That Young Saudi Woman

[JOGAMIGMOG]

You will have seen the young woman who 'escaped' Saudi Arabia in order to set up home in Canada. It has long been puzzling to me why women in Saudi, Iran, Iraq, Pakistan and many other devout Islamic countries don't rise up against their treatment at the hands of men. It takes just one woman to do so and it becomes world-wide news. I know that any woman who would so much as question her role in society would be subject to draconian punishments for doing so and I guess this is the only reason that women, for centuries, have been accepting of their second-class citizen statuses. It's a sorry state of affairs really that the West have never really got behind a movement to encourage a change in attitudes towards the treatment of women in Islamic nations. Sure, we have various human rights pressure groups and we have the Human Rights Act and so forth and yet still nothing is ever said or done to affect change. Or is it, I don't know? It's topical anyway so thought I'd bring it up for debate. Up the Blues!

Yet many will defend the stone age religion that puts that fear into them?

Bonkers!

Not the religion. The particular flavour of that religion leading to a certain culture. Plenty of countries that are Muslim that aren’t like that wart on the arse that is Saudi cuñting arabia.

As bad as IS but state sponsored and fine as they sell us oil and buy shiny new weapon systems.

Im no scholar but i think that women are generally regarded as second citizens in the Muslim faith mate.

They don't kick up a fuss because if they do they will be killed. Nobody else in the world will give a shit because they have loads o money.

As they are in the Christian faith, yet that only stays true in reality in the Amish, Orthodox and Mormon sects along with some backward parts of Africa.
