Saudi Women DemandRequest Right to Drive

Its common knowledge that the female of the species is accorded a low position in Islamic society. They are treated as mindless creatures and its only in recent times that women are showing even a smattering of rebellion.

In Saudi Arabia, on the occasion of the second anniversary of the accession of King Abdallah Bin Abd Al-Aziz (arrogantly titled the Keeper of the Two Holy Sites),the League of Demanders of Women’s Right to Drive Cars in Saudi Arabia, are delivering a message to King Abdallah,demanding that he return that which has been stolen from women: the right to [free]movement through the use of cars,[which are]the means of transportation today.

I wonder which of the two is more pitiable! The ban on women driving in Saudi or the meek deliverance of a request to drive! A sorry state of affairs indeed.
