Birds do it .. Bees do it ..Its Valentine's in the Kingdom again!
A Saudi man could face a death sentence in the Muslim kingdom for speaking about his sexual adventures on a talk show aired by a Lebanon-based television network, lawyers said on Saturday.
The case could further fortify the role of clerics who have been policing an already conservative society to safeguard moral values set according to the Wahhabi school of Islam which bars interaction between unrelated men and women.
The police arrested Mazen Abdul-Jawad, 32, on Friday for "publicizing vice," a police spokesman in Jeddah said. Lawyers said Abdul-Jawad could face a death sentence or a 20-year jail sentence. The Saudi justice system is controlled by clerics and is inspired by an austere school of Islam.
