A Saudi writer with more than 97,000 Twitter followers has been promoting the
molestation of women on under the
hash-tag #harass_female_cashiers to pressure for Saudi women to stay at home in
order to protect their chastity.
Abdullah Mohammad Al Dawood, author of several books, urged his abundance
of followers to harass women working
in Saudi grocery stores nationwide.
He is attempting to campaign against the employment of women in mixed-gender
environments and his move towards
condoning assault is regarded as a backlash against mild socioeconomic reforms in
the country.
Since 2011, women have begun taking up private-sector work in increasing
droves, following official moves
encouraging their influx into the sphere in order to boost the country’s economy.
His tweet was apparently ‘justified’ by a sermon about a 7th-century Islamic
warrior who did not want his wife to leave
home to visit the mosque, according to Gulf News.
The warrior, Al Zubair, hid in the dark and molested his wife anonymously when
she left the house. His terrified spouse
never set foot outside again, realizing that the external world was a corrupt and
evil place.
Some fellow conservatives have lauded his Twitter campaign as part of a great
fight against government efforts to
‘Westernize’ the nation.
One cleric, named Khalid Ebrahim Al Saqabi was fully supportive, saying that
government laws against sexual harassment
were only meant to encourage consensual debauchery, and accused the labor
minister of being “concerned with finding jobs
for women instead of men.”
Another stated that, “They had better ban mingling of the sexes, not protect it.”
