“I swear to God, any woman whose car breaks down – will burn her and her car,” the man said in video shared on social media, Reuters reports.

Citing police sources and local media, Reuters reports that the man was in his 20s and that his arrest had been ordered by the governor of the Eastern Province. It’s unclear what punishment the man will face if found guilty.

Earlier this week, the Saudi King issued a decree ordering the interior minister to draft and adopt necessary amendments to the traffic regulations. The new rules are expected to come into force on June 24, 2018.

After decades of gender segregation, the ruling Saudi monarchy has seemingly relaxed its attitude towards women.

On Saturday, hundreds of women were permitted entry to the King Fahd stadium in the capital, Riyadh. This is normally forbidden due to strict public segregation rules under the Wahhabi brand of Sunni Islam which informs Saudi law.

Earlier in the month, a Saudi cleric was slammed for saying that women don’t deserve to drive because they “only have a quarter of a brain.” Sheikh Saad Al-Hijri was banned from performing his religious duties because of his comments.

Saudis should issue free trips to their men to Dubai under its social welfare scheme, it would take sometime to bring the change.

 

[Imran Khan]

Do you wanna bet?

sorry sir i am out of cash these days

 

[truthseer]

Poor saudi women ...

Feel worse for Irani women being suppressed by a dictatorship and the Kurds being murdered there

They will behead half of Dubai citizens, and the other half will be blown up by their suicide missions.

Allahu Akbar, Dubai is full of apostates!!!!! Booooommmmmmmmm

They're not Iranis, who Trump proved are the sponsors of terror, next to North Korea. Soon your internet will be cut off. Hopefully he attacks tomorrow

Details of the car please.

I have seen people say that when they return home after a bump.

And then you get the stare.

The next day you are repairing it in the sun for 3 hours just because its a man's thing.

[El Sidd]

Leave Trump man. I know little about you, well , with this quote you are more like a Saudi bogus Jihadist. Before everything i feel sorry for your kind, you have sold your soul to Ale-Saud family, never mind.
I ask you mate, Pak women and children, Shia or Sunni, they are all innocent. Nothing to do with politics, so don't blow yourself amongst them. There are no 72 virgins after massacring innocent Pak kids, only some angry angels would welcome you with fire of hell. Think about it and try to save yourself

This is some class A Indian hypocrisy man.

This decision is like a 1979 revolution of Iran in a constitutional way.

The amount of Saudis in full thobes at bars in Bahrain is insane.

They are okay with that, but not women driving

What are you blabbering "genius"?

That was a 25 year old "law" that was put in place by the previous Grand Mufti and influential clerics most of whom are dead now. The vast majority of people have been calling for the removal of this moronic law ever since and the approval of the recent decision exceeds 80% as per recent surveys.

Some teenager or idiot barking on social media is irrelevant here and he has been dealt with.

Now they will give up drinking very fast.

Saudis are marrying less and less. Dangerous trend in Saudi Arabia. Might be a blessing in Pakistan

I think Saudis only drink less than Russians.
Back in Canada you would see them sitting on sidewalk patios with a nice cold Beer.

And I think they went full western, why marry when you can go to Europe or Bahrain for a weekend trip, pocket full of cash of course

You need to take your medicine. Urgently.

There are currently 125.000 + Saudi Arabian students in the US and I am yet to read a single report about drunk Saudi Arabian students or other related unfortunate behavior due to intoxication of whatever kind.

Saudi Arabians, whether students, investors, businessmen or tourists show an exemplary behavior usually. Whether in the GCC, Arab world, West, East or elsewhere.

This is the case when you have one of the most deducted, urbanized and wealthy populations in the developing world as well as law abiding.

@The Eagle

This is a moronic troll thread with some idiot/teenager barking on the internet about something that he will never do, will be able to do nor is there any support for such kind of moronic comments by anyone. He was arrested too immediately which shows the effectiveness of the system.

Meanwhile in the real world (KSA National Day celebrations in the middle of Riyadh last week):

The ignorant idiots as usual are barking about issues that they have no clue about.

KSA is rapidly transforming for the better and at a very quick pace on all fronts which is what is bothering the enemies of KSA and the Arab nation. They want KSA to remain weak and for a few clerical dinosaurs to prevent progress and hold the nation hostage. MbS does not tolerate such nonsense hence the many groundbreaking changes in the past 2 years and much more is to come.

Let them cry.
