Saudis fear ‘no more virgins’, gays, if women let drive

[Audley Strange]

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?

Stoning could be considered interaction.

Isn't this what Pat Robertson said about feminism?

[Animavore]

Isn't that what every religious nut says about everything ever?

Hey, Saoirse. Nice Irish name you have there.

[Xamonas Chegwé]

So, if all men and women turn gay, exactly how are these virgins going to be deflowered? Somebody really really didn't think any of this through at all!

[Schneibster]

When do doctors predict they'll be over their psychotic break?

[Saoirse]

Well, they only seem to interact with them to have sex and then stone them for being sluts because they had sex with them...kind of like they do women in Afghanistan. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-15991641

Complete disconnect from reality.

Not true. Women will become more promiscuous and gays will be out in the open if their society becomes more permissive and less rigid. Their fears are totally justified, even if I don't agree with them.

I think they have a point.........

They may be correct about their fears, but I don't think their fears are "justified".

[Schneibster]

Fearing that is fearing equality.

I think we all have an opinion about fearing equality. I think we all think it's chickenshit. I sure as hell do.

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.

This has to be The Onion stuff...

Close. The Daily Male.

At least they'll still have all those virgins waiting for them in paradise...
