Islamic Academics: Allowing Saudi Women to Drive Would Lead to ‘Surge in Prostitution…Homosexuality & Divorce’

Saudi Academics Say Women Driving Would Lead to No More Virginity

In 2011, some brave Saudi Arabian women put up a fight over the ongoing driving ban that exists in the Middle Eastern country, but their battle is far from over. Now, religious scholars from Saudi Arabia’s highest authority on Islam are claiming that allowing women to drive would lead to further “moral decline.”

But it gets even more bizarre. Academics in the Majlis al-Ifta’ al-A’ala council claim that making such an allowance would lead to a “surge in prostitution, pornography, homosexuality and divorce.” Yes, that’s right. By affording women the right to move about more freely, society, in their view, would nearly collapse.

Oh — and even worse: The kingdom could be left with “no more virgins” within 10 years if women are allowed to get behind the wheel. Islamic academics worked with with Kamal Subhi, a former professor at King Fahd University, to complete the report. It was prepared for the Shura Council, the nation’s legislative assembly.

Saudi Academics Say Women Driving Would Lead to No More Virginity

The Telegraph has more regarding the odd — almost unbelievable — nature of the report:

It pointed out that “moral decline” could already be seen in those other Muslim countries in which women are allowed to drive.

In the report Prof Subhi described sitting in a coffee shop in an unnamed Arab state where “all the women were looking at me”.

“One made a gesture that made it clear that she was available,” he said. “This is what happens when women are allowed to drive.”

In May, The Blaze brought you the story of Manal al-Sharif, a Saudi woman who launched a campaign against the kingdom’s driving ban. Al-Sharif posted a video of herself driving on both Facebook and YouTube to encourage others to join her in opposing the ban.

In September, another woman — Shaima Ghassaniya — was found guilty of driving without the government’s permission. While she was condemned to have 10 lashes for her purported actions, the government inevitably overturned the sentence.

Below, watch a video that explains activists’ past attempts to overturn the ban:

Needless to say, this report is likely to further hamper equal rights in Saudi Arabia, as the nation has worked to diligently to decline women of the most basic freedoms (it is the only country in the world that does not allow women to drive).

Apparently, the government is considering an even more intense anti-female proposal that would command that women who have “tempting” eyes cover them up.

    WOW, they caught me, I’m on my way out ( Driving of course) to prostitute myself in a gay, hooking money making endeavor. Maybe we should arm the women and they can shoot these dumb A** men that run their country and every aspect of their lives, in between turning tricks.

      I honestly do not see the connection this, as Big o claims, “religion of peace” is making. Maybe they are insecure about the moral conviction the religion instills in it’s female followers. Or…. maybe they are just plain insecure. That would explain why they view everyone who is not a “follower” as a dog and a pig.

    They are right. The women will drive themselves to the whore houses to sell themselves for money.
    Who will know, you can‘t tell who they are since they’re covered.
    The men are mostly all pigs who want more than one sow to wallow with in their sty and self-pity.
    I say more power to their women, perhaps they can enlighten these stupid clueless boars who believe they are so damn superior because they believe in some idiotic false insane religion and that anyone who doesn’t agree with them should be killed.

    This is just one more example of the idiocy of Islam. This is not a religion of peace or of equal justice. Their entire belief system is designed to keep others in some sort of submission and slavery. Everyone who does not fully understand Islam should listen to David Horowitz. There are no moderate Muslims, just a few liberal ones that live in a free society. In Islam the goal, whether moderate or devout is to establish a caliphate, and bring about death of all those who do not convert to Islam. This is a religion of despair, darkness and death. Our tolerance of this so-called religion of peace will one day be our downfall. For all of those who disagree, and would call me a bigot, I would ask that you research Islamic history. It has not changed. In every part of the world that Islam has conquered, you will find a trail of tears.

      Isn’t it wonderful that Islam can use our freedoms to recruit followers. Just like Christians are allowed to recruit followers in Islamic countries ? Irony here ? And, of course, these “Muslims academics ” in foreign countries praise and thank America for allowing them to do so within America’s borders ? Even more irony ?
