These wahhabis r sick.. Remember the school fire in Mecca ten years ago when the idiot wahhabis made sure the girls in the school didn't leave the burning school because they were not wearing a hijab. They locked the doors from the outside and even beating some of the girls who tried to escape!!!!!!
wtf
Truth!
According to at least two reports, members of the Committee for the Propagation of Virtue and the Prevention of Vice (CPVPV), also known as Mutaween, would not allow the girls to escape or to be saved from the fire because they were "not properly covered", and the mutaween did not want physical contact to take place between the girls and the civil defense forces for fear of sexual enticement, and variously that the girls were locked in by the police, or forced back into the building.[2][6] Civil Defense stated that the fire had extinguished itself before they arrived on the scene. CPVPV officers did appear to object to Civil Defense workers going into the building, though at best their efforts slowed down the evacuation of the wounded. Human Rights Watch quoted a Civil Defense officer as saying,
"Whenever the girls got out through the main gate, these people forced them to return via another. Instead of extending a helping hand for the rescue work, they were using their hands to beat us."
