I am officially obsessed with her case, it's going out of control, I might need to go to rehab.
I spend my entire day on twitter and facebook waiting for updates, last night I saw the twitter notification bar in a dream, and I am using 2 laptops to keep up with the case.
If you couldn't already tell, yes I am with women driving, and I have been always a big supporter of the idea, but now I believe in it ever more firmly.
I am not a legal expert by any mean but from what I read on different publications, her arrest doesn't hold any legal grounds, and you can make you're own researches and I am sure you'll get to the same conclusion I have.
Initiating women to drive is not Manal only accomplishment, She graduated high school 3rd in Mecca, graduated college with honor, was part of a basketball championship team, and the only woman in the world to earn an ISO certificate in information security .
Manal has been sentenced for 5 days in jail, and tomorrow will be her last day, but no one knows if you'll be released but I hope so.
The case is more complicated to be summarized in one post, and I'll try to post more details about the case, and how people are reacting to it.
Keep praying for her to return back to her home and her 5 years old sick boy, and beside her successful career she's a single mom.
What an amazing lady she is, people like her make me feel kind of ashamed to be a Saudi Male, a gender that have been oppressing women for so long, to the point that Saudi Arabia is the only country in the world that bans women from driving.
this is just an introductory post for hopefully more post expressing my own views regarding the matter and my arguments to people who oppose women driving.
