Saudis fear there will be ‘no more virgins’ and people will turn gay if female drive ban is lifted
Repealing a ban on women drivers in Saudi Arabia would result in ‘no more virgins’, the country’s religious council has warned. A ‘scientific’ report claims relaxing the ban would also see more Saudis - both men and women - turn to homosexuality and pornography.Now, I don't mean to start a religious flame war or anything - pretty much all major religions have their goofy moments. It's just amazing to see the stretches made here - the simple act of allowing a woman to drive will bring about the end of civilization! You can practically hear the clerics doing the arabic equivalent of ZOMG! (ZOMA?).
The startling conclusions were drawn by Muslim scholars at the Majlis al-Ifta’ al-A’ala, Saudi Arabia’s highest religious council, working in conjunction with Kamal Subhi, a former professor at the King Fahd University.
What really strikes me is the leap between "women driving" and "no virgins in 10 years". Talk about your "butterfly effect" taken to the absurd here. I was hoping there would be some discussion about how operating heavy machinery would lead to a drop in virginity, but alas... This is a society where women are routinely murdered because they didn't keep their elbows covered, yet allowing them to drive is going to lead to looser morality?
This would be comical if these folks weren't actively funding folks who want to kill us...
That is all.

pls provide evidence of a woman being murdered for exposing her elbow.
YGTBSM... sigh...
Who wants a virgin anyway?
Jay, it's Islam. Fundamentalist Islam at that. It isn't going to make any sense to anyone who wasn't raised in that culture.
As for "one of our alleged allies...", well, if Saudi Arabia is our ally, it's purely an alliance of convenience. Expect no friendliness or cooperation from them, any more than you would expect compassion from a hungry hyena.
The study was done in Massachusetts. Women are allowed to drive and there's Barney Frank. They reported back their findings and no one was willing to take that chance.
Muslims are deeply concerned about the scarcity of virgins.
The virgins are being consumed 77 at a time in A-stan and other hotbeds of jihad.
God Bless the Marines, helping jihadists to paradise every day.

Perhaps Jay exaggerated just a bit in re elbows. (Not by much -- please note this travel advisory that explicitly warns female travelers to Saudi Arabia to keep their elbows covered.)
On a slightly different subject, see here and here in re what can happen if a woman does not cover up her "sexy eyes".
Jay's point is a good one: Saudi Arabia takes subjugation of women to a level unheard of in the United States, and their (rare) attempts to justify it sound absurd, at best, to Americans.
Then again, perhaps Saudi women can consider this (extremely small) progress, in that Saudi authorities are even discussing the possibility...
Perhaps more to the point: some will no doubt say that Saudi culture has its pluses and minuses, just as American culture does. This is correct; neither culture is perfect. (Nor is any other.)
But are Saudis in general more happy than Americans? (Subtle hint: which country gets more immigration, and sees people fighting each other for the chance to start a new life there?)
Now look at American contributions to the world -- in science, in technology, in ethics and philanthropy, in literature, in freedom in general. Think of how America, to this day, is the gold standard of freedom, to which most peoples of the world aspire.
Now, what have Saudi Arabia's major contributions to the world been? What have they exported (other than Wahhabi extremism, terrorism, and oil)?
Bottom line: the Saudis pay a heavy price for the privilege of keeping half their population enslaved.
