RIYADH, Saudi Arabia (AP) — A Saudi police official says a young woman in her twenties defying a driving ban in the capital died along with three female friends when her car overturned.
Maj. Fawaz al-Mouman said Sunday that the woman was driving her four wheel drive vehicle carrying 10 of her female friends on Saturday night in an open area often used by young men in car races.
The vehicle overturned and killed four of passengers including the driver, while the remaining six others were taken to a nearby hospital in northeastern Riyadh to treat their injuries.
Saudi Arabia follows a strict interpretation of Islam. Sexes are segregated in schools and public places. Women are not allowed to drive or vote.

Posted on November 21, 2010 at 6:21pmThe solution to this problem is quite simple….instead of importing more and more oil from the middle east, drill for our own oil on our own land along with establishing state of the art nuclear power plants and COAL fired plants! We could be energy self sufficient in 15 years if a president with some balls, and a Congress with half a brain were to stop humping their secretaries and DO THEIR JOBS! A country that has energy self-sufficiency can tell the ragheads to go hump their camels go back to the job they do best KILLING THEMSELVES OFF!

Posted on November 21, 2010 at 6:13pmI want to die peacefully in my sleep like my grandpa, instead of kicking and screaming like the passengers in his car.
Yeah, those Saudis are no friends of normal human beings. I wonder why Bush was always walking hand in hand with that camel faced prince from Saudi. Probably the rich feel a tighter bond with other rich people than they do with people of their own country that are in lower social classes. He went to war to bring freedom to Iraq, what a laugh, why not Saudi Arabia, they are even more repressive than Iraq ever was.

Posted on November 22, 2010 at 11:57amIt would surprise many if the list of criminals and traitors were to be published. Some of the most respected people in the U.S. right now would be on it. Murder has been part and parcel of our governments’ tactics for decades if not centuries. There is only one solution to our problems and that is the acceptance of the one true Savior, Jesus Christ. there is nothing else.

Posted on November 21, 2010 at 6:15pmBesides, you have to have two women in court to equal the evidence given by one man…according to the Koran…the word of a woman is worth HALF of a man’s. This is also why women can be legally raped…the victim’s word is worht less than that of the rapist…In this case, just get together six men who will attest that these women were at fault, and whoever caused this accident literally gets away with murder…to them it’s no big deal…it’s only women!

Posted on November 21, 2010 at 6:03pmSaudi Arabia needed the seat on the U.N.s Women’s Rights Council like Hitler needed a seat on the Fair Treatment of Jews commission.
The U.N. was, is, and always will be a joke. There is more corruption inside the glass walls of the UN building in New York than in both houses of Congress, Illinois, California and all the Northeastern states put together. We need to pull out, defund and ignore that bunch of loonies.

Report Post »I have a 4×4, it doesn’t turn over, even in snow and ice. The 10 people may be a problem, if all talking, carrying on being 20+ years old. This may cause an accident. Turn overs usually happen when you go off the road, in a ditch? Or hit something?
Or maybe Saudi is damn serious about women not driving ?

Yeah, treat their injuries and nurse them to health so that they can be executed later for violating the will of Allah.
