Saudi Clerics: Women Will Turn Gay If They Drive

My favourite part of the entire article

Some Saudi men believe that allowing women to drive will lead to prostitution, pornography, divorce, and homosexuality. The highest Saudi religious council and conservative professors at King Fahd University have stated that granting women the right to drive will mean there will be no more female virgins in the country.

So cars lead to loose morality and the destruction of society. And men are the only ones allowed to drive them? Huh.

This entire article hurt my head. Because women in other nations automatically become lesbians when they get the ability to drive. Got it.

I'm a lesbian and I don't drive, and I doubt i ever will because it terrifies me. Perhaps the bus turned me gay? Or perhaps it was being a passanger in a car driven by a woman that turned me:) It was the defrauding steering wheel i tells ya!:)

My first response was "I became a lesbian as soon as I got that license. Picked up some porn and prostitutes for an orgy on that very first drive".

I just feel pity for the people there (well moreso the women). The clerics enjoy the power there and fearmongering.

This is so true! I know some gay women, and all of them drive cars! I can't believe I never noticed this before.

I know! :o

Its common sense if you think about it. All those Saudi women only want to drive so they can pick up their porn after they turn tricks with lesbians in their new cars. What, you don't? :whistle:

They aren't allowed to be out in public without a male relative, so being able to drive would just change which seat they sit in.

Ugh, I never feel good after reading something about Wahhabi Islam.

It's laughable some of the fears these fundies have with allowing any latitude for females. Then again, we've all read the rantings of fundies in this country regarding females and it's pretty clear that fundies the world over share similar stripes.....

I know every time I get behind the wheel, I get the uncontrollable urge to go down on a woman!

Except, you know, not, because I'm straight. I think they'll come up with any kind of excuse to maintain their control over women. Next, women behind the wheel will be the cause of wars and financial crisis and the milk spoiling right in the carton.

But trying to decide which seat to take might lead to raucous Friday night parties and we can't have that. :P

They actually lash women for having the audacity to drive. I just cant comprehend that situation. I also read that the morality police is cracking down on women whose eyes are too sexy. Allah forbid those sexy eyes cause a good man to go a rapin'. /

THAT finally explains declining birthrates in industrialized countries!

Thank you, Islamist Clerics, for this simple explanation for a problem that has baffled millions. :doh:

(Actually, from the quote it's not quite clear whether driving causes FEMALE homosexuality. Maybe it's like this: women get to drive their own cars -> go out alone, go shopping with friends, go to parties with other self-driving girls -> men hang around bored -> men become homosexuals out of boredom? Who knows?) :roll:

When I get behind the wheel I have the uncontrollable urge to run down my nasty fundy neighbor... I mean... um, I like pugs!

I think that his point is that women being able to drive = women not under a man's direct control = the Wahhabi Islamic system coming apart at the seams.

I say, good. If personal freedom destroys your religious system, then to Hell with your religious system.

I can't imagine what is must be like to live that way. Maybe it's not that bad you never knew it any differently though.

Wonder how those women are supposed to drive their kids to activities and run errands and go grocery shopping.

Ot do they all have maids, servants, chefs, whatever?

Saudi Arabia is a rich country but not all Saudis are themselves rich. Not every Saudi woman has a servant to help her navigate the gender apartheid. It really is as bad as it sounds.

Eerily familiar.

How do they cope with their, um, womenly responsibilities like grocery shopping, then?

Sometimes I'd like to see the worst of the male fundies from every religion locked in a room in the hopes they'd argue one another to death.

But then I remember the danger that, if they start discussing women, they'd all agree and end up happily chatting.

my friend from Syria told me how Saudi women in the tchador are the most harrassed women of all when in vacation in Syria... really not effective at "protecting" women

A couple of years ago there was an article in German "Spiegel" magazine about an initiative that brought priests, rabbis and mullahs together to discuss their faiths. Of course they disagreed on major points. But what brought them all together in a warm fuzzy fellow-feeling of shared spiritual brotherhood was that they ALL agreed that it was important to keep the womenfolk from getting uppity. which meant: stay at home, get the babies and let us get on with our little power games. Oh yes, of course what you do is actually VERY important in God's eyes. He loves you really. And now go back to your kitchen and leave us to the power games, and oh, don't tempt us. Thanks a lot.
