What's so wrong about the idea of women driving, @shaarona (http://thepoliticalforums.com/member.php?u=434)?

Nothing. .. and women in rural areas have been driving for decades.

The no driving thing is not law.. its the way KSA evolved..

KSA has one of the highest accident rates in the world.. They have some other problems to solve.

The new MEED system may solve that problem.

"No Woman No Drive" sure sounds like it's against women drivers. As for all this other stuff I'm not from where you are so I have no idea what you're talking about. Just wanted you to know there's nothing wrong with women drivers, I know that's a big part of muslim culture.

Rape victim’s lashes INCREASED – because her lawyer publicised her barbaric sentence (http://freethinker.co.uk/2013/09/27/rape-victims-lashes-increased-because-her-lawyer-publicised-her-barbaric-sentence/)By Barry Duke (http://freethinker.co.uk/author/barry-duke/)

SAUDI lawyer Abd al-Rahman al-Lahim had the temerity to draw the world’s attention to the fact that a court had sentenced a 19-year-old rape victim to 90 lashes.
The resultant publicity so enraged the Saudi judiciary it has INCREASED the sentence imposed on the young woman to 200 lashes, plus six months in jail. (http://www.clarionproject.org/news/saudi-arabia-defends-barabric-sentence-given-rape-victim#)
And the court punished al-Lahem too – banning him from further defending the woman, confiscating his license and summoning him to a disciplinary hearing later this month.

I think you are confused... When a woman is raped she is NOT charged... unless she was out with a group of men.

Rape is a capital offense.

You're the only person who is confused. Even if she was out naked with 100 men she shouldn't be charged. Why you making excuses? Sad, sad.

While in a car with the student, two men got into the vehicle and drove them to a secluded area. She said she was raped there by seven men, three of whom also attacked her friend.

Her punishment was thrown out...

These websites NEVER follow up..

The Qatif rape case (Arabic (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arabic_language): قضية اغتصاب فتاة القطيف‎) is a much-publicized gang rape (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gang_rape) case. The victim was a teenage girl from Qatif (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qatif) (Eastern Province (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eastern_Province,_Saudi_Arabia), Saudi Arabia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saudi_Arabia)), who, along with her male companion, was kidnapped and gang-raped by seven Saudi men in mid-2006. A Saudi Sharia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sharia) court sentenced the perpetrators to varying sentences involving 80 to 1,000 lashes and imprisonment up to ten years for four of them.

The court also sentenced the two victims to six months in prison and 90 lashes each for "being alone with a man who is not a relative" in a parked car. The appeals court doubled the victims' sentences in late 2007 as punishment for the heavy media coverage of the event in the international press regarding the treatment of women in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and Saudi judicial practices.

In December 2007 the Saudi King (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_of_Saudi_Arabia) Abdullah (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abdullah_of_Saudi_Arabia) issued an official pardon for the two victims, citing his ultimate authority to revise "discretionary" punishments in accordance with the public good, although the pardon did not reflect any lack of confidence in the Saudi justice system or in the fairness of the verdicts.

The punishment wasn't changed or thrown out, she was pardoned by the King after international pressure was put on her case. The law is the same. You said so yourself that the rape victim is only punished if she is around men or some shit. The rape victim should never be punished. Rape is a punishment.

Why you being an apologist for cruelty? Did you think it was ok that there were Jim Crow laws since not every store abided by them?

Exactly.. You do know that most law in KSA is not codified.

In KSA women don't go out at night with men who are not family.. This girl ... the Qatif Girl was apparently blackmailed into going out with this young man....

What you will find in the western websites.. is that they NEVER follow up on the story.. They prefer sensationalism.

Follow up story? That she was pardoned? Dude, she should have never been condemned to begin with!

Again why do you ignore that the sentenced the rape victim to 200 lashes and focus on the pardon. From your own link


In a special report, the Lebanese Broadcasting Corporation (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lebanese_Broadcasting_Corporation) channel covered the case in a show widely anticipated by many Saudi audiences.[14] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qatif_girl_rape_case#cite_note-14) The show aired a live debate between al-Lahem and Ministry of Justice consultant and former judge Abdul-Mohsen Al-Obaikan.[15] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qatif_girl_rape_case#cite_note-15) The victim’s husband participated via phone. The husband defended his wife in a surprising showing of open-mindedness for a man from this part of the world, where rape victims and their families are almost always silent. He explained: "I'm not lacking in manhood or an Arab man's honor for defending a so-called 'cheating wife'," then added, "I feel that in this catastrophe she exercised bad judgment by meeting this man, but how can you [Al-Obaikan] or anyone say she committed adultery?"[16] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qatif_girl_rape_case#cite_note-16) In other interviews he showed further support of his wife and said that "she shocked him when she insisted on pursuing justice although she is facing a harsh penalty." He also expressed his worries over her deteriorating physical and mental health.By late November 2007, she was under effective house arrest and forbidden to speak at the risk of being taken into custody at any time. Her family's movements were being monitored by the religious police and their telephones were tapped.[17] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qatif_girl_rape_case#cite_note-17)
Royal pardon[edit (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Qatif_rape_case&action=edit&section=7)]On December 17, 2007, Saudi newspapers reported that King Abdullah (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abdullah_of_Saudi_Arabia) had issued a pardon for the girl, citing his ultimate authority as monarch (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monarch) to overrule "discretionary" punishments (punishments not expressly prescribed by Islamic legal canon) in accordance with the public good. However, he maintained that the pardon did not reflect any lack of confidence in the Saudi justice system or the initial verdicts, and in fact the King trusted "that the verdicts are just and fair."[18] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qatif_girl_rape_case#cite_note-18)
Although the pardon was good news for the girl from Qatif, human rights activists voiced concern that it was not a practical solution to the problem, as "the pardon means that she did something wrong and was kindly pardoned later." They called for reform of the law and clear legislation that differentiates between rape and adultery, as there are many similar cases which do not receive such international exposure and not every victim will get a royal pardon afterward.[19] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qatif_girl_rape_case#cite_note-19)


You are being an apologist for cruelty. Other Muslim nations condemned her and her family's treatment. The US Department of State which has a huge boner for the Saudi's condemned it.

They are very rich and cultured you mean. Civilization includes not punishing victims or having levels of citizenship.

I don't care if they every change. I don't care about Russia's anti-gay laws either. I just believing in speaking truth at all times. They can change or not change. I don't live there and I'm not a citizen.
