It's almost like a slightly more civilized form of ISIS that the rest of the world continues to buy and sell from knowing all the civil rights abuses.

Maybe next century they will let women ride bicycles, or show their ankles.

ps. BTW did that reporter seriously just report a woman's name, age and city, who SECRETLY told she has driven against the law? Gee what could possibly become of that in Saudi Arabia. That's responsible journalism.

Apart form the flippant tone I'm not sure why you got downvoted, that's pretty much a good tongue-in-cheek description of saudi arabia.

Frankly if they where not sat on top of a lot of oil they'd be seen as backwards pariah's.
