Let's welcome Saudi Arabia to the 21th Century.

Because they refused to allow their women go naked and having strip clubs around means they are archaic?
Saudi arabia is one of most developed country in terms of modernity,but not to the detriment of their morality.
And I don't expect you to understand.

Saudi at the verge of collapse
Re: Saudi Arabia Starts Issuing Drivers Licence To Women by almakiyyun(m): 10:04pm On Jun 04, 2018
[quote author=KingOfAmebo post=68179683]RIYADH: It is a monumental moment in the history of Saudi Arabia, and a video capturing the first time a driving license has been issued to a female in the Kingdom has gone viral.
The video shows the woman, who already has an international driving license, being given her Saudi license by General Directorate of Traffic (GDT) officials, as per regulations allowing her to drive in the Kingdom.

“Thousands ofr congratulations to the daughters of the homeland, being issued the first license in Saudi Arabia,” the tweet containing the video by @saudalzmanan read.

The GDT has now started replacing women’s Kingdom-approved foreign driving licenses with Saudi ones.

After confirming the validity of foreign licenses submitted via an online portal, and assessing applicants’ ability to drive by conducting a practical test, the first group of women received their Saudi licenses on Monday.

On May 8 it was announced by the General Department of Traffic Director General Mohammed Al-Bassami that Saudi women would be allowed to start driving in the kingdom from June 24.

“All the requirements for women in the kingdom to start driving have been established,” Al-Bassami said in a statement.

Procedures to replace and obtain licenses for everyone are expected to be announced soon.
In September 2017, a royal decree announced the end of a decades-long ban on women driving — the only one of its kind in the world.

Five Saudi universities have launched driving schools for women: Princess Nourah Bint Abdulrahman University in Riyadh, King Abdul Aziz University in Jeddah, Tabuk University, Taif University and Imam Muhammad ibn Saud Islamic University.

The Saudi Driving School, at Princess Nourah University, the first for women in the capital, was launched in partnership with the Emirates Driving Institute in Dubai, an established driving school in the region.

Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, 32, is seen as the force behind the lifting of the ban, part of a series of reforms being pushed by the Crown Prince.

His Vision 2030 reform plan for a post-oil era seeks to elevate women to nearly one-third of the workforce, up from about 22 percent now.

Re: Saudi Arabia Starts Issuing Drivers Licence To Women by mybestlove(m): 10:14pm On Jun 04, 2018
And the father of Islam is just waking up in the 21st century.

See how women are treated like objects just because of Islamic belief

And that is the culture they want us to copy in this century by spreading Islam in the country.

These people write from right to left which equals to moving from right to wrong.

Even women are not allowed to go to the stadium to watch sporting activities.

Disgustingly disgusting.

Now, to the topic ... this is a good development for the women, no more systematic cages, one day as well we would see a church or a budhist temple in Mecca and Medina too....

you should be ashamed of yourself for not thinking before typing ...

so you think Saudi is all about Muslims?

FYI they are Christians and even unbelievers in Saudi ..

its about culture and not Muslims ..

its not written in anywhere in the Qur'an that women shouldn't drive cars ..

and thirdly the level of development in that same Saudi Arabia , you may never witness it anywhere in YOUR LIFETIME!
