dubai_phil Posted 28 September, 2011 Share Posted 28 September, 2011 Nope. But then that's why it's called the Magic Kingdom. Mind you, it has often been said that while OTT it sure as heck solves the problem of Women Drivers. None of that school run chaos........ Oh and yes it is not good, but in context of the weird way they run their own place, it's been that way since forever and at least it's only a lashing for driving. Far far worse things go on in that place than this. Just file it under it's all your fault because "we need petrol" and move on unfortunately.

dubai_phil Posted 29 September, 2011 Share Posted 29 September, 2011 Story over. King Abdullah has revoked her sentence. Interestingly it is not the Law in the country, it is Religious Edict. Mind you the Muttawah aren't people you want to cross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the bottom of the story i read it said that a total of 43 people have been executed in Saudi this year. Nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
