Did these women forget which country they lived in?

Via Daily Mail:

Religious police in Saudi Arabia has banned a beauty pageant in the holy city of Mecca, claiming it violates Sharia law.

The female organisers of the four-day pageant, called Miss Makkah, are now under investigation after the local vice police received several complaints.

The women had allegedly booked and paid for a banquet hall in Mecca, but authorities ordered them to cancel the pageant.

Miss Makkah had been advertised on social media and leaflets distributed locally, inviting ‘women of any colour aged between 17 and 27 years’ to take part and compete for ’valuable gifts’.

The Commission for the Prevention of Vice and Promotion of Virtue, known as Haia, banned the pageant and have reported the women to the local governate, The Saudi Gazette reports.
