Saudi women who want to drive are whores!

Saudi men are IDIOTS! Ok, i know, generalizations are bad and all, but when i read about something like that, it just makes my blood boil. All he was asking, says Mohammad al-Zulfa, was that his fellow legislators think — just think — about studying the possibility of allowing women — not all of them, just some — to drive. Allow some women to drive? WHAT? Blasphemer Infidel PIG. You shall face the wrath of Allah, and if not him, then the wrath of those sexist chauvinists amongst us, who like to use Allah as an excuse to do some messed up shit. There have been calls to kick al-Zulfa off the Consultative Council, the all-male legislative arm appointed by the king, and even to strip him of Saudi citizenship. His cell phone constantly rings with furious calls accusing him of encouraging women to commit the double sins of discarding their veils and mixing with men. A phone text message prays Allah will freeze his blood. Chat rooms bristle with accusations that al-Zulfa is "driven by carnal instincts." Ohh, and your laws aren't? LOL Ok, so how does that work again? How will driving cause the moral decay of women? If you think they have no argument, you are wrong! Ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce you to Wahabbi logic: Conservatives, who believe women should be shielded from strange men, say women in the driver's seat will be free to leave home alone and go when and where they please; to unduly expose their eyes while driving; to interact with strange men such as traffic cops and mechanics. Ok, so let me get this straight, you don't want them to interact with strange men, so you forbid them to drive, and you force them to hire drivers to drive them around , yet them interacting with the hired drivers-who are also strange men mind you- is ok? Your logic is impeccable! Really! And you know, i always thought that Nadz list of 10 top reasons why saudi women can't vote, albeit funny, a little too hrash on the saudis. That is until i read this argument presented by a man who opposes allowing women to drive: "Driving by women leads to evil," Munir al-Shahrani wrote in a letter to the Al-Watan daily. "Can you imagine what it would be like if her car broke down? She would have to seek help from men." He is right, and you know how that ends up: Woman asks help from strange man, man fixes the car and then he has sex with her and her sister on the hood of the car. And I should know, this happens to me at least 2- 3 times a day. Sometimes i think Saudi men mistake porn movies for human interaction instructional videos. I mean, judging by arguments they present, they sure have porn movie logic. Makes you wonder if the same applies to the women, cause in that case i am so applying for a Pizza delivery man job in Saudi : They get laid all the time in pornos.

good way to expose the subject , but you just exposed that you watched ahem 'porn' too yabni bilra7a wa7da wa7da...oops ...
anyway i never understood the logic about not driving a car..if the woman is gonna have an affair with themechanic she might as well have it with driver ..so much easier: he's available and there all the time , no one will suspect :)

Even bad laws, social customs and traditions have their vested interests. If women are allowed to drive, think of the tens of thousands of hapless drivers that will be out of work. :o

so, i was too harsh on saudi men, eh? hehehe

seriously, every saudi woman has a driver anyway, who could easily drive her around on her adultery sprees. because that's what we do, it seems. gotta love that wahabbi logic...

Nadz, u should see the kind of parties they have inside. the best thing about the burkas are the slutty outfits that the girls wear underneath and u get to see when they come over and party.

He was actually named after the porn movie. The movie itself has a pretty funny concept: it's about this woman who has... ehhhh...... inappropriate..nevermind!
