Religious Police
The international community had its headlights shining on the Islamic religious police in 2002. A fire engulfed an all-girls’ school in Mecca and 15 young girls perished in the blaze. What came to light following the event, was that the religious police didn’t let girls leave in the building in time to be rescued from the fire. Why? Because they weren’t fully dressed according to the constraints of Islamic law.
