Driving 'exposes women to evil' claims Saudi Arabia's top Islamic cleric as he defends ban

Grand Mufti Sheikh Abdul Aziz bin-Abdullah al-Sheikh attempted to justify the ban on religious television channel Almajd.

He warned "weak-spirited" men who are "obsessed with women" could hurt female drivers.

The cleric added family members would not know where their female relatives were if they were allowed to drive.

The sheikh is known for being outspoken and in 2014 claimed Twitter was "the source of all evil".

He has also spoken out on animation films, reportedly issued a fatwa allowing men to eat their wife if they are starving and banned Muslims from playing chess.

“The cleric added family members would not know where their female relatives were if they were allowed to drive.”

Priceless; as if the genital mutilation itself doesn’t deter women from straying...or the death penalty that would be imposed...

Being in Saudi Arabia exposes women to evil.

First they want the right to drive, then they want to vote, and then the country goes to H-E double hockey sticks. But then Saudi Arabia is already a burning hot place full of Jihadists, so what could it hurt?

“Top Islamic cleric”? You’d think they would fix his teeth and tape his left eye open.

Quite a name: Grand Mufti Sheikh Abdul Aziz bin-Abdullah al-Sheikh. Guess he’s read the Quran a time or two.

This is so wrong, it’s not the cars that women should be banned from, it’s the cell phones.

Well, if he’s an example of what’s out there for the Saudi women, I have two observations:

1) no wonder they cover up so nobody comes near them and,

2) the only danger of allowing them to drive is that they’ll all leave the country.

Is not “Islamic Cleric” the ultimate oxymoron?

Wonder how many rape slaves the holy cleric has, and then is worried about women being exposed to evil.

He might be right.

I feel wicked as hell when I crack the throttle and burn a quarter mile.

In 2011, Mark Steyn contemplated submitting an article to an Al Quaeda women's magazine:

...I thought I might as well submit a possible cover story, "Ten Ways To Drive Him Wild In The Bedroom":

Number One: Say "Darling, I thought I’d borrow the car today."
