leap_frog_j - women driving = unholy. everyone knows that

i thought that the koran would be clear about women driving cars, you know, being based on wise considerations from a prophet in the 7th century, but  when of course there was no cars.  i saw this in brisbane feminism online....

Saudi woman arrested for driving a car
Saudi religious police have arrested a woman in the region of Qatif in eastern Saudi Arabia for driving a car. The 47-year-old woman was spotted by agents from the Committee for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice after other men reported the woman, said Saudi daily Okaz. The woman was later released after her family posted bail, and will now be put on trial. There is no law in Saudi Arabia that prevents women from driving. However, fatwas or religious edicts, have been issued by Wahhabi scholars saying it is sinful for women to drive. (08/12/08)
