Good News from Saudi Arabia!

[OPEN BORDERS 10]

The Saudi Cabinet have made domestic and workplace violence against women - both physical and sexual - illegal for the first time in the Kingdom's history. Those found guilty could face fines of up to $13000 or 12 months in jail.

Whatever has come over them ?

Someone told them its 2013, not 713.

Wonders never cease.

Will Saudi Arabian women be permitted:

a. to vote;

b. to drive alone or with a man; and

c. to enjoy the same rights that males there enjoy?

 

Lets hope so in due course. In the meantime, surely even the most curmudgeonly amongst us can applaud this important step on the road towards equality.

Why that's rather like congratulating Mugabe for beating up white farmers he's robbing instead of murdering them.

You seem to be promoting one of the worlds most oppressive regimes for being slightly less oppressive. What's your motive?

Do you think it's a bad thing that they've just made physical and sexual violence against women illegal?

 

Would you rather they hadn't bothered?

You seem to accept pretty low standards because they are muslim. Next you'll be applauding Iran because they've started amputating the fingers instead of chopping off hands.
