Being handsome is considered a mistake in Saudi Arabia

If being handsome is the dream of most men around the world, in Saudi Arabia, it's a 'crime'.

In the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, same-sex relations will never happen because any attractive man will be immediately deported to avoid stimulating the sexual instincts of the local people.

The monks in the Islamic country seem to be haunted by handsome men. Egyptian monk Abu Islam Ahmed Abdallah suggested that Egypt's famous comedian Bassem Youssef should use a veil like women because he is too handsome. And the famous Jon Stewart of Egypt responded on his Twitter.

Currently, regional police in the Arab world have collectively enforced a campaign to deport excessively handsome and attractive men. According to Elaph, at a festival in the capital Riyadh last Sunday, 3 young Arab men were expelled by the police just because... they were too handsome. Members of the Training and Anti-degradation Ethics Committee fear that female festival attendees will be captivated by these 3 handsome men. According to sources, the festival organizers urgently 'exiled' these 3 charming men to the city of Abu Dhabi.

In a video released in the Saudi newspaper last week, images of British bodyguards expelling a police officer from the Training and Anti-degradation Ethics Committee appeared, causing the officer to rush into a festival booth. According to reports from the Arab side, because the British bodyguards seemed mesmerized by the presence of an Arab female artist in the booth, the Arab police officer had to intervene. This incident sparked controversy in the UK afterward.

With this absurd decree, the only solution for these young men is perhaps to wear 'men's burkha.' It's a type of jacket with a hood that can cover the entire face with only two openings for the eyes. In recent weeks, the sales of men's burkhas have been booming, especially for young men.

Indeed, is being handsome also a 'crime'?
