Perhaps we bombed the wrong Middle Eastern Regime back to the Stone Age?

Religious police in Saudi Arabia arrest American women for sitting with a man

They also strip-searched her and subjected her to other forms of abuse. Her crime? Sitting with an unrelated man in the "family" section of a Saudi Starbucks.

And I won't even point out that plenty of Brooklyn and Monsey resteraunts also have family sections, though to the best of my knowledge, no one objects if unmarried men and women sit there together. Certainly, no one takes the offending woman into a dark prison and takes away her clothing. (Those cynics whispering under their dispicable breaths that its "only a matter of time" are kofrim and rabble-rousers who don't understand that the pure and perfect Law delivered to us via the unbroken chain of Mesorah NEVER EVER CHANGES. Ever.)

Really.
