Saudis to teach human rights to religious police

ABU DHABI -- Saudi Arabia is providing training for its controversial religious police on how to relate with diplomats and non-Muslims.spit take.jpg

Officials said the Saudi Foreign Ministry would sponsor a course for the 10,000 religious police, who have been accused of brutality in efforts to enforce Islamic law. They said the Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice would undergo training by the ministry's Institute of Diplomatic Studies in April.

This was not the first attempt to train religious police officers, who have consistently overstepped their authority. In 2007, the Saudi government announced a series of programs that also were to teach officers human rights and ensure coordination with the Interior Ministry.

Lesson Three: Balancing out - delaying Sharia enforcement for when the eyes of the world are directed elsewhere.
