'End of virginity' if women drive, Saudi cleric warns - Polidicks

[url]http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-16011926[/url] [QUOTE][B]A report in Saudi Arabia has warned that if Saudi women were given the right to drive, it would spell the end of virginity in the country.[/B] The report was prepared for Saudi Arabia's legislative assembly, the Shura Council, by a well-known conservative academic. Though there is no formal ban on women driving in Saudi Arabia, if they get behind the wheel, they can be arrested. Saudi women have mounted several campaigns to try to overturn the ban. Aside from the practical difficulties it creates, they say it is also illogical as in trying to keep them under family control and away from men, it actually puts them in daily contact with a male driver. The issue has received huge international attention. Some Saudi women feel it has attracted too much interest, obscuring other equally important issues. As part of his careful reform process, King Abdullah has allowed suggestions to surface that the ban might be reviewed. This has angered the conservative religious elite - a key power base for any Saudi ruler. Now, one of their number - well-known academic Kamal Subhi - has presented a new report to the country's legislative assembly, the Shura. The aim was to get it to drop plans to reconsider the ban. The report contains graphic warnings that letting women drive would increase prostitution, pornography, homosexuality and divorce. A Saudi woman who has campaigned for women drivers told the BBC that the report was completely mad. She said the head of the Shura had assured women campaigners that he was still open to hearing the case for lifting the ban. [/QUOTE] What. The. Fuck. So apparently driving now makes you a whore in Saudi Arabia.

Jokes about Facepunchers rejoicing.

[QUOTE=valkery;33544375]What. The. Fuck. So apparently driving now makes you a whore in Saudi Arabia.[/QUOTE] Saudi Arabia is the greatest time capsule man has ever had. It's a microcosm of Monarchy, Misogyny, Theocracy, AND extremism! It's really a great historical artifact.

shit is so backwards over there

Think, when you touched that turn signal, you touched every person that touched that turn signal! Then you're gay.

Manual transmission cars are clearly just covert methods of corrupting the youth into masturbation.

If this doesn't echo the arguments against gay marriage then nothing does.

In other news: Nerds are getting sex changes and moving to Saudi Arabia.

How is it even POSSIBLE for anything to be so damn backwards? I get the distinct feeling Saudi women are the only sensible demographic left over there...

You can't trust those Saudi women. Turn your back and they'll be losing their virginity to the gear stick. I've seen it happen many a time.

Its kinda funny, western countries say places in the middle east are backwards and should grant everyone rights and the typical "yad yad yad democracy" speech. But as a nation we ban homosexuals from gaining benefits, rights, and the right to get married. If anything we're just as backwards as them when it comes to certain things. Yeah these places are terrible when it comes to human and civil rights. We're not as fucked up and backwards as them, but we still do have a lot of irrational fear and react terribly because of these fears.

Anyone who actually believes this shit needs to have their 'brains' extracted and studied for the sake of science. Because it should be physically impossible to be that dumb. [QUOTE=Charlievrw;33544468]In other news: Nerds are getting sex changes and moving to Saudi Arabia.[/QUOTE] This post makes as much sense as the article in question. That is, none whatsoever.

I can understand the logic "Driving will become more feminine like in america" but that logic itself is as stupid as drinking sour milk to save money when you could afford a boatload.

[QUOTE=J!NX;33544993]I can understand the logic "Driving will become more feminine like in america" [/QUOTE] really????

women cant drive anyway

These guys are banning the right thing for the wrong reasons: should've just chalked it up as "for the safety of the general public" and everyone would agree

[QUOTE=CakeMaster7;33545156]These guys are banning the right thing for the wrong reasons: should've just chalked it up as "for the safety of the general public" and everyone would agree[/QUOTE] better not tell them men crash more in america than women do...

'I'm a fucking idiot', Saudi cleric warns
