As I understand it, it is NOT only Saudi Women but all women in Sharia Law Dictatorships. Make that read women under the slavery of Islam.

“We act one way in Saudi Arabia and differently when we travel,” she said. “As if God is to be observed only here.”

Which tells me they don’t really believe.

Now, like many Saudi women, Yamani unwraps her head scarf and removes her abaya as soon as she boards a plane leaving the country.

Sharif, the editor, called such behavior an instance of Saudi Arabia's split personality. "We act one way in Saudi Arabia and differently when we travel," she said. "As if God is to be observed only here."

They enjoy the freedoms of non-muslim countries yet do everything in their power (generally speaking) to destroy these countries and make them islamic...

Ladies, paint your chains in soft colors for Spring. It’ll perk up your slavery and lighten that ol’ oppression so you can almost forget about it for a couple of minutes during the day...

Where the NOW gang and the feminists when you need them?

This Afghan woman's abaya is blue.

So I guess that means she isn't being "oppressed"...

A major factor in the change was the involvement of young Saudis in the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks. Many people began to question the official Wahhabi ideology that was believed to have partly inspired the hijackers

It's hard to believe those words were printed in the comPost.

"God ordered women to dress modestly, to be respectable and to avoid provoking lust."

All the responsibility for "avoiding provoking lust" is on women. Men are free to do as they please. When an illicit affair occurs, it is always the woman's fault.

Why aren't American feminists attacking islam? </irony>

They cannot drive or work alongside men and are forced to cover up with the abaya in public.

Change is coming from within for those brave enough to fight the oppressive systems. The first I heard of any resistance was in the 90s when a group of Saudi women conspicuously drove around in a car alone in protest of the prohibition.

Personally, I think if every fed-up Muslim woman would take a tip (or more than a tip) from Lorena Bobbit, this problem would end rather quickly.

Non-Muslim American girls are being taught how to wear abayas, by liberal teachers in affluent towns. Photo:

The Saudi Fashionista know the purity of a White Abaya is a must for your First Stoning.

A muzzie is still a muzzie, just like you can put put lipstic on a pig but it is still a pig.
