WARNING: This is a high volume ping list
Then I read this:
Eifa, who – like more than 80 percent of UAE residents – does not hold citizenship, considers herself "an international Arabic Muslim citizen."
...and I thought to myself, oh crap. How many people are living here in this country who consider themselves "international Arabic Muslim citizens"?

She wears a Nomex hijab.
"international Arabic Muslim citizens"?
This is real special how do you become one of these?
How come no "barf alert?"
I knew an American woman, a teacher, who was married to a Saudi (I didn't say smart women)and every summer she would don her burka and travel back in time. Once while descending an escalator, her burka got caught and she tumbled down the stairs. She lay there at the bottom in a heap, three broken ribs, a bad cut on her face and no man stopped to see if she was alright. If fact they just stepped over her!!
And it's not just Arab men that that think women are dirt, it's Arab women. These women truly believe that they are slaves born to serve the high almighty male.
So this women doesn't only have to work to change men's minds but also women's. I say good for her and I hope more women follow her lead. This is all part of the slow move to Democracy.
The only muslim woman driver I've met crashed into my neighbor's house on the corner and caused $30,000 damage to their home.
The car went right through their brick foundation and caused major damage.
I comforted the woman, the best I could, no English skills on her part and her male counterpart had disappeared.
This was in one of the "better" parts of Minneapolis. I came to find out they liked our quieter streets to conduct their informal driving schools.
Not many days before that, some of the same folks nearly mowed down an elderly couple in their yard on the same intersection, but across the street. Luckily, the driver only killed a crab apple tree on the boulevard which stopped the forward movement of the car.
Wait until they put sponsors decals and numbers on the sides
Let her come to NASCAR see how she does against Dale Earnhart Jr or Jeff Gorden
Paging NASCAR list
'international Arabic Muslim citizens'
They'd stick out like sore thumbs at Nascar events, But Heck, their cash is as good as anyone else's.
Having a NasCamel race or two would be a sight to behold. ;-)
<<< So she won a powder-puff go-cart race competing against other ladies. Isn't that precious! >>>
Rallying is no "powder-puff go-kart race. Have you ever watched one let alone compete in one? I organize one, I have rallied since '79, both as a driver and co-driver. We're not talking boring roundy-round racing here! Rallying is alive and well here in the US, albeit on a smaller scale, thank you very much.
"I always say that if I were to leave the UAE, it would only be to go to London or America."
Oh, wonderful.
when i first saw this i was like "great another jeff gordon thread"
I'm really disappointed in freeperlandia. As I read this story, I was impressed by the fact that this small country is encouraging freedom and capitalism and is thriving. My grandmother was born in 1888. She never wore pants and she never learned to drive but she was a strong and wonderful person. I don't know why people on this thread feel that it's fun to attack this young woman. Someone please explain that to me.
