Saudi Gentility


The Guardian reports that things are status quo in Saudi Arabia. At a cultural festival earlier this year, the Saudi ban on female drivers was extended to include golf carts. This took place at the Janadriya Heritage and Cultural Festival , which the Saudis use to promote their hospitality, gentility and cultural diversity. During the first twelve days of the festival men were permitted to use carts. However, the last three days were reserved for women and the carts were withdrawn.

It seems hospitality and gentility still are not extended to females (not to mention Jewish reporters) in the kingdom of Mohammed's bobbleheads. Primitive is too kind of a word to describe these neanderthals.
