You mean women are allowed drivers licenses in Saudi Arabia? While the most virulent strains of Islam do tend to be in the Arab countries that does not keep Islamic jihad attacks from happening in Bali, Thailand, Phillipines and other areas.
No, reread what I wrote if you think that's what I meant. In no way am I defending what goes on in Saudi Arabia. What I'm trying to say that it's not true of all Islam, far from it. It certainly won't be true in the UK, regardless of what happens--having some loud-mouthed Muslim morons there shout that from the rooftops won't automatically mean that every Muslim is in favour.
I don't defend fundies, regardless of their religion, I defend the ordinary people who just want to live their lives in peace, without fundies OR racists destroying everything for them.
