Getting some practice in

For their Dhimmitude

For one night, on May 9, the quaint colonial town of Amherst, New Hampshire, was transformed into a Saudi Arabian Bedouin tent community, with the help of 80 seventh-graders at the Amherst Middle School. The weather cooperated, providing 85 degree temperatures to give an authentic Saudi feel to the evening.

More than 250 guests arrived at the open tent and were welcomed with an Arabic greeting of “Marhaba” by students at a Saudi customs desk.

During the check-in, guests selected a traditional Arabic name for their name badge and completed an actual Saudi customs form, which warned in bold letters “Death for Drug Trafficking ” at the top.

Once inside, guests were encouraged to circulate among 14 different stations created by the students.

Only the seventh-grade boys were allowed to host the food stations and the Arabic dancing, as the traditions of Saudi Arabia at this time prevent women from participating in these public roles.

Seventh-grade girls hosted the hijab and veil stations, where other female guests learned how to wear the required head covering and veils. An antique trunk full of black abayas worn by women, and white thobes worn by the men, were available for guests to try on.

LGF has the pics. You’ll notice that the women are eating at a “females only” table, and they’re smiling about it. I wonder how much they enjoyed their forced segregation, because I’m sure that if, on the next school day, boys and girls were forced to eat in seperate areas, more than just a few of the parents would have full-on hissy fits and lawyers would be called.

You’ll also notice in that pic that none of them are wearing their optional “traditional Saudi hijab”. Must be nice to have that option. The women in Saudi Arabia sure can’t option out.

However, I did see something that the teachers clearly forgot to instruct the students to include at their “stations”.

Slave from Africa.
