At least if he had Bikini Babes at his carwash he might have died a happy man
RIYADH (AFP) - A Bangladeshi man died of fright after being arrested by Saudi Arabia’s controversial religious police for washing a car instead of praying, a local newspaper reported on Sunday.
The unnamed man died last week in the holy city of Medina after being detained by members of the Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice, Al-Jazirah reported.
The Arabic daily said the man “convulsed in fear after he was arrested, leading to a drop in his blood pressure and causing his death.”
The man was arrested by members of the commission, commonly known as the Muttawa, for washing a car during a time of day when he should have been at prayer, the paper said.

...and I thought American Vice Cops were good at upholding the Morality of the Land. This reads as though out of some Monty Python sketch.
The best source for tragicomedy tends to come straight out of reality.
You could easily see this as a Monty Python sketch, with Mutullah replacing Spanish Inquisition.... except that the poor bugger is really dead.
...except that the poor bugger is really dead.
Under Islamic Law, individual life is just an act on stage, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing, under the absurdity and hegemony of theocratic rule.
