This reminds of the 20/20 (I think it was 20/20, the one w/ Barbara Walters) special on the women of Saudi Arabia last week. They were asking about the whole 'stoning' thing. I have to admit - I was sickened. They said, essentially "Oh, its VERY hard to be caught cheating on your husband, and you must be caught by two people, not just one, so this is very rare."
Um... so, your saying women are very rarely stoned to death for cheating on their husbands. Gee, that's wonderful, I'm sure those few women don't really mind. You know - I believe that we should be respectful of other people's cultures, but at some point, there is right and wrong. Stoning someone to death for infidelity is just plain sick. I can understand them not wanting women to drive. (Err, by 'understand' I mean, I can live with it. I think it's bad, of course, but it's nowhere near the stoning.) -rc > > Your assuming that women in the middle east (at least in most > Muslim cultures) have the right to refuse.
