Iran has a female rally driver,
Saudi-arabia simply ban’s women from driving.
(punished by x lashes of a wip – not making this up!)

that’s just one example.

Western propaganda against Iran has been relentless in my lifetime.
The lies are so obvious, but most baby-boomers continue to believe all that they are told. Two key misinformation points: women are treated poorly in all mid-east countries and that Iran is determined to build nukes and threaten the west. We could talk about how women are routinely raped and sexually harassed in the US military, or about US weapons proliferation. My own mother buys into the fear and hate Iran that she has seen repeatedly on TV.
I tell her not to believe what the TV news says, and she tells me not to believe everything that I read on the internet. I feel that this is representative of the diverging mind-sets between the baby-boomers and those born later.
Do the Saudi’s treat their women so much better than across the gulf?
You don’t here the same outrage directed at them though, do you. I suspect Iranian women are better off than S.Arabian women.

perhaps it may be said that the president was making a logical extension of muslim principles critical of proselytizing. A conversion based on intimidation/force is indeed worthless (inquisition/litmus test). So he is not necessarily being “modern” or bowing to potential western criticism, but instead is remaining true to his religion.

Christian missionaries, stalkers, carrot and stick cultural/territorial imperialists who operate the sword to bible to charity crumbs (from what they stole) scheme, take heed. all religions should be subject to scrutiny based on acts outside professed ideals, including islam in its various forms. The president of Iran seems to be doing just that. What a guy.

You won’t see this in the mainstream media…
