Kamal Subhi, a former professor at the King Fahd University, and the Majlis al-Ifta’ al-A’ala, Saudi Arabia’s highest religious council, have issued a “scientific” report that the proposed lifting of the ban on women driving will result within ten years in “no more virgins” in the Kingdom as well as “a surge in prostitution, pornography, homosexuality and divorce.”
Recently, Shaima Jastaniya, 34, was sentenced to 10 lashes after being caught driving in Jeddah.
This absurd report was delivered to all 150 members of the Shura Council, the country’s legislative body. Legislators are now being given the choice between preserving the reservoir of domestic virgins or triggering a “moral decline” that will ultimately lead to homosexuals and prostitutes cruising the streets.
The “scientific report” included Professor Subhi’s horrific account of sitting in a coffee shop in an unnamed Arab country: “All the women were looking at me. One made a gesture that made it clear she was available… this is what happens when women are allowed to drive.” One wonders how many women Professor Subhi believes are signaling him for sex. Of course, with such limitations on driving, he may be unfamiliar with the meaning of being flipped off.

Hi! I realize this is somewhat off-topic however I needed to ask. Does managing a well-established website like yours take a large amount of work? I am completely new to blogging but I do write in my diary every day. I’d like to start a blog so I will be able to share my own experience and feelings online. Please let me know if you have any ideas or tips for new aspiring blog owners. Thankyou!
This is truly absurd… misogynist much? Professor Shubi’s account seems rather tenuous – how can you infer such things when there lacks concrete evidence to say they were ‘luring him’ in? The government seems to be a bit on the religious extremist side 😉 – they want plainly to curtail freedom of the other gender – so much so they would make up stories like that 😉
at 72 virgins per martyr they either going to have to back off on the martyr making or lower the bar on what constitutes a virgin.
Yes, Mespo. It was so nice of Men to “grant” women the right to vote. I would submit that some of these men are constantly trying to attract the blandishments of women as evidenced by the constant adultery and visitation of prostitutes by members of Congress over the years. That is probably Newt’s excuse for leaving two wives (so far). He couldn’t resist the blandishment of a female voter.
An article originally published in the 1991 Session Weekly of the Minnesota House of Representatives recalls the arguments put forth in objection to the Minnesota Equal Suffrage Association’s decision, early in the 20th century, to push for the right of women to vote in presidential elections. One lawmaker declared that all-male voting was “designed by our forefathers.” Later, Rep. Thomas Girling argued that “women shouldn’t be dragged into the dirty pool of politics.” Approving such a measure, he said, would “cause irreparable damage at great expense to the state.”
When the Senate took up the bill, one member asserted that “disaster and ruin would overtake the nation.” Suffrage would lead inevitably to “government by females” because “men could never resist the blandishments of women.” Instead, he recommended that women “attach themselves to some man who will represent them in public affairs.”

Misogynists never really change, do they?
Here in America he would just claim it will destroy traditional marriage – all religious extremists are the same.
AY:
“So I am shooting a 50/50 average….”
they have drugs for that.
And I was told playing with yourself will make you go blind…… Hmmmm… Finally at age 45 I needed glasses…. Coincidence or age…… Still my palms are not Harry….. So I am shooting a 50/50 average….
Ah yes, Professor Subhi. Well on his website he says they signaled him with their headlights, offered to give him a lube job, rotate his tires, give him a full service, take their top down, examine his camshaft, put their lipstick on his dipstick, give him a wax job, asked him to plug their gap, offered to blow his turbo,let him polish her intake and exhaust manifolds, and displayed the junk in their trunk.
So in this case, I dunno, he may have had a point, cars do lead to sex.
And everyone knew that until our latest parents decided to let the kids have sex in their homes!
/and otherwise, what everyone always says about religions wanting to control a woman’s body, and certainly allowing women freedom of movement would definitely lead to well more freedom all around.
