Not sure what is so 'islamic' about that...the next step in that twisted logic is that when women needs doctors, they cant see male doctors, and well since there are no women doctors, the women should just die and stuff..

Re: Facebook campaign launched threatening to WHIP Saudi female drivers

I never said that I don’t like Arab News as a newspaper. :confused: It’s just that over time I’ve found the views of some of its readers so infuriating that I’ve started to avoid visiting the website altogether. Now I only visit the site occasionally.

There were plenty of Qadri supporters amongst the Arab News reader base :hinna:

I remember seeing some of the comments from the Express Tribune readers in support of Qadri too :confused: I suppose all online versions of newspapers have comments sections rife with vitriol and ignorance. Some newspapers more than others though.

What’s the exact name for this Facebook group? Is the name in Arabic? I can’t seem to find the page.

Saudi or Javed Bahi?

Re: Facebook campaign launched threatening to WHIP Saudi female drivers

I am aware of that sad reality bro

Re: Facebook campaign launched threatening to WHIP Saudi female drivers

I don't get this. It's not like the Arabs are the most conservative people out there. How is allowing their women to sit in a chauffeured car with a non-mehram driver better than them driving themselves alone?

Re: Facebook campaign launched threatening to WHIP Saudi female drivers

ohhh this point has been argued to death in my family - conclusion was= if you don't like the laws, don't live in that country :D

Re: Facebook campaign launched threatening to WHIP Saudi female drivers

But it's not like the average Saudi woman can just get up and leave the country.. Needing to drive for a woman can sometimes be a necessity, not just a choice..

Re: Facebook campaign launched threatening to WHIP Saudi female drivers

can women use public transport?? if there is any

31

Re: Facebook campaign launched threatening to WHIP Saudi female drivers

There is no public transport. Women have their fathers, brothers or sons drive for them [if their fathers, brothers, or sons are available and not at work or school]. Or they hire male drivers who drive them around wherever they need to go.

Re: Facebook campaign launched threatening to WHIP Saudi female drivers

thats sad.....so those who don't have brothers around they need to hire a driver?? thats Bull****...

33

Re: Facebook campaign launched threatening to WHIP Saudi female drivers

^Yeah.. or like marmalade said if their brothers or dads or sons are too busy with their own lives (or can't be bothered)..

Re: Facebook campaign launched threatening to WHIP Saudi female drivers

cant women just put on a fake moustache and that round thingy on head and drive??

Re: Facebook campaign launched threatening to WHIP Saudi female drivers

Any nut job can start a facebook campaign. I saw one the other day that asked you to join if you liked the smell of farts,

Re: Facebook campaign launched threatening to WHIP Saudi female drivers

They take taxis which is the main public transport system there.

37

Re: Facebook campaign launched threatening to WHIP Saudi female drivers

How do they fit kitchens in their cars?

Lol joking. Yeah that's messed. I think it would be interesting to see how Saudi society evolved (or devolved) to where it currently is.

Re: Facebook campaign launched threatening to WHIP Saudi female drivers

it is not against Saudi Law for Women to ride Camels and Horses or even riding Donkays....:)

They can easily stop all traffic by riding a few Donkays that are as stubborn as ones they have at home...:D

Re: Facebook campaign launched threatening to WHIP Saudi female drivers

That's what I'm trying to say , how is it okay to ride with a non-mehram taxi driver/chauffeur as opposed to driving by yourself? It doesn't make sense. Saudis are such knuckleheads.

Lol@ obama.

Re: Facebook campaign launched threatening to WHIP Saudi female drivers
