[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I grew up in Saudi Arabia many years ago and yes women walked down the street unaccompanied, but of course fully veiled. you would even see women (usually with a baby) begging at street corners. Women walk alone in the street all the time in Egypt, North Africa, and the Levantine countries. Prior to the rise of Islamic fundamentalism the vast majority did not cover up, but that has changed and many now wear hijab. Women also drive unaccompanied in those latter countries.[/quote] I performed Hajj several years ago and even in Mecca women were walking unaccompanied, with their husbands, or their children, or with other women. I saw them shopping in the malls alone too. Distinctly remember one veiled Arab woman buying extraordinary jewelry in the mall there, all by herself. [/quote] I don't know why "even in Mecca". Mecca has always been a pretty libertine place by the standards of the Arabian peninsula. [/quote]
