Saudi Arabian women may soon be driving !

Share:

 

A woman drives a car in Saudi ArabiaSaudi Arabia’s Shura Council, a group of close advisers to King Abdullah, has recommended that the Islamic country relax its prohibition on women drivers. But the change is likely to come with some curious restrictions.

According to a report from the Associated Press, the council suggested women over 30 be allowed to drive during daylight hours — but only so long as they’re not wearing makeup at the time. The women would also need permission from a male relative — say, a husband, father or brother — to do so. Outside of cities, women drivers must be accompanied by a male relative.

Though the council’s recommendation is non-binding, it marks a major shift for Saudi Arabia. Despite a number of protests over the past years, the country has resisted all calls to relax its ban and allow women to drive. The 150-member Shura Council only recently allowed female members, all appointed by the king, and now has 30 women in its ranks.

        so are you going to accuse SA of letting Syria rule Lebanon for 30 plus years and bombarding it to ashes.. come on what about Iranian Generals who always say that South Lebanon is their first line of Defense. shall i go on.. Hezbollah attacked Israel in 2006 and kidnapped and killed soldiers. Israel warned them if they don’t give up the soldiers they will wreak havoc on Lebanon. Nassrallah refused and they did destroy lots of lebanon infstractures and killed over a thousand and many wounded. Nassrallah even admitted have I known the israelis would behave like this i would not have started the whole thing.. give me a break Hind.

          nagy ..why do you put all this on my shoulders?
          Ibn Al Saoud Wahhabism is the most intolerant form of Islam, when he conquered Arabia from moderate Hashemite, the ruler of Mecca for 900 years, he forced him watch while he raped his wife, there’s no cruelty as Wahhabi Islam, ISIS stems from Wahhabism.

          I’m saying since they became Saudi Arabia, they had the ultimate power to decide which country in the Middle East will be destroyed, first they were afraid of Palestinians, because they were the most progressive people in the Middle East in the 1920thies.

          Pierre Gmayel went to study in French at Saint Joseph College in Haifa, it was the only place in the ME where cleavages between Christians and Moslems didn’t exist, this led the fanatic Wahhabi to help Zionist take Palestine, and since, they never let one country in peace they think they OWN the Levant, the planes that destroyed Iraq came from American military bases in Saudi Arabia, Al Qaeda was founded in Saudi Arabia by a Saudi, Ben Laden, Al Nusra, ISIS, are all Al Qaeda affiliates, the Saudis financed jihad from 80 different countries around the World to go fight in Syria.. and now these monsters are on Lebanese borders.

          All the chaos was permitted by one corner of the Middle East, Saudi Arabia (and oil), since WW1.
          There would have been no PLO, no Hezbollah, no Hamas no Al Qaeda, no Al Nusra, no ISIS, without Saudi Arabia.

            Well in the end my friend wahabism, Hezbollah and all extremists need to go. there is no room for them in our society especially if lebanon is ever going to go forward. i am getting tired of all of them. I am not defending Saudi arabia and all I am saying do not forget or ignore what Hezbollah, Syria and Iran have been doing as well. Syria controlled Lebanon for 30 years and still doing it thru its proxies. ok let’s agree that we don’t want Wahabism. You as Proud lebanon should not accept the syria and hezbollah still controlling lebanon. if Hezbollah stuck to Lebanon and only defended the borders not many can argue against them even though we all want the gov’t to handle it. but to go out to Syria and fight for what? if Iran and Syria didn’t allow Al Qaada in Iraq they would not have them at their doorsteps. who allowed them to go to Iraq and kill americans. Also they blow themselves at Shiites holy places.. Please not everything is saudi arabia. At least the saudi is trying to stop them and also helping Lebanon with Billions of Dollars. unlike iran with 7 millions.
            Why didn’t iran and Syria train the lebanese army while Syria was in Lebanon instead of arming hezbollah? nobody dared to speak against the syrian otherwise would been killed. stop shifting the blame. otherwise i consider you biased and stop being ignorant of the party assasinations and criminal acts..

            Humm..I hear you..many truths in there.. ana befhamak ..i think you are right, however, i don’t trust Saudis and will never trust them, i consider them as traitors, beware of Saudis bearing gifts. Wahhabi are responsible for Jihad in the Levant, now they are trying to stop them ? Maybe they realize the Frankenstein they created will turn against it’s creator..

    What’s wrong with wearing make up while they drive?? Give me a break….so backwards!!

      They are sick or backwards, make up under the veil ?..

      1. A question, what are your views about the Shia Iranian women under the chadar!? What they do, is it Mutah? It can’t be sick or backwards, can it!? After all they are free women under that chadar who pleases shia men n women! Indeed such a holy divine deed on their part!

      In a country where only the eyes of a woman are her public face, makeup equals a mask.
      If she’s stopped by a policeman, he has only the right to see her eyes, imagine his confusion seeing a mask…Istaghfarallah
      Anyway, 5 years from now women will be driving in KSA (inchallah)
      and maybe they’ll give them more needed rights as well…

        I think there is a misconception out there by us uncovered people. We don’t cover up basically because we don’t want to or have to. This whole covering thing really shouldn’t be such a big deal for us it’s really none of our business. If the ladies in SA are forced to cover up its sad I’ll admit that, but in Australia I see more and more ladies covering up everyday. I’m not talking head scarf I mean full creepy black ghost with black gloves and all. It’s certainly not compulsory to do so over here, but these people are choosing to go full darth vader and there numbers are increasing at an increasing rate. So really apart from the creepy feeling I get when they stand behind me at the grocery store or at the bank or wherever, the bottom line is they want to be that sub human being its their choice kinda like the gothics who stretch their ear lobes with pipes and stuff. By the way I’m not bashing the ones who wear head scarves I can respect that practise it’s just the walking letter boxes that freak me.

          I think its a public safety concern (the Darth Vader). They can’t be identified and they could be carrying weapons underneath.

            Quick joke since you mentioned an apache.
            One day Queen Elizabeth, her sister Margaret, and her daughter in law Camilla left Buckingham for a ride in their Range Rover. On their way they get stopped by road bandits. 5 minutes later the bandits, finding nothing to steal run away before the police gets to the scene.
            Waiting for the cops to arrive the 3 ladies sit patiently and have the following conversation.
            Margaret starts by asking the queen: I know you never leave without your jewels… to which the Queen replies.
            “well I saw the bandits a minute before they stop us and so I took my jewels and hid them in a very private place…. What about you Margaret? you never leave the house without a ton of cash..”
            Margaret says: I saw the bandits too a minute before and I hid all my cash in my own private.
            Both women then turn to Camilla and ask at the same time: “Camilla? Where’s the Range Rover?”

          Absolutely true. People are free to wear whatever they want, grow hair or beards, shave it all, shave none, stretch their ear lobes or pierce their genitals, cover their body in tattoos or take milk baths every day… What is wrong is making one or multiple of these options a law. Forcing any kind of style is not fair. Give the people the freedom to choose and some will choose to veil themselves by conviction and not by force.

          1. I like shave it all, bushes are out.

        1. Hind Abyad Avatar

          It’s traditional kohl..what’s the mater with you?

          The Arabic name كحل kuḥl and the Biblical Hebrew כחל kaḥal [2] (c.f. modern Hebrew כחול “blue”) are cognates, from a Semitic root k-ḥ-l. Transliteration variants of Arabic dialectal pronunciation include kol, kehal or kohal.
          The Arabic word was loaned into a number of languages with the spread of Islam.
          The Persian word for kohl is sorme.
          The English word alcohol is a loan of the Arabic word (via Middle Latin and French; originally in the sense “powder of antimony”; the modern meaning is from the 18th century).
          The Russian word for antimony, сурьма, is a loan from the Persian term.
          The Greek and Latin terms for “antimony”, stibium, στίβι, στίμμι, were loaned from the Egyptian name sdm.
