salt if the earth is the Saudi regime, we did the largest arms deal with them in history last year. I mean the Saudis are our friends, allies, brethren.

YOU are not that dumb...!!!
If I were a member of a group...any group...and that group had a faction that did the offensive things that are done by muslims...I would get out of that group "in the twinkling of an eye..."
What are you doing supporting such an ideology...???????????
THINK and LEAVE....

9/11 was an insiders job!!!!!!
Attacks on mumbai was mossad-raw conspiracy.!!!!!!
Floods in Pakistan was a Hindu-Jew conspiracy!!!!!!!
Saudi women can't drive because USA sells them arms!!!!!!
I DON'T KNOW HOW TO REACT.
@FINELIVINGS.
You are right, it is about owning a car and having the freedom to drive it at will.
But , it is also about being an individual,
Being one's own self, without being told by others, what you can do and what not.
It is also about being a human not just a FEMALE created to serve and fulfill lust of an animal called your husband.

Ask the Saudi/Bahraini protestors face? Who want their basic rights!
Live rounds-made in USA
Tear gas cannisters-made in the USA
Apv's, tanks, helicopter gunships, water cannons-made in the USA.
Because the Saudis are our friends allies and buddies.
It does not matter about human rights.
We scored an eighty billion dollar deal!

He was good on pointing out things with Omar Article … but he comes here and mix a Muslim women awaking from the indolence of Islam in Saudi and make it as oil problem …
Yes of course …. yah right .. Preventing women to drive have eeeverything to do with west need of Oil and the west patronizing relationship with saudi Arabia for keep that oil coming .
ABC … is so transparent
written by abc , May 24, 2012
We the uk need to stop playing around with the Saudi regime and make them open up and allow the people to have basic human rights.
The reason we are not doing that is because of £££££.
If we opened up Saudi society them the things sister manal talks of would not happen!! Obfuscate that! :-)

Why are Afghan Muslims not FREE? Nothing OTHER than ISLAM prevents the people to be free, this is something people like you should contemplate and reflect about.
You "honor" a concept; I repeat "A CONCEPT" of a deity steeped in FOOLISHNESS! Your "allah" is so real like "Ruebezahl, the Easterbunny or the "Toothfairy" are "real"
It is not the political system that is primarily the problem, but the RELIGIOUS IDEAS which drive it, seen all over the Islamic world.
written by fineliving56 , May 24, 2012
We understand you perfectly …
I am just going to take your no- answer answer about that, and go ahead and say ..you agree with Omar, non Muslims are NOT as equal as Muslims and actually indorse such unfair rules … unless you come out and say differently .
You are hoping Saudi will open up to letting women drive and have the basic humen right ..I am Glad for that …
now all you have to do is convince all the backward male chauvinists %#* men to do the same in Saudi Arabia … to let their women to breath the freedom … we women have as much right as as any men in everything
It looks like women over their, are not waiting around to do something about …
Finally … finally … women In Saudi Arabia are waking up … I have been waiting for that for long time ….. believe me Abc … it is not going to stop at taking back their humen right … they are going to ditch Islam to the curb …

I thought Manal was talking about a good bit of liberty that existed in Saudi Arabia after the British helped found the Saudi Kingdom. Then Islam came in and wiped it out one step at a time.

The reason for the harassment was for the unforgivable crime of ** coming to the Mall with NAIL POLISH PAINTED on her nails
The women being very defiant was heard telling the Saudi man :
'' Is it NOT your business …leave me alone … you have no right to kick me out … ….the government instructed you only to advise us women.. but you have to let us make our own choices in a trivial thing like putting on a nail polish …. I am not leaving!!! … what you are going to do about it !!!…. I am filming it all and it is going to be on twitter and facebook … '' .
hahaha…. then the two men clad in the comical Saudi head dress and Glabia …[ the Arabic men dress ]… with their black beard and their intimidating manner towered the women, had to actuly go out to talk to security on the ever so SERIOUS matter of a Muslim women's painted nails … hahaha
The video ended without knowing if the women was really kicked out or sent to Jail … or may be received 10 slashes …
I said in my other post …. I am so hopeful that women are NOT taking this garbage the Muslim men are dishing out …

Why your father preffered to raise you in the kafir land?
Why cannot Muslims migrate to Saudi Arabia or any other Islamic country even if they WISH to?

This is kid dish abc. No one wants to live away from home but economical and security situations force people to leave home friend and family like your ancestors did. If you were living in an Islamic country you would never say that instead you would have your bags ready to re locate.
And you know very well kafir countries are the best to migrate for all the reasons.
You would realize all this if you were born in an Islamic country. I will not blame you kid.
written by ex-Muslim , May 26, 2012
I was responding to your above statement.That's not what is Manal's experience. She was talking about 1970s and early 1980s when there was some degree of liberty in Saudi Arabia. Then Islamization came in and liberty and freedom went out the window.
Since the Saudi family took over the planes of hijaz is when rights were thrown out.
OK, let's agree. And you said, "uk need to stop playing around with the Saudi regime and make them open up". So, should we threaten the Saudis to liberalize and democratize, or invade?

But that was not what you were asking was it?
Just to remove any doubts.

Because you are not born in majority Muslim country. Also I am sure you do not know that no gulf country gives citizenship to outsiders including Saudi Arabia.
You should be thankful to god and your ancestors that you are born in kafir country.
You are a person who wish to live in a glass house but propagating to others that a mud house is the best. You propagate that Muhammad is your ideal person but you don't want to go to his land.
What should I call you. A kid. You have to get out of your pond to see the real world my son.

18: 94 They said: "O Zul-qarnain! the Gog and Magog (People) do great mischief on earth: shall we then render thee tribute in order that thou mightest erect a barrier between us and them? 95He said: "(The power) in which my Lord has established me is better (than tribute): Help me therefore with strength (and labour): I will erect a strong barrier between you and them: 96 "Bring me blocks of iron." At length, when he had filled up the space between the two steep mountain-sides, He said, "Blow (with your bellows)" Then, when he had made it (red) as fire, he said: "Bring me, that I may pour over it, molten lead." 97 Thus were they made powerless to scale it or to dig through it. 98 He said: "This is a mercy from my Lord: But when the promise of my Lord comes to pass, He will make it into dust; and the promise of my Lord is true." 99 On that day We shall leave them to surge like waves on one another: the trumpet will be blown, and We shall collect them all together. 100 And We shall present Hell that day for Unbelievers to see, all spread out,-
Now either the "promise of the Lord" did indeed come to pass and this wall got reduced to dust, or MuahamMAD once again relied on other peoples lore, after all this story was lifted from Jewish oral tradition, like so much of other stuff. This Wall can NOT be found on this planet. Nowhere And what was at MuahamMAD's time considered the people of "Gog and "Magog" became Muslims, now living in modern Turkey... The people of Gog and Magog are just as fictitious as the Palestinians...
Of course out of 1.000 people 999 will go to hell and one will be of the Muslims, the 999 are all coming from Gog and Magog..... So I as Austrian will be lucky as I'm not from the people of Gog and Magog...

I couldn't believe my eyes when I read it. Do you as a Muslim really want infidels to meddle in the interior business of Muslim country? Don't you people complain enough already that all and every problem in your society happen because of US, West, evil Jews impose their will on you? And after that you expect "dirty kafir"s to undermine our own interests to better you lives? To gain what? As much appreciation that we have from Afgans, Egypt, Pakistan and countless other Muslims in which conflicts we already been involved? Hell, NO!!!
You people made your bed, now sleep in it. You want Islam, live under its iron tumb. You want liberty and human rights - fight for it. Just like people in the west did it. All we need from you is oil. And I sincerely hope not for a long.
And what human rights are you talking about? Muslims don't need human rights. They have "laws of God" which should be followed to a letter. And this is what kingdom of Sauds is all about. The most Islamic of all Islam, keepers of Mecca and such.
This is so Muslim, always put a blame on somebody else!
Here is another solution - pray to Allah to give your people some freedom!
I am afraid it won't help either, because Islam is not about freedom. It's about submission. And this is what Muslims have - eternal slavery.
written by Demsci , May 28, 2012
And ABC, you are again suggesting that infidels are to be criticised but Muslims are victims of infidels. But that means in my perspective that you consider the UK infidels in the past and present to be capable of change, like adult sane humans.
But apparantly do not see the past and present Muslims as capable of much change, as you do not hold them as much responsible as you do the UK-infidels.
Even if your argument is that the UK-infidels are stronger, more advanced, then you should ask why Islam failed, in 1400 years, the strongest, most advanced countries.

But now? Muslims like ABC resort to reactions of contempt, telling us that they laugh at us, that we "can be seen to be coming".
We notice this is no refutation of the message with evidence and logic, but the attempt by one of the Muslims, to discourage debate, with ad hominems, ridicule of the messengers. Who should not matter. But it is all the now powerless Muslims are left with. In a world where they are no longer capable of suppressing free speech with violence.

Stay ignorant. It's all good!

written by Demsci , May 29, 2012
I may have been arrogant declaring victory. But I assume you do not laugh at your own comments or considered them stupid. So I assume you consider your own comments superior to mine and that is arrogant too.
I want you to know that I first of all want Moslims to consider Islam NOT NECESSARILY BETTER than other ways of life and to let these other ways of life exist under the full democratic system together with them. Instead of striving for world-hegemony and supremacy and destroying these other ways of life.
Only with good arguments can we try to convince Muslims that our lifestyle may be better than theirs and then only about parts of it.
Otherwise I should be humble and realise that I and my lifestyle too are very imperfect.
In future try to argue more in place of only offering judgements.

If by "We" you mean good 'ol Allah and ITS Army of Locusts - the Al-Mu'minum, both human and jinn - then you are partly correct. Islam has, indeed, messed up the planet everywhere IT has gone. IT is currently working on messing up the rest of the planet. Islam is like an invasive noxious weed which is trying to infest the entire world with ITS vile presence in order to smoother out all that is good, beautiful, kind, and decent.
"Practically robbed you blind and left you third world." But Britian left India with a legal system, democracy, a parlimentary system, a railroad, educated Indians, and the English language. AND Hindus who are in charge, NOT muslims. Is that why you are knocking Britain, abc? And blaming Britain for ALL the world's problems? Not very patriotic of you, is it? Unless Dar al-Islam is your REAL country? Oh, that's right, IT is!!!

Quran does Discriminate between Muslims and non Muslims … and Shiak Omar eddmited to that as Quran and shariah orders as we all know by now except Muslim minds .
Not just that … Quran discimnate between RICH , light skinned Muslims and a POOR dark skined [ black ] Muslim … and here it is in black and white [ the pun in intended ]
Quran …Sura Al nahil … the bees … 16/75
'' … Allah brings forword the case [ of two men ] one , a slave [ Abid means a black man ] under the control of another , he the slave, black man ] has no power at all . and the [ the other ] a man we granted so many favors from our selves and he spends from them privately and publicly : ** THEN ARE THE TWO MEN **EQUAL**…. "
Aya 16/ 76 after that 75 … is no better … it tells…. how a mute [Abkam ] man who is poweless and he is nothing to offer but tiresome burdon on his master … the mute who brings nothing good "' [ so Allah asks '' Is such a man EQUALS TO THE ONE WHO IS JUSTLY AND IS ON THE RIGHT PATH ???? '' … you see Allah ? …
As we can see … how many things are wrong with these two Ayas … and how , the discrimination between rich and poor …normal and mute … black and whiter in so clear in Quran .










So appropriate name for a young bright women who finely woke up from sedation that Islam had her under … she is wake up and listen to Music … drove a car and defied all Muslim men and put in Jail for her troubles …
Hope [Manal ] fallowed her inner guide and started something simple, but so courageous .. I am so proud of that women and others like her … I hope she goes back to Mecca of backwardness and make it Mecca of freedom and open minded .
She reminded me of my own struggle when I was prevented from driving for long years … I won the battle in the end to have the right to drive …
the thing is … it is not about owning a car …. or driving licenses … or the act of driving … the deep or real reason of the prevention of Muslim women to be allowed to drive … * it is about the freedom the driving of a car brings which Muslim men refuse to give to their wives , sister and daughters ''
It is about the short leash men like to keep their wives, on … the shorter the leash is the tighter the control of her would be and all that will insure the honer of the family to stay intact … and all that non sense madness
Now all Manal needs is to leave Islam all together … I think she will eventually .
I love this winning story of Manal … the internet going to make many more like her …
The internet is ex Muslim maker machine … :) …
Out with the old, Omar … and in with the new, Manal .
