Muslim Girls Gone Wild In Kuwait- 3 Women Arrested For Being Naked Under Abaya

Shove young women under an abaya (Muslim cloak) and veil, force gender segregation and other restrictions on them and they're bound to rebel.

In a case of Muslim girls gone wild, two young women and a minor were arrested at a cafe in a shopping mall in Kuwait after a little boy spied one of the women buck naked under her long cloak. What the little boy was doing peeking under the woman's abaya is anyone's guess, but little boy tells mum, outraged mum obviously calls the police, and it turns out all three had not a stitch of clothing on underneath.

But walking around naked in a Kuwaiti mall isn't the only thing those naughty girls were guilty of. Apparently they told police they had also been drinking alcohol and getting it on the night before. Not a  good thing to admit to in a Muslim country. And they certainly didn't make it easy for the police- one girl refused to leave, giving the customers a little peep show before they were hauled off.  No-one knows what they will be charged with, yet. But according to Marwa Tarek, a Kuwaiti activist, if they are found guilty of being gay the punishment could be severe.

“The crime and penalty for being gay is not a nice one here and they could be facing years in prison if the accusations they had consensual sex are proven true,” she said.

Not quite accusations since they were the ones to admit to the sexual activity, if they were indeed telling the truth.  I don't know why they would admit to drinking and having gay sex in a religious culture that forbids both, but at least they're not in Iran.  There, they would be hanged.

Only one woman was local, while the other two were from undisclosed Gulf countries with a father who was "too busy with" his "business" to go to Kuwait to deal with his errant kids.

It's all rather amusing, if it weren't for the potential consequences of their actions.

Can't imagine the state telling me who I'm allowed to have sex with, what clothing I must wear, etc. I find it difficult to believe they'd have admitted drinking and having sex cos the penalty is so severe...they do use torture in those Islamic hellholes to extract confessions, so I wouldn't be surprised if they were coerced under extreme duress to make those confessions.

Well, they were naked under their abayas, and young, which gives me the impression they were just rebelling. but could be. Iran loves to force confessions. who knows. but the whole story is bizarre, from the kid peeking under the dress to the nakedness to the confession.

There is a lot of lesbianism in Muslim boarding schools, because of the lack of gender mixing.

Ha... very true. :-) Somehow I don't think they see it that way.

Interestingly, it seems that abayas are not in fact clothing, but rather something to hide women's clothing, otherwise why worry what's underneath. So when Muslim women say they like wearing hijab, even they misunderstand the true purpose, that it's not something they wear but something they hide under.

BTW, I sent a hat tip your way from my article, Muslim Girls Gone Wild - Naked Under Abaya

Hey Bernie,

Technically speaking it is clothing,at least in the Western sense- just as an overcoat is considered clothing, even though it has religious significance. :-)
Thanks for the H/T. Off to check it out.
