Smooth Operators?

(Fox News) - Fifty-seven men have been arrested in Saudi Arabia for flirting with women in front of shopping centers in the holy city of Mecca. Media reports say the men are also accused of dancing to pop music blaring from their cars and wearing improper clothing.

The country's religious police often target young people accused of not adhering to a strict Islamic lifestyle. People who know some of those arrested say the young men were just having fun and were not violating laws governing the segregation of the sexes.
