England fans in for another 2 weeks of the shakes

Eagerly anticipating news stories about the dozens of alcoholic Europeans and Americans who are going to be thrown in Saudi prison or flogged for trying to smuggle booze into the country.

I foresee at least like a hundred people catching the novel saudi arabia football fever which is characterized by excessive sweating, unrest and sometimes the shakes.

Theyre doing a cultural genocide of the england fans

Wasn't Neom supposed to allow alcohol to foreigners? Surely the megacity of the future will be built by 2034 and be full of football stadiums capable of handling the world cup

Should be common sense in a place like Saudi Arabia

[–] [email protected] 19 points 5 days ago (1 children)

It depends, in general under Islamic laws a state governed by sharia is not necessarily supposed to ban practices permissible to people of the book in their own scripture. That's why things like pork and alcohol are available to Christian and Jewish minorities in Iran for example.

Saudis however are doing this because culture war and as power play especially after 2022 world cup in Qatar, for a lot of Muslims the religion revolves around consumption of foodstuffs and existence of LGBTQ.
