I can never replace him. But thank you for a very kind compliment.

He was(is) a fine writer and thinker; he helped me to remember that arabs are people when the actual muttawah were trying to convince me otherwise. Yes, you are the best replacement for his work, although you've never written a page like the Love Letter to Madam Nicotine (sigh, made me want to start smoking).

I don't want to discuss it any further on my blog, however. Regardless, any sites that are blocked for her are blocked for me - and there are many. If I can get to The Religious Policeman, she can too. And if it is not blocked, then it is okay for her to see it. Trust me. The Powers That Be Here BLOCK anything they don't think we should see! She can't have a whole lot more restrictions than I do - but for the fact that her life, if she is single, is a lot more difficult than mine as a married woman. If she is married, then she and I are in the very same boat.Sabrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00099972141312539283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29282508.post-74621015895076467682008-10-26T15:24:00.000+03:002008-10-26T15:24:00.000+03:00I'm learning a lot here. and thanks for the link t...I'm learning a lot here. and thanks for the link to the religious policeman. That's also an amazing site and very informative. Dare i send it to my friend in Saudi or would it cause her problems.

Not that I support either of those two groups in the States - they have both got their priorities totally backward, but I understand what you're saying. Do you wear your abeya in Oman? Is it an option? I like your suggestion though, getting all the women together and burning them - although it will NEVER happen. I hesitate to think what would happen to the husbands [although on the "plus" side there would be fewer husbands since so many of them have more than one wife], and even much worse, what would happen to the wives of those husbands afterward.Sabrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00099972141312539283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29282508.post-54834295573641017732008-10-26T08:16:00.000+03:002008-10-26T08:16:00.000+03:00When I read your posts, I can't help but wonder wh...When I read your posts, I can't help but wonder why there is no women's movement in Saudi.<BR/><BR/>Saudi women should get together and burn their abaya's as a big fuck you to TPTB.<BR/><BR/>It would be like grassroots feminism in the 60's.<BR/><BR/>Seriously, if enough women got together, what would the cops do? Throw them all in jail? No... they would hrow their husbands in jail for having such dissident wives.<BR/><BR/>Lovely.Angry In Omanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01839427467850536469noreply@blogger.com
