Bravo to this Saudi woman. Because of the social contact between the ruling family and the religious establishment, there is a delicate balance between the two power groups in the Kingdom leading to a face-off on most clashes. The King who has all the authority, will only step in and chastise the religious zealots them if they exceed all bounds.

Subject: [Goanet] Brave Saudi woman confronts religious police trying to chastise her for having painted nails - then posts video online I have lived in Saudi for 7 years, both in Jeddah and in Riyadh. We found Jeddah more tolerant although it is very close to Mecca and Medina. We quit Saudi after the Mutawa started harassing women, including my wife. This is the culture of Wahabi Muslims.
