That's what I said... no honour killings in Saudi.Originally posted by rendezv0uss:there are no honor killings in saudi lah..those are just media propaganda..if there is such thing as honor killings, that is basically an ignorant cultural practice under the pretext of religion
btw, women are allowed to walk freely by themselves in saudi, they might not be able to drive but 90% of saudi citizens have PERSONAL chaffeurs, dont listen to the bias media!!
OH, u might be wondering why women would wana drive when they basically have chaffeurs..thats because saudi arabia follows the orthodox school of islam that forbids men and women who are not related form mixing and u know the chaffeurs are man so...
The Religious leaders feared that the influx of foreign culture and mindset will erode away their power. That's why they went to the extreme to protect their power. haiz, we can see, as usual, this is a political power struggle between the conservatives and the socialists, and nothing to do with religious issues.Originally posted by rendezv0uss:I think its be wise to say Saudi men, not Arab men.
Anyway, Saudi men dont mind the women driving, they dont mind the women working as 2 incomes int he family help them to have a better lifestyles. Heck, they even BUY roses for valentines day in the black market despite the government ban on "pagan festivals"
The problem is the religious leaders who are trying to impose their tribalistic misogynistic values under the pretext of religion
ive listen to the excuses given by by the religous leaders saying women are emotional beings who might think of other thinks when they drive and accidents can occurOriginally posted by Spartans:The Religious leaders feared that the influx of foreign culture and mindset will erode away their power.
