Saudi Women Drivers

There is much hot  debate about women and driving in Saudi. First let us make it clear that the kingdom is controlled by the west with its oil and strange to wonder why Saudi is not one of the arab uprising countries?

Beneath all this however there are strong Muslim scholars who are trying to follow and implement Islam as it should be and following the Prophet SAW and the first three generations of Muslims. Why? The first three  had  the scholars, the disciples and their students who were with the Prophet SAW in his blessed lifetime, so the first three generations really are the ones with the authentic sources of Islamic knowledge and understanding and should be followed.
This to modern westerners in the 21st century and like wise to moderate Muslims is a bitter pill to swallow and these that I have mentioned fight hard in declaring that the arabs in Saudi are oppressing their women  in many areas, but the one I'm addressing here is regarding driving.
Why Saudi Women Cannot Drive
When I have given lectures, or workshops on Understanding Islam I have been asked the same points on why Saudi women don't drive or are not allowed to drive?.

Its very difficult for modern man ie western man to really understand about God and the limits to what he allows his creation to do and not do, if not religious, but a secularist, while here on earth, more so regarding morality issues.
Remember in the west, just as Obama spoke about last week while in London they believe freedom to do what they want including  fulfilling sexual desires , exposing body parts, all absolutely normal and this is as the west portray freedom for women, liberation. It also  allows the feminists and lesbian brigade to be very content, although they still complain when it comes to equal rights. This is because you cannot attain true equal rights in the west or east or south or north but only in the religion of Islam.
This  is connected with women driving or not as in Saudi.
Let us look at young girls in the west. Take any city New York, London, Rome, weekends its time for the young to come out to play and we are seeing more and more single girls on their own , in groups on the town . What are they doing? They are doing exactly the same as the boys, its called cruising the streets looking for pick me ups ie opposite sex, but also drugs. but to get to the towns what do they need? yes a car.
How many women honestly have we seen driving cars flaunting themselves when they near a traffic light to men? How many women wear skimpily clothes while driving? How many women put make up on while driving. The limits now according to Islam are reaching boundary point, or even past boundary point.
Ofcourse the young, free and single in the west, including the lesbian brigade, gays feminists and orientalists would disagree. I can see their point as well because this is the life that they only know and they think its very normal. The article on this for you to read takes the side from what I would call a moderate person. This allows two sides of the story to be told.
 How many young girls do you see walking and I laugh as they try and look sexy wearing the short skirt, but deep down know all men's tongues are hanging out, even in front of their girl friends and wife's, so what does she do? she tries pulling the skirt down, to cover herself up.
This  all has to do with why in Saudi the Muslim scholars will not allow women to drive. It creates or leads to corruption and fitnah.
I am including a clip also from the Saudi Scholars point of view.
