Activists among Saudi Arabia’s women, who can’t drive or vote and need male approval to work and travel, are turning to the type of online organizing that helped topple Egypt’s Hosni Mubarak to force change in a system that they say treats them like children.
The ‘Baladi’ or ‘My Country’ campaign is focused on this year’s municipal elections, only the second nationwide ballot that the absolute monarchy has allowed. The election board said Monday that women would be excluded from the September 22 vote.
Another group, the Saudi Women’s Revolution, citing inspiration from the Arab activism that grew into revolts against Mubarak and Tunisia’s Zine el-Abidine Ben Ali, is pressing for equal treatment and urging international support.

Posted on April 24, 2011 at 9:53am(Ephesians 5:21-32) 21 and be subject to one another in the fear of Christ. 22 Wives, be subject to your own husbands, as to the Lord. 23 For the husband is the head of the wife, as Christ also is the head of the church, He Himself being the Savior of the body. 24 But as the church is subject to Christ, so also the wives ought to be to their husbands in everything. 25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself up for her; 26 that He might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word, 27 that He might present to Himself the church in all her glory, having no spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that she should be holy and blameless. 28 So husbands ought also to love their own wives as their own bodies. He who loves his own wife loves himself; 29 for no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ also does the church, 30 because we are members of His body. 31 For this cause a man shall leave his father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife; and the two shall become one flesh. 32 This mystery is great; but I am speaking with reference to Christ and the church. 33 Nevertheless let each individual among you also love his own wife even as himself; and let the wife see to it that she respect her husband.

Posted on April 24, 2011 at 10:43pmPaul was speaking to the people of his time when women had no rights. Jesus spoke to women and treated them as equals. Keeping women barefoot, pregnant and in the kitchen does not make for a peaceful nation. In the Muslim countries, women have no rights, and the men are the most violent on the planet.
Report Post »God said, “Let us create man in Our image and likeness. And God created man, male and female He created them” It is evident from this, that women are also in the image of God.

Posted on April 24, 2011 at 9:53amWow, I can[’t believe the woman-bashing on this forum. Blaze readers are usually much more open-minded. For all you hateful men out there who resent that your wives and daughters can vote beside you, it’s because of suffrage that we have such conservative darlings as Palin and Bachmann. Women didn’t cause Obama to be elected. It was his ability to mobilize blocs of people who had never voted in large numbers before (the young, project dwellers, etc.). A large number of women (myself included) think for themselves and vote for freedom-oriented, Constitution-respecting candidates. I’ll give up my voter registration card when you take it from my cold, dead hand.

Posted on April 24, 2011 at 7:39amIt baffles me why any Muslim woman would accept this subjugation by their Muslim fathers or husbands. That would mean, being born a female is a very bad thing. The thing is, the human race would end if there weren’t any females. How does it work, that when a mother gives birth to a son, that the son, ends up with more rights than the woman who gave birth to him?
How can fathers that have daughters, believe that their daughters aren’t deserving of basic human rights? All I can say is – that Islam is one really disgusting religion. I’d rather be in the Klan, than be Muslim.

Posted on April 25, 2011 at 9:31amFrom their perspective they see that they are being protected by abuse from males.[And wealth is passed to the females].In a pre industrial desert society ,there would be benefits to being protected by the stronger males.All primitive societies have recognized this.Even our own until industrialization.That men can marry more then one woman also benefitted women who would otherwise be without support [again we're talking about a harsh pre industrial desert environment] .Don’t be so quick to demonize other societies, we’ve had our own backward mores.Their hash penal codes are part of their fundamentalist religious beliefs.They do hurt women but also men.We’ve had our own hash penal codes and some believe life inprison without parole is worse then execution.What is acceptable sexualy in one society is taboo in a more prrimitive society .Who are we to tell people what is sexually taboo? Our mores regarding sexuality are evolving too.When the day comes gay marriage is the law of the land are you Muslim bigots going to use the fact that it is banned in Muslim countries to justify killing and torturing Muslims who have not caught up with you and don’t support gay marriage? In the name of universal human rights you become the most intolerant and dangerous people on the planet.The world does not belong to us and our evolving ethics.Let indigenous people have their own mores in their own homelands.When women want to change their culture or religious beliefs, they will.They are not under a “regime” but are themselves believers in that culture which they traansmit to their children .Let them change it when and if they want.And it’s not like women are not brutally victimized everyday in this country by opressive men..
