They are saying that the Saudis are giving the women a right to vote.
It is kind of shameful that it took them this long to give women just a tiny bit of freedom to exercise their Islamic rights.
Overall the Saudi religious authority is very ignorant of Islamic laws. Most of their Islamic laws are hateful and discriminative towards women and people of other sects.
Salam alaikum aunty,
ReplyDeleteAren't you being a bit emotional? How did voting in a national election turn into an islamic or non islamic issue, and so how is it related to women's "Islamic rights"? Have you ever been to, let alone lived and worked, in Saudi (or other mideast countries)? I have, and women are treated VERY VERY WELL over there. The only discrimination is against non Arabs (including in Bahrain, by the Bahraini shias against non arab shias as well).
As for saudis being ignorant of Islamic laws, they have their fiqh and we have ours hence the differences. It's not a case of ignorance.
Anyway, women are very highly respected and honored in tashayyu BUT it does NOT support feminism.
Read this with an unbiased, cool and rational mind without unnecessarily losing your temper:

ReplyDeleteBhooka,
Nice to see you around. Thank you for leaving a comment.
This comment deserves a whole new post by itself. Lol…wait for it!
Btw, I am trying to follow your blog but I don’t see the blogger toolbar on top of your blog. Where did it go? I have added a number of Shii blogs on my followed list. But I can’t seem to do with yours.
Thank you aunty, I were afraid that you would get offended and angry, but good to see your read the comment calmly.
ReplyDeleteI read the mideast rant post, although tbh it doesn't really answer much, but I guess that's because it's just supposed to be a rant perhaps.
As for following the blog, I'm a bit confused now. I did remove the default blogger toolbar on top of my blog because it seemed ugly to me, but I don't understand how you follow the blog through it because even on your blogger toolbar I don't see an option to follow the blog on it. Or am I completely missing something?
If you go to my blog (http://realtashayyu.blogspot.com), and scroll down a bit then on the left side there is an option for "Follow by Email". I don't know if that's what you're looking for.

No, that isn't what I am looking for. I think you have removed the banner (didn't even know it could be done).
ReplyDeleteThe banner is like a toolbar. It has options to follow, share, report and go to the next blog. When I visit a blog, I have the above option available on the toolbar. When I click on the follow, I become the reader of the blog. I have added 6 blogs to my reading list.
But when I go to your blog, I don't see the toolbar so I cannot add you to my blog/news reader program. The follow by email is too much work for me; I can just go to your blog with one click.
Please try to get it back because apparently that is the only way to follow a blog!
Alright, I used to think that the "banner/toolbar" (it's actually called a navbar) is just useless and ugly, but I now noticed that if you're signed in to your blogger account and go to a blog then the navbar shows the "follow" button. However, it's only visible if you're signed in to your blogger account. Since I never read a blog while signed in (I only sign in to my blogger account when making a new post) that's why the follow button was never visible to me and I used to think it's useless (I also found out that it's illegal as per Blogspot's TOS to remove the navbar).
ReplyDeleteSo basically now I've reintroduced the navbar on my blog. But I've moved it to the bottom instead of the top (otherwise I'd have to mess around with my current blog design) and it's invisible by default, but becomes visible when the user hovers the mouse at the bottom (one doesn't need to scroll down to the bottom of the blog, just hover at the bottom of the browser screen, usually above the status bar).
So anyway aunty, thank you very much for indirectly teaching me something new and preventing me from doing something illegal.
Wassalam
Thanks. I have added your blog in my list of blogs to watch/follow.
