EDDAH: ARAB NEWS

All Islamic countries should have a committee for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice (Haia), which would ensure correct practices among Muslims. Islamic countries would benefit from having such a body and could take advantage of the Kingdom’s experience in this field.
Participants in a conference that the Prince Naif bin Abdul Aziz Chair for the Study of the Haia at the Islamic University organized, in collaboration with the General Presidency of the Haia, suggested this.
They called to forge partnerships between these Haia committees and media organizations, to strengthen relationships within the community and promote a virtuous culture according to the Qur’an and Sharia law.
NOTE BY THE EDITOR: I assume the Saudi financed Center for Inter-religious Dialogue in Vienna will be spreading this message too.
Additional Note by the Editor: Actually the Saudi ‘Religious Police’ (Haia) could provide consultancy services to France and other countries that have banned the Burka. The work will be exactly the opposite of what they do in Saudi Arabia, but the system will be the same.
