I felt really strange reading all this. For I do not know how to react. Anyway the picture shown reflects the true image.

City, Hi. First of all, I think that when someone is raised to believe this way and they spend their entire life covered, it is very uncomfortable to be otherwise; this is a certain group of women. The women riding like animals in the back of the trunk are most likely these kind of women.

In addition, if I were to go to the Kingdom, I'd wear the most severe of hijab because I would not want to be grabbed and thrown into a car or something. While I do have very dark hair, my skin is extremely fair and it would most definitely be noticeable.

That being said, there is another group... these elite are the same women that go into the airplane restroom when the flight leaves SA and come out with designer duds and a boatload of makeup and the stench of far too much perfume. The ritual reverses on the flight going back.

Cut their right hand... and these women will still get used to it.

It's what it is - being used to it - nothing about being right !

And of course, there is air-conditioned everywhere where well-to-do people live but check a little bit more at the side of the big boulevards. Their own newspapers report on that kind of misery...

I checked on this particular reporter: she's well known in India. At the same time looks like she received an assignment and she responded to it. Nothing more. Was she paid for it ? We can only assume.
