How many people agree with this?
A new report written by scholars of the Majlis al-Ifta’ al-A’ala, Saudi Arabia’s highest religious council, said that allowing women to drive will result in less virgins and a surge in prostitution, pornography, homosexuality and divorce.
Fars News reported:

The shocking results of a so-called “scientific” report written by scholars of the Majlis al-Ifta’ al-A’ala, Saudi Arabia’s highest religious council, in collaboration with a former King Fahd University professor said allowing Saudi women to drive would lead to a scarcity of virgins and cause more Saudis – both men and women – turn to homosexuality and pornography.

The report which was presented to the Shura Council, Saudi Arabia’s legislative body, soon after Shaima Jastaniya, a 34-year-old woman was sentenced to 10 lashes after being caught driving in Jeddah, warned of the dire consequences to Saudi Arabia of allowing women behind the wheel.

The so-called Wahhabite scholars, in their report, evaluated the possible impact of repealing the ban in Saudi Arabia, the only country in the world where women are not allowed behind the wheel.

The report was delivered to all the 150 members of the country’s legislative body.

According to the ridiculous account, allowing women to drive would “provoke a surge in prostitution, pornography, homosexuality and divorce”.

The scholars claimed that within ten years of lifting the ban, there would be “no more virgins” in the Wahhabite kingdom.

4. Ah, see, they were right. And it's true, all women were born to be wild.

5. I think all the problems in the decision would be the fault of men. They need to address them first
They seem to have a very low opinion of men, not just women. The majority of their religious laws are predicated on the notion men cannot control themselves sexually. Which is a lie.

Men are not wild animals and this kind of thinking insults them too, denies they have an ability to learn, follow laws and possess a divine nature within themselves. More disinformation for humans.

:dunce:

6. Sounds quite a bit like something Pat Robertson said
at the 1992 GOP convention:

"Feminism encourages women leave their husbands, kill their children, practice witchcraft, destroy capitalism and be come lesbians."

LOL

7. So, when Esso wished you "Happy Motoring" they were really wishing you...
"Happy Naked Dog Pile with Meth, Whores, and Vibrating Butt Plugs"?

No wonder they had to change their name.

8. I'm not sure why these things would happen
I suppose that they think that a woman might drive to her lover's house. Maybe men shouldn't drive because they could drive their female lover's house. I'm not sure what women driving has to do with homosexuality, especially male homosexuality. A man can already drive to his male lover's house.
