Saudi Arabia's religious police have arrested 10 "emo" women for allegedly causing a disturbance in a coffee shop, Al-Yaum newspaper reported on Saturday.

The coffee shop owner in the eastern city of Dammam called the Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice to complain fter the young women, dressed and made up in the "emo" fashion, apparently began disturbing other clients.

The religious police then called their parents to come and collect the women, and to sign pledges that the girls would not repeat their ostensibly offensive un-Islamic behaviour and dress.

According to recent reports, growing numbers of urban young Saudi women are latching on to the emo fashion popular from Japan to Europe and the Americas.

The trend is characterised by wearing skinny black jeans, tennis shoes, colourful T-shirts bearing the names of emo bands, heavy make up and sharply chopped and sometimes radically coloured hair-dos.

While Saudi women normally must appear in public shrouded by all-black abayas and headscarves, some daringly open their abayas in places such as malls and coffee shops to reveal more trendy outfits underneath.

Maybe George W. Bush could put in a word for these progressive Saudi ladies. He must be on very good terms with Saudi royalty, since he was videoed and photographed holding hands with a Saudi potentate a few years back as they walked about Bush's diggin's in Texas. From such an affectionate relationship, Bush ought to be able to influence the Saudis toward a more tolerant attitude on such things as responsible treatment of women. Woops, I forgot! Bush isn't and never was interested in doing anything for Saudi women. His affections for Saudi Arabia are centered solely on O I L!!
