Saudi women threaten breast-feeding revolt

The world’s strangest revolt may soon see Saudi women burning their breast pumps.
The Los Angeles Times ran this story originally, and you’re going to have to read it there, because it’s not possible to summarize in any manner that makes sense, as far as I can see.
But the gist is this: One of those clerics we’re always hearing about has issued a fatwa that urges Saudi women to share their breast milk with foreigners, because it would provide a means to bypass a stricture against the mixing of the sexes. Breastfeeding would create a familial bond, even a symbolic one, thus making the mingling kosh…well, let’s call it acceptable.
I know, I know: “Whaaaa?”
But strange as that is, it’s just the start. The real story is that Saudi women have seized on the fatwa as a way to campaign against a ban that prevents them from driving cars. According to the Times, “If they’re not granted the right to drive, the women are threatening to breastfeed their drivers to establish a symbolic maternal bond.”
You can’t make this stuff up folks.

This might be something to look forward too. 😉
Grace … the taking of the breast milk, according to the lunatic clerics, is not for foreigners but for their own Saudi men…. so if women are working with men in close proximity to each other, then the women would have to feed those men around them with the breast milk. Madness from the muzzies as usual.
And how is Islam NOT insane, exactly?
Each and every year, we see more examples of the utter weirdness and stupidity from their leaders that it boggles the mind that anyone would take this ideology seriously.
If it weren’t for the dead and mutilated bodies that Islam leaves behind, this would be satire almost worthy of Monty Python. But even that troupe of writers would have more taste than those idiots in Saudi Arabia and other places in the Muslim world.
