...no sheikh (the equivalent to a priest) will allow a man to marry a second or third wife without conducting an interview with him to see what his reasons are.

Shiekh: "So, young man. You wish to marry a third wife. How often do you beat your first two?"
Man: "Once or twice a week, Shiekh!"
Shiekh: "Is that all??? And you expect to take on the additional responsibility of beating a third wife?"

So you can drive yourself to your own stoning?

Actually, she can't. By law, women are not permitted to drive in Saudi Arabia.

So, a male would have to accompany her to her stoning.

Nope, that won't work because women are not allowed to drive in Saudi Arabia.

“Actually, she can’t. By law, women are not permitted to drive in Saudi Arabia.”

Yes, I know. It was a joke about how she might get stoned if she were caught driving in her 21 century modern society.

Hmmm.. Well then since the Torah was given to Moses in Sinai, then no other religion should be practiced in Sinai?

Yeah, and did you note the last paragraph wherein she states that one day her country will “rise up.” I’m sure she believes it will and then we will all have the lovely freedom that she enjoys there in S.A.

If you made that up, you are clever. It reminds me of a Monty Python skit. Too bad SNL doesn’t do this kind of humor.

>>no one the right to mock us about it

!!! OK.

>>Or better yet, visit Saudi Arabia.

LOL!

>>One day my country will rise and shine above all,

Too much.

If that wasn’t a letter straight out of the Ministry of Virtue and Vice, I’ll eat her - uh, abaya.

Well if this woman is real, she should go outside and slip her towel of her face and see what the Muttawa (religious police) do to her...

Mosque is a muslim word. Through translation it comes to mean “place where we keep lots of guns, explosives and other weapons ready to kill people.”

"Nothing is forced upon us"

If only that one sentence were true, then the remainder of the article would be valid.

You get the impression they’re writing this tripe at the point of a sword.
