Haia rescues girl from blackmailer

By MUHAMMAD AL-SULAMI | ARAB NEWS

JEDDAH: The Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice (Haia) in Buraidah announced on Tuesday that it was able to rescue a Saudi girl from a blackmailer who threatened to show her messages and pictures to her family if she did not succumb to his sexual desires.

The commission said the frightened girl went to the Haia center in Qasim, who caught the blackmailer after an ambush. A spokesman added that the man admitted his crime, regretted his actions and pledged never to resort to such actions again.

The Haia said it took and destroyed all photographs of the girl and her messages and worked to protect the identity of the girl, who is about to get married.

Bismillah,
Ha'ia is playing a very good role in the Saudi society.
In this particular case, what about the punishment to the girl and the boy? Since the news about this evil affair is out, there must be a suitable punishment for this pair. Or this will encourage others to indulge in such evils and later finish it off with the help of Haia.
The culprit is not the boy only, but the girl too. Even if she is getting married there is no reason not to punish her.

What are you saying? OH, you mean this is all not her fault? How can this be? Maybe some people are trying to act human? Good Job!

When will these sexual predators learn. Don't they read the news? All such predators got caught and punished because of their blackmailing. Do they really think they can get away with such puny threats so easily?

I really wish these things where reported by the news papers in the west - they seem only to pick up and publish anything that discredit the muslims and Islam.

The action by Haia in Buraidah is without doubt very noble.

So what about the girl???? he did'nt get the pictures without her giving him. Both should be punished same way. They caught the boy made him admit and threatened him and they let the girl go just like that? how did her messages and pictures get in his phone? was her picture raining in jeddah? I am not taking just one side what i am saying is that if one of them is punished how can they let the other go just like that, both the parties should get the same punishment. Now a days it has become that we cannot go to shopping malls and supermarkets with our family as we have to face many filthy boys and girls interuppting our shopping in by some means. Last time i saw a saudi family beating up a guy at a mall mercilessly after he went behind their daughter what they did not see was that it was their daughter who called the guy to pass on her number. And it is when the boys start playing dirty that the girls go to their family and either admitt to what they did or make up a story to save her sorry self. The parents who go out with their daughter should keep an eye on them or atleast be with them while they are shopping and stop sending them alone to the mentioned places for their on safety and to reduce news like these. Shame on those who just drop their wifes and daughters at shopping malls and just go away only to come back and pick them up once their done. Atleast the father or brother should be with them to stop some filty boys who gets up every morning just for this. It will be hard to control these alibabas so we should atleat try and be with our daughters or sisters while they shop for their peace and safety from these scroundrells.
