The response to Maha Akeel's article that I posted is minimal, so far, but it is here. Either no outrage, or the Arab News editors are just being quite selective.

About Me
- Sabra
- Once upon a time, in the not too distant past, there was a Woman who thought she was living the American Dream. Her childhood, although now not particularly memorable, was fairly normal. She went to school. She got a job. She met a tall, blonde and handsome pilot and married him. It was all good. They were the perfect “Ken and Barbie” couple. The handsome pilot built her the house of her dreams in North Carolina, where she thought they would live for the remainder of their many, many days to come. Circumstances, totally out of the control of this lovely Ken and Barbie couple, changed everything. Shortly afterward, they came to find themselves living a whole new life in the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia. Oh, sure, they are still the perfect “Ken and Barbie” couple, but Barbie now wears an abeyah over her designer outfits when she leaves her house, she has given up her pink convertible because she is not allowed to drive, and she no longer has an office that she visits five days a week, instead choosing to spend her time as a stay-at-home wife and an over-protective, doting Mommy to their two absolutely adorable, much loved and very, very pampered four-legged “Kids.”
" A Muslim girl needs a Muslim boy. It is as simple as that." Yes, the comments section is full of deep, thoughtful truths.
ReplyDeleteI agree Vermindust - deep and thoughtful truths - but still leaves open for discussion why the issues are almost insurmountable for a non-Saudi man to marry a Saudi woman... The response "A Muslim girl needs a Muslim boy" misses the point, completely, but then I didn't expect any more than that.
