The women were arrested north of Riyadh in Hettein district, she told AFP by telephone, saying that they were "training for driving" in three cars at an empty plot when two police officers arrived and detained them.

I guess we will be hearing that women don't drive because its their choice just like wearing the burkha.

In some countries they even have the audacity to want to learn to read and write. Luckily the Taliban are on to it.

Imagine, the impertinence! They'll be wanting to teach other women how to drive next. Where will it all end - teaching other women how to pray?
Fat chance, I imagine!

Saudi Arabia is the world's largest exporter of petroleum. The irony.

I doubt there's anything in the Qur'an or Hadith about motor vehicles and that's a fact. Iran seems fairer than SA ATM.

Clearly they've never had the pleasure of being picked up from the pub off your face on dirty beer and having her drive you home.....

I had a funny day dream about this today. 2 muslim women where doing van surfing like in Teen Wolf through the heart of Saudia Arabia. That made me giggle for a while. :smile:

I hope more women start to drive so that at one point it is too many to arrest all of them.
