Saudi Arabia to allow women to drive for the first time

I have taken a taxi alone many times in Arabia..

You're correct that there is NOTHING about women driving in Islam.. and Bedu women have been driving trucks in the desert for over 50 years.

 

what kind of cars did they have when Islam was written.

 

Nope.. Nothing in the Koran forbids driving.. The reason that it evolved the way it did was because there were almost no roads in KSA in the early years. If you went anywhere you went in a convoy of trucks with sand tires and lots and lots of water.

 

Sheikh Saleh bin Saad al-Lohaidan, a judicial adviser to an association of Gulf psychologists, recently told a Saudi website that "If a woman drives a car, not out of pure necessity, that could have negative physiological impacts as functional and physiological medical studies show that it automatically affects the ovaries and pushes the pelvis upwards. That is why we find those who regularly drive have children with clinical problems of varying degrees.”

 

Faiza al-Obaidi, a biology professor, says she thinks the attempts at Western-style female emancipation are part of a religious war being waged by the United States, "an intellectual rather than physical colonization.

 

Women could drive camel caravans.

LOLOL. BS.. You sure get exercised over what one Arab psychologist says.

 

What kind of trucks were they using when the Qur'an was written.
Were they American trucks.

 

Women drove camel caravans.

 

Yes.. Red ARAMCO cars and trucks.. Ford if I remember correctly. They had sand tires and radios.

 

I think Muhammed would have had a Hummer.

 

Maybe those women were all jailed after that day

 

Actually a few were.
Saudi men are apparently very insecure.

 

What are you talking about?

 

They had a few activists jailed.

It's not healthy to go against the system in Islam.

Those who cause corruption in the land. ( Partial Quranic quote)

 

Just for a few hours.

 

I was both kidding and making prediction and that Arab quoted my post and confirmed that some activists had been jailed

 

I don't think muslim Turks read same Quran with yours - I am a tengrist one, anyway. Probably I would be killed there for being a tengrist thanks to God I am not an Arab

Turks translated Quran in Turkish language and everyone read it. I didn't come across any Quranic verses for not driving

 

.

 

Same as above

 

Ditto
