The Religious Policeman: Emergency Meeting!
2006-02-20
The motorcades screech to a halt, lights flashing; burly bodyguards jump out and usher their charges into the conference hall. They have been summoned here from their palaces, their holiday villas, awakened from their beds, rushed here in their private jets. This is THE big meeting of the OIC, the Organization of the Islamic Conference. So are they finally going to resolve the Darfur conflict, the Brown-Muslim-on-Black-Muslim genocide that has already claimed an estimated 300,000 lives?

Well, actually, no.

Professor Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu, secretary-general of the Organization of the Islamic Conference, is contacting member states for an emergency meeting of their foreign ministers shortly to discuss major issues including the repercussions of the sacrilegious Danish cartoons.

Silly me, I should have realized. Cartoons are far more important than a "few dead darkies". We already learnt that after the 2006 Makkah Stampede.

Ihsanoglu has already spoken to Foreign Minister Prince Saud Al-Faisal, Yemeni Foreign Minister Abubakar Al-Qurbi and Malaysian Foreign Minister Syed Hamid Albar to fix a date for the meeting, press reports said yesterday quoting diplomatic sources....Professor Ihsanoglu has already informed Javier Solana, EU foreign policy chief, that the 57-member OIC was seeking the EUÂ’s cooperation to end the conflict as quickly as possible.

So the representatives of such enlightened and progressive governments as Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, and Malaysia, are going to give advice to the Europeans on what laws they should pass in their own countries.

#12  From the FAQ: The ruling elite would not look kindly upon my efforts. If found out, I would certainly lose my job, as already happens to those who publish critical letters in the press. I might also become a guest of Prince Nayif, until I "got my mind right".

I stand by what I said before: God, or Allah if you prefer, watch over him.

#11  HC - I've been reading him for well over a year - maybe 18 months - and was led to believe that was his claim by the person who clued me in to his blog. Your post made me curious, so I dug a little and found his FAQ from 4/26/2004... Learn something new everyday, lol.

Then read the last month or two. An excellent site.

#9  If TRP is who he says he is--I've no reason to doubt him--then God, or Allah if you prefer, watch over him. He gets busted for his blog, and it's head-chopping time.

#7  Oh, BTW 6, he's not an expat Saudi, his claim is that he's a Saudi mutawa - literally one of the Religious Police. And in most cases they are rather easily identified - in most case the following apply:
they don't wear a fan belt
the thobe is "too short"
they always wear sandals
they have beards, usually with henna applied

They used to carry little sticks, sorta like riding crops, a Nazi affectation, perhaps, back in the '80s - to whack people who were misbehaving and yes, I saw it done in the al Shula Mall in al Khobar in '92-'93... you saw them in Afghanistan, I'll bet, but I didn't see them on this last tour in SA, so maybe that's gone out of fashion.

#6  So nice of the major Islamic powers to give our world a solid glimpse of exactly where their priorities are placed. Let's keep them scurrying trampling. More cartoons, please.

#5  "Jeebus is that guy legit? A real ex-pat Saudi?"

Quite a bit of debate on that, 6. Two things are certain - he / she has a foot in both worlds, Western and Saudi, and his / her facility with English and Westernisms are almost pitch-perfect. It rings true enough for me.

#2  These weak and corrupt oligarchs are once again trying to ride the wave of zealotry and channel the hatred and violence toward the outsiders instead of standing against it. Strategically, I don't know if now is the right time for a full confrontation with these bastards, but it would be mighty satisfying if Rice or someone went there and told them to get a grip. What is it about a face culture that forces them to take actions that are guaranteed to make them lose face?
