Sheik Jum'a Tawfiz Jum'a: With regard to [wife] beating... The husband is not in a karate club or in a boxing club with his wife. In addition, the beatings must not cause broken bones, bleeding, or cuts, and must not leave marks. It is light beating, which makes the wife feel the extent of the anger or sorrow in this man's heart. Some people say that this beating is uncivilized. I say to them that since it appears in the Koran â?? beware of defying what appears in the Koran. Beatings are indispensable. Beatings are not restricted to wives. The Prophet Muhammad told us that a son... He said: "Teach your sons how to pray until the age of seven, and beat them until the age of ten, if they don't [pray]." What is the purpose of the beatings here? If it had no benefit, the Prophet Muhammad would not have mentioned it, because he speaks not of his own mind, and everything he says is a revelation. This appears in a hadith, which some might claim is unreliable and so on â?? although it is authentic â?? but what can be said when [it appears] in the Koran itself? The Koran is the book sent down by Allah, and falsehood does not come anywhere near it. In this book, Allah explained the guidelines of life to us all, and in it, he said: "and beat them."

Saudi Intellectuals Discuss Whether Women Should Be Allowed to Drive

http://www.memritv.org/Transcript.asp?P1=1475

Intisar Falamban, road safety department: "In my opinion, women driving... I am not demanding that women be allowed to drive at present. My focus – not just as the head of the women's affairs committee - to protect our children from car accidents."

One of the women at my work commented:

"I have a perfect argument. women are better drivers.

have you ever seen a man who can put makup on while going 80 miles an hour?

I rest my case"

I really don't feel like a right-wing partisan hack when I think something like "these guys really sound like they practice an outdated 7th century belief system".
