The Religious Policeman
''The Religious Policeman'' was a weblog written by an anonymous blogger describing himself as a Saudi Arabian man, and writing under the pseudonym of ''Alhamedi Alanezi''. The name of the site is a deliberate reference to the Saudi religious policing (Muttawa or Mutaween) organisation called the Committee for the Propagation of Virtue and the Prevention of Vice. Whilst the blog does feature the Mutaween to great extent, it also concerns itself with the wider subjects of the Saudi Arabian Government's activities, and human rights (or lack of) within that country. Overall, its style is critical and satirical.
The author suspended publication of the blog at various times, claiming reasons of personal safety within that country, and the need to maintain anonymity. The last entry was in 2006, when the author announced that he was planning to write a book. In spite of this, the blog continues to attract a stream of visitors.
==History==
Alhamedi started blogging from Riyadh in March 2004, dedicating his blog to the memory of, so he said, ''"the lives of 15 Makkah Schoolgirls, lost when their school burnt down on Monday, 11 March 2002. The Religious Police would not allow them to leave the building, nor allow the Firemen to enter."''〔http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/middle_east/1874471.stm Saudi police 'stopped' fire rescue〕 He soon became known for his scathing satirical attacks on the Saudi government and the fundamentalist Wahhabi school which governs all aspects of Saudi society.
In August 2004, Alhamedi announced that he would not be blogging for some time for reasons he did not wish to elaborate on, leading many readers to become concerned that he had been discovered by the Saudi authorities. After a year of silence he reappeared, stating that he moved to London, UK, from where he continued to post regularly until announcing in June 2006 that he was retiring from blogging in order to write a book.〔http://muttawa.blogspot.com/2006/06/khalas.html 'Khalas'〕 Whilst there have been no further entries since then, it still remains a focus of interest, attracting hundreds of visitors each day.
