A reader responds to that Reuters piece on Valentine’s day in Saudi Arabia:

[Quoting Reuters:]“Florists say the move is part of an annual campaign by the committee — whose members are known as ‘mutawwaeen’ or volunteers “
The muttawah are more than just “volunteers” they are the religious police and are the scourge of the Magic Kingdom. They walk around with sticks in hand striking at women who aren’t fully covered, or making sure folks close their shops at prayer times.
in my time in the kingdom I never heard them referred to as a “mutawwaeen”
typical Reuters disinformation.
