Actually they have an unhealthy fear of fitnah … as if the Muslims are just waiting to be given the chance to fornicate with other … the government are out of touch … Or perhaps they are not.

Perhaps they cast their own practices on the public and believe they will do the same thing … the fact in Saudi it might even probably be true …

They have starved the society from inner Islam and as a result I believe the society has become quite starved… almost desperate … another aspect is one of SunTzu who said “don’t give you people too many luxuries for it will make them lazy and arrogant” - it will also make them slaves of their own desires. Giving too much comfort to the Saudi national but at the same enforcing strong codes on appearance and clothing can lead to a septic cesspool of people gagging for release.

Pretty much the reasoning I’ve heard is that they worry that driving women will bring ‘fitna’ to their society and women will run away from their homes and drive around with boyfriends. The women will become corrupted and leave their homes to indulge in extramarital relations.

They’d rather have young children driving than adult females.
