Mutawa (polisi agama) Saudi itu ngbunuh orang Saudi, apakah dia akan ganti
nyawa si korban dgn nyawanya?

Kayaknya kagak tuh, nunjukin bhw ISlam itu emang agama unt orang2 munafik
yg cuma bisa nerapin ajaran Islam ke orang lain, tp ogah kalo diterapkan ke
diri sendiri.


 October 1, 2013   Man injured in Saudi religious
police chase dies

A Saudi man, whose brother was killed when a religious police patrol
crashed into their car during a hot pursuit last week, died Tuesday of his
injuries, his family said.



Saud al-Qaws died from wounds sustained in the chase, just hours after the
funeral of his brother Nasser who was killed on the spot in the September
24 incident, a third brother, Saad, told AFP.



Last week a patrol of the notorious religious police, which is charged with
ensuring compliance with Islamic morality but often accused of abuses,
chased the brothers before crashing into their sedan and forcing it off an
overpass and onto a lower-level road.



The patrol vehicle fled the scene immediately and the reasons behind the
deadly car chase still remain unknown.



Pan-Arab newspaper *Al-Hayat *said members of the religious police which is
unofficially known as Mutawaa were arrested and that a probe is underway,
with the judiciary having the final say in the matter.



"We will not discuss details until the investigation is over," Saad said.



"If members of the Commission [for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention
of Vice] or others are charged in the case, we demand penalty," he said
using the official name of the religious police.



Saud suffered head wounds and lapsed into coma. He was pronounced dead
early Tuesday following a brain hemorrhage, Al-Hayat reported in its online
edition.



The ultra-conservative kingdom this year set new limitations on the
commission, saying the Mutawaa would no longer interrogate suspects or
press charges, but must instead refer cases to the regular police.



But religious police continue to prevent women from driving, enforce a ban
on public entertainment and force all businesses, from supermarkets to
petrol stations, to close for prayers five times a day.



The September 24 deadly car chase sparked an uproar on social networks.



A page on Twitter was created with the hashtag "#The commission kills two
citizens on the national day."



But hardliners like cleric Nasser al-Omar have warned that any attempt at
"weakening the commission will lead to the spread of vice in the kingdom."



In July 2012, Saudi authorities arrested four members of the religious
police who allegedly caused the death of a man and the injury of his wife
and two children in a similar car chase.



Religious police chief Sheikh Abdullatif Abdel Aziz al-Sheikh, a relatively
moderate appointed in January 2012, had raised hopes that a more lenient
force will ease draconian social constraints in the Islamic country.



In April he prohibited the religious police from "harassing people" and
threatening "decisive measures against violators."
