Saudis fear there will be ‘no more virgins’ and people will turn gay if female drive ban is lifted

Repealing a ban on women drivers in Saudi Arabia would result in ‘no more virgins’, the country’s religious council has warned.

A ‘scientific’ report claims relaxing the ban would also see more Saudis - both men and women - turn to homosexuality and pornography.

The startling conclusions were drawn by Muslim scholars at the Majlis al-Ifta’ al-A’ala, Saudi Arabia’s highest religious council, working in conjunction with Kamal Subhi, a former professor at the King Fahd University.

Their report assessed the possible impact of repealing the ban in Saudi Arabia, the only country in the world where women are not allowed behind the wheel.

It was delivered to all 150 members of the Shura Council, the country’s legislative body.

The report warns that allowing women to drive would ‘provoke a surge in prostitution, pornography, homosexuality and divorce’.

Within ten years of the ban being lifted, the report’s authors claim, there would be ‘no more virgins’ in the Islamic kingdom.

And it pointed out ‘moral decline’ could already be seen in other Muslim countries where women are allowed to drive.

In the report Professor Subhi described sitting in a coffee shop in an unnamed Arab state.

‘All the women were looking at me,’ he wrote. ‘One made a gesture that made it clear she was available... this is what happens when women are allowed to drive.’

The astonishing report comes after Shaima Jastaniya, a 34-year-old Saudi woman, was sentenced to 10 lashes with a whip after being caught driving in Jeddah.

There has been strong protest in the country about the sentence - and about the law generally.

But resistance to reform and change remains strong among conservative royals and clerics.

Complete disconnect from reality.

Complete disconnect from reality.

Insh'allah.

You ever heard a better "I just made this shit up" line in your life?

But an even funnier possibility is that he's telling the truth - or he's telling what he thinks is the truth.

Lying for Allah is more popular even than lying for Jesus.

The Mrs. and I just had a little discussion about this and how it's not quite so unheard of in the west. The are pharmacists who have refused to dole out birth control, politicians and doctors who are against an HIV vaccine, etc., all because of the idea that such things promote poor morality and will lead to a moral decline of our culture.


Fortunately, I've never come across that level of stupidity and repressiveness in person.

I expect she flashed her muff at him.

I think he has a good point, there are no virgins round here and the women all drive. Coincidence? I think not.

Whenever I go to Saudi, I find waving your car keys is the best pick up method, saying 'You wanna go for a drive?' then I lean over and whisper 'I'll let you drive' and they come in their pants on the spot.

The shortage of virgins in Saudi is starting to impact tourism, as it becomes harder and harder to find a muslimah who hasn't been driven before.

The big drawback with burkahs is that they can have their own knob-ended gearstick under that and you'd never know - some things were not thought through in sharia law!

Ironically there are some at the Daily Mail who would probably agree with all that if it came from the CoE. It is often as equally out of touch with reality.

I think you are all wrong, that is obviously a thoroughly researched and well thought out scientific study, stop ridiculing it and get the car keys off of your wife before she loses her virginity.

This is what happens when men are not allowed to interact with women in any sort of meaningful way. A woman, probably without a burqu'a, passing by a man having a coffee in a coffee shop is perceived to be coming on to him.

I'm only half joking. How are men supposed to interact with women when they either put them on a pedestal or stone them?
