Here we go again. Two women have been arrested in Saudi Arabia for the crime of driving.

Seriously?

Yeah: only in Saudi Arabia. But, why?

We all know Saudi women (and girls) who have driven cars in the kingdom — albeit on “private property”. That is, the female offspring of royalty have been driving cars, jeeps, motorcycles (whatever) on their families’ estates for decades.

To get to the basics: there’s no prohibition in the Qu’ran against women drivers. All other countries (Muslim-majority included) permit both sexes to drive.

It’s time for Saudi Arabia to drop this farcical prohibition.
