Single men are root of all evil?

In some places in the world, single men can be very dangerous. They try stupid stunts

A popular stunt among young drivers is "sidewall skiing," which entails driving on the two side wheels of the car only. To make the experience even more extreme, the driver may high-five a spectator on the curb, passengers ride outside the vehicle, barely hanging on to the windows or the chassis, and other thrill-seekers lie on the road as the car passes over them.

They join murderous cult like ISIS so they can purchase wives and slaves on black markets.

Via a translator, the man says he has been in contact with a broker—a middleman used as a go-between from ISIS to grieving Yazidi families—who for a high fee will return his children after they were taken and sold as slaves among the jihadis just over a year ago in the ISIS blitz of northern Iraq.

Muslim girls and women have to guard themselves from constant abuse and harassment by covering themselves from top to bottom, left to right. Covering doesn't really help or guard women against those who have a very low opinion of the female gender.
One member of a gang of youngsters who harassed two young women as they took a stroll along the corniche in the Red Sea port city of Jeddah has been arrested. The arrested individual gave out the names of some members of the group of adolescents who followed the two girls, one of whom was fully veiled and the other with only the upper half of her face showing, Saudi news site Sabq reported on Monday. The two women pleaded with the raucous teenagers to leave them alone, but their pleas seemed to fall on deaf ears. [3]

Enough is enough! Women should not be punish for the weakness of men. Qatar is doing something about this.

"No bachelors," the guard said. The newly-renovated park - its boating lake, miniature golf course and neatly manicured lawns - was off-limits to men unaccompanied by women or children, the guard said. "It's for families only." So-called "bachelor bans" that bar lone men from entering malls and parks on certain days of the week and from living in residential neighborhoods are a common, often loosely-enforced, practice in the conservative Muslim Gulf. Local authorities say the measure, enforced by businesses and municipalities, allows families and women who live in crowded and male-dominated cities space to enjoy public facilities.

Qatar's population stands at 2.6 million, 75 percent of whom are male, according to the country's ministry of planning. No one knows exactly how many Qatari citizens there are as the government refuses to release a total but estimates say there are between 200,000 to 250,000. "Bachelor workers are eroding the privacy and comfort of families," Rashed Al Fadeh, a Qatari journalist, wrote in a column for local Arabic-language daily al-Sharq last year, saying workers overrunning neighborhoods was damaging Qatar’s social fabric.

"Going shopping without being stared at, enjoying a park not crowded with men who may look at women and not respect traditions. Qatari families have the right to do these simple things," said Mohannadi. "Today if you go to Al Khor on the weekend you may not see one person wearing traditional dress, no Qataris ... You can feel like a stranger there now." Authorities have in recent months taken steps to further separate workers from locals: ministry of interior maps which highlight in stark green and yellow Doha’s “no-go” housing zones for migrant workers were plastered last month on billboards across the capital. In December, construction workers were turned away from a parade event along Doha's corniche marking Qatar’s national day celebrations.


after reading this article in its entirety, I'm thinking that the banning of the single men is applicable only to non-Qatari migrant workers and not to their own first-class citizen.
