Go girls! Saudi women are demanding the right to drive despite the religious bigots who want to keep them off the road. It's not the law that says women can't drive in Saudi Arabia. It's conservative Islam.
So it's great to see the girls fighting back, demanding their government challenges the strict rules that force women to get permission from a man to work, study, marry and even have some forms of surgery.
Our own religious leaders will no doubt be backing them, writing long letters of support in their luxurious palaces, then sitting back to enjoy a good lunch.Things are different over here, they would claim.
Really? Then why do they say that women bishops need a male co-bishop, just to keep everyone happy in areas where the Christians are anti-women. How hypocritical is that? Rev Rose Hudson-Wilkin said: "As a Church we either have women bishops or we do not. No woman in their right mind will accept being a bishop under these conditions. They are starting from the premise that women are a problem. We are not a problem." Absolutely Amen to that.
