Now that women are allowed to drive cars in Saudi Arabia, let's take a moment and look back at this unbelievable tweet by an Islamic cleric
Saudi King Salman on Tuesday,
ordered that women be allowed to drive cars, ending the conservative
kingdom's status as the only country where that is forbidden.
The royal decree ordered the formation of a ministerial body to give advice within 30 days and then implement the order by June 2018, according to state news agency SPA.
The kingdom, which announced the change was the only the
country in the world to bar women from
driving and for years had
garnered negative publicity internationally for detaining women who
defied the ban.
Last year a Saudi cleric took to Twitter to explain why it's sinful for women to drive.
"When a woman is driving, she's exposed to vibrations, this
shakes her vagina, she will feel sexual euphoria and this is haraam" he
wrote.
