| Women driving and the collapse of illusions |
| 2017-10-01 |
| [ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] The historic decision allowing women to drive is far bigger than just about women as it encompasses the entire country and its vision for the future. It confirms that the kingdom is strongly and steadily walking down the right path to achieve an ambitious vision engineered and supervised by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. This vision has become part of the national dream, which many pessimists and figures preaching misery doubted the capability to achieve. The prince however won the duel and we have seen illusions fall one after the other. We are now entering into a new era for the homeland where there is no place for extremism. It is a country that is washing off the damage caused by hate and death preachers. |

| #10 I'll be curious how long it is between the law saying women can drive, and the reality of husbands allowing their women to even get licenses. And nobody has stated if a woman is able to buy a car in Saudi Arabia, that might be a hitch for those without husbands. |

| #5 Next thing you know, they will stop putting black trash bags over their Women in 120 Degree weather and mangling their genitalia. Ohh the humanity Ohh the fake Shariah law. Ohh the fake Allah. Some say it is a start, I say it is hard to dig yourselves out of an abomination that causes desolation. I say open a Bible is the Only way in the end. |

| #4 If it's anything like Saudis taking "flying lessons" in the US a while back, there'll be lots more emphasis on getting started than stopping... |

| #3 Will their driving schools teach the difference between "Stop" vs "Yield" signs? Will they point out that the lines for parking places are not mere suggestions but rather a reasonable place to put one's parked car? |
