as salam alykom yasmeen
I am not trying to defend the regime here, but I just want us to wait till they come up with an explanation if they do, so that we dont make pre mature judgments.
As far as I understand yes they have some situations where they go off limits. But at the same time, I saw the Sharia being applied there of course the shortcomings come from human beings.
I also know that they have some discrimination in regard to other nationalities versus Saudis. I really dont like to bring bad news in public, but my intention is not so, my intention is just explaining.
I remember when i went for Haj like 13 years ago, I was right inside the haram, I was harrased by a Saudi male who just run away after he did harrase me of course knowing what he could be exposed to.
I sought help of a Saudi guard inside the Haram while the guy was still in sight and could be easily captured. But he refuesed to go after him telling me that is ok. Just go on.
But then Mash a Allah the female Saudi guards responsible to keep security within the women section came to him shouting and telling him in face if she was a Saudi would u have behaved like this? they told me come will take u to the superior to report this guard not only the man.
I said I am right inside the house of the Super Superior and I report both.
But I was really touched by the women's honesty. So Yasmeen good is still there.
Let us wait I am hoping they come up with an explanation la hawla wala qowata ila billah
I mean even if they were stealing, if the theft is proved khalas. Just take them and apply the Had.
O ya Allah Help us and make us better Muslims
