(AhlulBayt News Agency) - Muslims worldwide condemned Saudi regime for allowing wealthy women to perform the annual Hajj rituals at Islamic holy sites in Mecca and Medina without covering their head and chest.

"Muslims in Malaysia are being indignant by the scene of a woman mingling with men and parrying without observing Islamic dress code in the holy Masjid al-Haram — the Grand Mosque. It is said that this insane woman is the daughter of a one Lebanese official but Law does not discriminate between prince and pauper. The Saudi regime is the epitome of hypocrisy and deception," Malaysian Today quoted Zulkifli Mohamad al-Bakri , the Mufti of Malaysia Federal Territories as saying on Thursday.
Loulaw Hariri is the daughter of Saad-eddine al-Hariri--a close Saudi ally--, the Lebanese politician and billionaire who served as the Prime Minister of Lebanon from 2009 until 2011.

According to Saudi daily al-Okaz, the religious leader was speaking on a Saudi television channel on Thursday and claimed women driving alone could cause problems for families as they "would not know where they were".
Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA), an opulent Middle–Eastern country where traditional society is ruled by the iron fist but in the recent years there is a brewing tension beneath Serene façade of Saudi civil society but the self-proclaimed western defenders of democracy remain silent as they hear the dulcet sound of crude oil bubbling from Saudi deserts.
Despite the American administration dubious silence and sometime tacit consent regarding the deplorable Human Rights situation in Saudi Arabia, many international bodies voiced their concerns about the deteriorating political and social situation in KSA. The Obama administration which constantly criticizes the lack of democracy and basic human rights in independent countries is hesitating to denounce its rich Arab ally.
The despotic regime of King Salman assiduously continues to smother any attempt by young Saudis toward real democracy, prevents religious and ethnic minorities to freely practice their faith and quashes famine activists aspiring to seat behind the wheel, but none of these major social dilemmas are more ominous and urgent than horrific news which comes from Saudi prisons where legions of political dissident are being tortured for undermining their dictator king.
