I just provided two links regarding their current activities. And yet, here you are just bullshitting away.They aren't that rare. I don't consider you to be an expert.Yes. They are the mutaween.I don't care. It's not a question of liking or not liking them. This isn't first grade.I don't have a problem with Saudi Arabia. I am against the entire notion of let's destroy Saudi Arabia. I can do that. I'm in the US. But, be honest about the religion. We don't get to pretend that the CPVPV is a stand up group even if they are trying to take a "more gentle approach". Purchasing the abayas in more colors with decorative details is not showcasing it. You know damn well that they get on the plane and go to the bathroom and change clothes. Wahhabism is stringent, ultra conservative branch of Islam.
I lived around them for many years.. They are conservative and family oriented. They do change into Western clothes when they fly out of Arabia.. but, I have NEVER worn an abaya in country. I tried it once and damn near broke my neck.. I like them.. I find them to be kind, hospitable and helpful. I have no idea what CPVPV is.....
The CPVPV are the religious police. It stands for the Committee for the Promotion of Virtue and the Prevention of Vice, They haven't been able to make an arrest since 2016 but as it turns out they don't have to.

CPVPV are the mutaween AKA the pests.
The mutaween are rare in the Eastern Province and Jeddah. They are banned in Jubail and Yanbu. In all the years I was there and all my visits, I have never seen one.
I read there are around 3400 of them. Have you seen many of them?
I few years back they kept getting thrown out of International Book Fairs.. to the utter delight of the Saudis.
