Tammy Bruce: When Starbucks meets Sharia
[Wash Times] Welcome to Starbucks in Saudi Arabia. With your tall nonfat latte you will also get an extra special gift: a giant, steaming pile of gender apartheid.U.N. Watch refers to Saudi Arabia as having "arguably the worst record in the world when it comes to religious freedom and women's rights," so it came as no surprise last week when women were barred from entering a Starbucks of all places. A person attempting to be a Starbucks customer was waylaid by the 6th century. Thinking she would get her java at the Riyadh Starbucks, instead she received some tall extra-fat Sharia and encountered a sign which she promptly tweeted. Outside the coffee shop was a notice that read in English and Arabic, "Please no entry for ladies only send your driver to order thank you." Social media exploded when "ManarM" tweeted, "#Starbucks store in Riyadh refused 2 serve me just because I'm a WOMAN & asked me 2 send a man instead." Posted by: Besoeker 2016-02-15 |
