' started: http://muttawa.blogspot.com/2004_03_01_muttawa_archive.html


Or click at random, and find treasure. Like this:
http://muttawa.blogspot.com/2005_09_01_muttawa_archive.html
in which he explains what the prohibited items (that shopkeepers must not sell and customers must not buy) are according to the Saudi religious police. It's a good one.

Or here: http://muttawa.blogspot.com/2005_11_01_muttawa_archive.html
Where you will read about bloodmoney. Quote: "You Christians out there, forgiving for free, you are missing out on a business opportunity here!"


I do not know whether this blogger and I would get along - there are undoubtedly matters where we do not see eye to eye - but if we ever meet, I would hope we would.
I appreciate his wit.

A big thank-you to Shnoon, for sending me the link and introducing me to the religious policeman.
