Are the so-called “human rights” groups in the Western World, especially America, afraid to speak out about women’s rights in Muslim countries? Maybe they just don’t consider women as “human” enough?

I really don’t get it…

Let a palestinian be delayed for 5 minutes at an Israeli security checkpoint, designed to prevent innocent men, women and children from being brutally murdered…these human rights groups go in to a feeding frenzy…

But brutally surpress one-half of an entire population in Saudi Arabia…not a word…nada…no comment…


The government is said to be drafting new rules to permit female lawyers to argue family cases

Saudi could allow women lawyers in court: reports

Saudi Arabia could soon allow women lawyers to appear in court, though apparently only representing other women, the country’s justice minister said in comments published on Sunday.

Justice Minister Mohammed al-Issa said the ministry is drafting new rules to permit female lawyers to argue family cases, which could be passed soon, Saudi newspapers reported.

The women would be able to represent women in marriage, divorce, custody and other family cases, the newspapers said.

Female lawyers in the kingdom, where strict Islamic doctrine and shariah law have enforced separation of genders, can currently work only inside the women’s sections of law and government offices, where they do not come into contact with men.

All judges in the kingdom are male religious clerics.

As part of ongoing judicial reforms, the Saudi government is developing a network of specialised courts, including “personal status” or family courts, where the women lawyers would be allowed to practice.
