What Happens in Mecca, Stays in Mecca

(Mecca, Saudi Arabia) In the holy city of Mecca, also called Makkah, where God's message was revealed to the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), a tipster led members of the Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and the Prevention of Vice to a drunk drug dealer's house where they found more than three pounds of hashish, five bottles of alcohol, SR7,530 ($2,000) of drug money and plenty of porn.

Commission members arrested a woman, thought to be a prostitute, at the man's home. "Following investigations, we learned that the man has been dealing in drugs for quite some time. He has been operating with a Pakistani man and a local Saudi man. The three have been handed over to the Anti-Drugs Department for further questioning," said the commission member.

In a separate incident, commission members raided two brothels in the city and arrested a number of expatriate prostitutes and their Pakistani pimps. "The commission received a tip-off that there are two brothels operating in the Al-Haj Street and Al-Mansour Street. The pimps running the brothels were all Pakistanis. They would provide the women with accommodation to sell themselves," said the commission spokesman.

"The women would charge SR200 for a short time with them. For an entire night they would charge SR500 to SR600. A commission member asked a Pakistani pimp to arrange a date for him. He told him to arrive at a certain place at a certain time. Commission members raided the location and found a number of drunken men, alcohol and prostitutes. The pimps and prostitutes were all arrested and have been transferred to the police for further questioning," said the commission member.

Meanwhile, religion of peace experts are conducting a new training program to teach members of the Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and the Prevention of Vice how to better promote virtue and prevent vice.

Yearly, millions of pilgrims travel to the holy city of Mecca and each follower of the religion of peace is obligated to face the city during his/her five daily prayer sessions. It's also known to be a city of many secrets. However, based upon the above article, it's no secret that whores, alcohol and drugs are available. If the city fathers legalized gambling, it might possibly become similar to Las Vegas, another city with millions of visitors along with whores, alcohol and drugs.
