Boys of Khobar: My opinion

I don't know if any of you outside the Middle East are aware of this (I'm only aware of it because my friend happens to live in Khobar) but on Saudi National Day (September 23rd) approximately 200 young men decided to celebrate their patriotism by literally pillaging the city of Khobar. They broke into, destroyed and stole from many businesses in the city.

Well, since the idiots decided to VIDEOTAPE themselves, the government was able to round up 120 of them. Yesterday, all of the convicted had to put up with the usual: fines and public lashings. Since what they directly affected most citizens of the city, the viewer turnout was obviously extremely high.

I really don't pity them for the lashes and fines. They knew what they were doing was wrong. The damage they caused was probably in the millions of riyals. If they had done that in the states they'd probably get several years in prison as well as a fine. Honestly, I think it's like they're letting them go easy.

The thing that bugs me was the third punishment, a concept that I've only just now become aware of. My friend called it Tasheer and said that in a nutshell, it's where the names of the boys were announced publicly. The intent is to damage their reputation.

I'm not sure how I feel about that. I'm still pretty ignorant of the concept but my friend explained that basically it'd be extremely difficult for any of these boys to get decent jobs or get married to decent women because their names will always be tainted. It could also affect his family because they'll be known for having raised a criminal.

While I know of plenty of people who feel they deserve being branded with a scarlet letter, I'm kinda on the fence about it. I dunno. I bet most of the guys were about my age and knowing boys in their late teens-early twenties, I know that most of them REALLY don't think before they act. Some may argue that this may have been planned out for months since there were so many of them. Maybe that's true. I'd have to know more on the situation to give a more legit opinion but as of right now, I'm not sure how I feel about forever ruining someone's reputation. Especially for a crime they committed at such a young and stupid age. What do you think?

Here are some videos of what happened. The first is a video of it actually taking place. The second is a slide show of the overall damage.

Video 2:

I do not like you, Sam-I-Am!

Word of advice for men who view me as a potential wife: If you're old enough to be my father, forget it. In case that's too vague for you, if you're over the age of 28 then forget it. That is unless you're under 33, insanely attractive and a personality that makes you Majda as a man.

I bring this up because it appears I've caught the eye of a certain man at my masjid. Am I interested? Ugh, no. He's like 45 and 200 pounds heavier than me. Call me shallow if you like, but I'm kinda offended.

In a way, I blame myself. On my way out from the Friday prayers, he made his way toward me and asked for my age, name, and national origin. I wish I had faked a heavy incomprehensible accent and said I was 14 year old with some ridonculously long name from Kyrgyzstan.

My first encounter with him was pretty normal. I was on my way to the masjid one week and he had said salaam to me. Fair enough. He then went on to compliment my beauty and I just looked at him awkwardly and said "thanks" in a gruff and obviously uncomfortable tone. May Allah reward him for following the sunnah but I wasn't a fan of the cologne he was wearing at all. It tore at my nasal passages like shattered glass.

On Islam Day, I saw him again. He had said salaam to me again. I politely returned the greeting and met up with my friends, as I was much more interested them than a burly old man.

For some reason I had to walk past him again and this time he was standing with a little old lady. He waved at me and said aloud, "Sister! I'd like to introduce you to my mother!"

My heart stopped and my blood grew cold. I couldn't think and it was as if my vision turned blank. Finally I snapped to my senses and my expression turned to that of obvious fear. With my judgment out of order I relied on my insticts.

"NO!" I shouted before running in the opposite direction. I felt somewhat mean for being so rude to his mother so I turned around and curtsied (wtf). I apologized to his mother for being so rude and turned back to run. The last thing I remember was his mother looking more than a little confused and her son looking very offended.

So moral of the story: Do not think I want to meet your mother if you are as old as mine. :3

3EIDKOM MOBARAK

Yup. It's Eid. I've been away because I've been preparing for it. Plus I've got school, work, and well... A life.

There hasn't been much of anything going on lately but the few things that did occur were:

1) For the first time in my life, I've felt an uncontrollable urge to tackle a woman into incoming traffic because she annoyed the crap out of me. Thankfully my ride came before I had the chance.

2) I made a lovely new friend on the bus. A very nice fellow. :D

3) Started woooooooooork!

4) 3EIIIIIID! Not much happened for Eid besides me leaving early to travel to the other side of the island to get a reuben sandwich. I then forgot it in the car. D:

For those who read my book, I'm almost done with the second chapter. Bear with me! D:

Regarding my story...

I've decided that I will continue. However, since I dislike the idea of my work getting stolen, I'm going to post new updates in the form of a private blog.
