Recently, King Abdullah has pushed for some limited reforms in the face of opposition from the country's ultraconservative clerics. Women have been promised the ability to run and vote in municipal elections in 2015, and a new university near Jiddah allows men and women to study together in contrast to the strict general separation of the sexes across the kingdom.
Am I the only one who things it great she got a chance to compete even though she was totally outclassed. What is wrong with women in sports?
Women in sports ain't a problem. Women uncovered with loads of men watching them is. Not to mention, some sports like judo , isn't really the kind, that is acceptable to a Muslim woman due to her Haya. They get all up side down and fall in weird ways in front of men. Oh no! The thought of it sickens me.
is this for real? why?Why are you surprised for? If Saudi law forbid non-Saudi Muslims to marry Saudi Muslimahs then what would stop them from opening a mixed university? They help kuffar against Muslims and Saudi law (NOT shari`a) doesnt have a rules about executing the one who curses the Prophet . We should stop with believing that KSA is SO perfect when they are not. They have iman and kufr in their laws.
Wasalamo`Alaykum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Baraakaatuh,Salam aleikum
I am glad i am not the only one thinking in this way dear sister...is just weird since the hijab is more then a scarf on the head...
What are the things that really empowers a muslimah ?... to show i can do the same things a man can do is not really a goal. We are different and islam teaches us this way.
Allah knows better.
No one would ever insult a girl doing Judo as long as she doesn't puts her "skills/talents" [as they call it] on display where men can see it. Get an all girl gathering and I'll be the one to challenge you in it. Just. . .go easy on me. I like my bones intact.Pehaps I am biased due to my Western Upbringing but I don't see doing Judo as being bad. It teaches you self defence, makes your body in shape and healthy and is good for you.
The insults this girl and her family are getting from people in the Kingdom is over the top. She did not have to accept the inviation nor did her father have to let her go, they both chose to.
Wasalamo`Alaykum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Baraakaatuh,
Muslim women are not for entertainment.
This may anger my Saudi's friends and others in TTI but I've to ask following questions:
- Is it true that whore and liquors easily available in Jeddah and outskirts of Makkah?
- Is it true that women especially foreigners losing their virginity while there are in Saudi?
- Is it true that there are already jews in the Holy City of Makkah?
- Is it true when taking a taxi in KSA, husband should get into and followed by his wife. Otherwise, the taxi man will drive away your wife?
- Tell me is not true that strict Islamic laws only applied in Holy City of Makkah and Madinah only?
I'm studying aqidah from an ustaz, he is born M'sian but now residing in the Holy City of Makkah. According to him, his cousins are still staying there, during the class, we were dumbstruck when he told us that non of his cousin sisters are virgin anymore. They are raped by Saudis and that his cousins are not the only victims. They are warned not to report or else they would be killed. This happen just outside the Haram. Apparently women are generally not safe in KSA? The distressed sisters in the class did asked him, don't KSA observe strict Islamic law? He said KSA is not the KSA that used to be. Islamic law is not strictly observe outskirts and other areas in KSA.
Please, I don't want to jump the gun. I'm prepared not to believe this ustaz, what bothering me is that he is staying there in Makkah so he should know better than me. Let me know, is it true?
