Saudi Woman Driver Detained for Vagina Possession

How is it that the US bullies the rest of the world over human rights (as we define the issue) while one of our 'allies' tell their female citizins that they can't drive.

Talk about 'WTF'. From Al Jazeera:

A woman in Saudi Arabia was detained after she launched a campaign against the driving ban for women in the Kingdom and posted a video of herself behind the wheel on Facebook and YouTube.
Human rights activist Walid Abou el-Kheir said Manal al-Sherif was detained on Saturday by the country's religious police, who are charged with ensuring the kingdom's rigid interpretation of Islamic teachings are observed.
Al-Sherif was released hours later, according to the campaign's Twitter account. The terms of her release were not immediately clear.
Al-Sherif and a group of other women started a Facebook page called "Teach me how to drive so I can protect myself,'' which urges authorities to lift the driving ban.
She went on a test drive in the eastern city of Khobar and later posted a video of the experience.

Hussy.

  1. hypocrisy at its finest, is it not? For a country so obsessed with interfering with everyone else, we really have a good grasp of what's happening right under our noses.
