Muslim women's rights improve in Saudi Arabia, get worse in UK
The photo (from metro.co.uk) shows the first women's car agency in Saudi Arabia, where a Muslim saleswoman is showing a Muslim woman purchaser the workings of a car engine. The Holy Koran, it is believed by many, allows women to drive cars and this may soon be legal in Saudi Arabia.
On the other hand in the UK, women are often discouraged by the Government to marry before they have children, and they have done this by amending tax laws. To do so seems almost certainly to run against the Holy Book (and may Allah praise the Holy Book !) and to make it more difficult for Muslim women to have a good sex life. This also encourages use of the nicab in the UK when it is not normally worn and promotes controversy and even criminal violence. Women who are not Muslim find other problems in the UK such as the lack of adequate provision of vegetarian foods, essential for many Hindus, and often preferred by Muslims and others.
