@al-Hasani btw the same day this came out a Saudi taxi tried to kidnap rape and steal money from an Indian teacher in aljouf but thank god he was caught in a check point. Don't help spread such things about your Saudi brothers especially when it's brought out of context.
Women being raped is one of the worst crimes on earth. But when it happens in Saudi I think you know that the affect is 100 times worse. We don't have the psychological help centres for such cases. Or let me be more accurate a victim in Saudi won't find the support needed like a victim in the US. I know this as fact cuz I'm Saudi and iv been going to the states since I was a kid. And that's another thing he meant.
Brother, don't tell me that you support this ban? Women are allowed to drive in all other countries in the world. Including ALL other Arab countries.
Countries with 100 times worse road infrastructure, less road safety (not that the situation in KSA is great on this front), much, much bigger crime rates allow women to drive. Those cannot be valid excuses.
Actually such centers do exist from my knowledge and psychiatrists and psychologists within the country can also deal with rape victims. It's just that this is an enormous stigma but that's the same in every other Arab and Muslim country and dare I say every other country of the world.
Firstly I am against this law because it has no basis in Islam. Women during the time of Prophet Muhammad (saws) road horses and camels. In Pre-Islamic times Arabia even had Queens as rulers. The most famous ancient queen in the world arguably being Queen of Sheba.
Secondly it creates a very bad exposure for the country and people. People will judge all other laws in KSA (despite there being very good laws, despite KSA being a well-functioning welfare state etc.) based on this sole law.
Thirdly it's a huge economic burden for families.
Fourthly it limits the movement of women and limits them from being more independent.
Fifhtly there is no proof whatsoever that rapes would suddenly increase (not that they are high to begin with) just because women would have a right to drive.
I am sorry but nobody has succeeded in convincing me that this law is a correct one. I dislike it very much.
@al-Hasani any back to topic. Remember RAND report again
Is it worth being on CNN ?!
If he was philipino priest do you think it will be on CNN ?

Of course not but we know that KSA is a obsession of many.
