Activist Manal Alsharif recently jump-started a campaign to allow Saudi women to drive when she filmed herself behind the wheel. Now Saudi men are planning to put a stop to the fight for women's rights by beating female drivers until they give up.
A Saudi group has launched what it is calling “The Iqal Campaign,” a reference to the rope (iqal) used to hold men's headdresses in place. The group suggests that men use the ropes to hit female drivers.
Women are planning to take to the streets on June 17 to protest the driving ban. According to Algerian news reports, Saudi men have been purchasing extra rope in recent weeks in response. Thousands have joined a Facebook group supporting the “Iqal Campaign.”

>> Saudi Men Plan to Beat Female Drivers
Drag race or Le Mans style.
And our western women won’t give a crap until they get theis boobs in the ring. They’re spoiled little bitches.
ping for later review
They are convinced that if their wives get a chance to meet real men their shortcomings will be obvious.
Their concern is probably justifiable!
When does NATO start bombing?
‘When does Nato start bombing?’
Not soon enough. Seriously, why in hell has facebook not shut this page down?
Uh, because it would be religious discrimination, if they did? /sarc
I just don't get this. I don't understand how violence by ANY man toward any woman, anywhere in the world, gets to be a culturally acceptable thing, PARTICULARLY on a site as ubiquitous in the US as facebook.
Insane. How do they get to do something AGAINST THE US LAW EVERYWHERE, mount a campaign to BREAK THE LAW, much less beat women? How can this be legal? If we're talking about 16 yo "women" getting beaten for getting their driver's licences, furthermore, we're talking about child abuse!
Where is NOW? Where are all the women's groups that support women who get beaten? Where are all the legislators who go wild when they have a women's cause to fix up with brand new shiny laws?
Is sharia creeping into the US? I don't care if this is just Saudi Arabia, when it's on facebook, it's in the US, and women in the US will suffer for it!
Isn't there a freaking limit somewhere??????
Driving in the male Arab headress is dangerous enough because it limits peripheral vision. Can you imagine driving in a burqa or abaya? BTW, the iqal was originally intended as a camel tether. Real Arabs beat their wives with their sandals. Matter of correct quranic form, you see?
What, you think our ancestors were stupid dividing the planet into Islam and Christendom? Islam is an alternate universe.
I think the time has come to drop Arabic copies of Lysistrata in all of their population centers. These women are onto something, but they need to cut to the chase.
“Saudi Men Plan to Beat Female Drivers”
ummmm...the planning was done at least 1400 years ago and it has been show time since then!
All Islamic societies need to be dismantled.
They are a cancer upon the earth.
Don’t try to give them democracy, write them a constitution and force them to abide by it...like we did to Japan after WW2.
Appoint vicious viceroys to rule for an interim period (preferably pissed off, battle hardened females)...hire mercenaries to control the population.
Churchill was right...these people cannot govern themselves.
I’m cheering for the ladies.
Maybe there’s enough enlightenment over there that a counter movement will form - of men who intend to beat the men who would beat the women.
Ahhhh.........the “Arab Spring” celebrations have officially started.......
Seriously, this is unreal. I pray for the conversion of all these towel-heads. Truly they are possessed.
Real Arabs beat their wives with their sandals. Matter of correct quranic form, you see?
Obviously more humiliating, “You are dirt beneath
my feet”.
It’s really too bad that we can’t send our leftwing nutjob women over there. That would be a real treat to see. Starting with Pelosi, Clinton, Napalitino, Ginsburg, Powers, Sotmeyer, Boxer, and on and on and on and on the list goes
