Allowing women drivers in Saudi Arabia will be 'end of virginity'
Allowing women drivers in Saudi Arabia will tempt them into sex, promote pornography and create more homosexuals, according to some conservative Muslim scholars.
By Andy Bloxham8:15AM GMT 02 Dec 2011

Academics at the Majlis al-Ifta' al-A'ala, which is Saudi Arabia's highest religious council, said the relaxation of the rules would inevitably lead to “no more virgins”.
Saudi Arabia is the only country in the world where women are banned from driving.

The academics, working in conjunction with Kamal Subhi, a former professor at the conservative King Fahd University, produced the conclusions in a report for the country's legislative assembly, the Shura Council.

It warned that allowing women to drive would "provoke a surge in prostitution, pornography, homosexuality and divorce".

5. They should ban men from driving, then,
because they are the ones who are normally aggressive in sex.

8. Excellent!
The only reason a man needs a virgin bride is that he is such an inept, piss-poor lover he cannot survive any sta ndard of comparison except total ignorance.

And he has a tiny dick.

11. An we suppose to hate Iran who has women drivers?
I don't like any of these Abrahamist based religions and that includes
Judaism, Christianity nor Islam

But they have oil and lobbyists.

24. And the problem is....?
I really, really, really hate the cult of virginity. There is nothing special about someone who's never had sex, any more than there's anything special about someone who's never eaten sushi or gone skiing or fired a gun or been to London (and half of those apply to me, so you know I'm not just bitter and grudgey).

25. And if they wear a business suit that means they like it up the ass?
What the hell kind of logic are these people dealing in? I would love to hear that thought process. How driving leads to sex and "immorality".

Their Moms all fucked someone at least once.
