[quote=Anonymous][quote=Muslima]Saudi Arabia?? That's the best you can come up with? For your information, I do not think Saudi Arabia is a "Muslim" Country. It is a "muslim-majority" country. The women's rights issues in Saudi Arabia are issues of a nation (of man), not of a religion. Islam commands men to women with the utmost respect, whether or not the laws are followed has nothing to do with the religion itself. Of course, under dictatorship rulings , in most of the Muslim majority countries neither men nor women had the right to vote for a long time. I repeat, Islam gave women the right to vote over 1400 years ago, it is a fact! You are doing a wonderful job confusing ISLAM with MUSLIMS. You think 1400 years ago, people lined up with ballots to cast their votes? How do you think  they used to do it back in the day??? Since I don't want us to go on and about for 20 pages about Muslim Women voting rights  which of course makes you pause since in your world such oppressed creatures could really not have  this right 1400 years ago when in the US we only got that right like in 1920, I will go against my best judgment and try to "enlighten" you  because clearly, i want to move on.....

Of course, we did much better than Saudi Arabia. You just chose to ignore it.

So, since you brought it up yourself, let's return to this. Please explain to us, Muslima, your claim from yesterday at 15:19, where you said that the US, which granted voting rights in 1920,  lagged far behind Muslim countries in granting voting rights to women women. But the link below shows Turkey, under pro-western Attaturk, was the first non-Communist, majority Muslim country to grant voting rights to women in 1930. In 1945, Senegal and Indonesia (both still colonies) became the 2nd and 3rd Muslim-majority states to grant voting rights to women.

So, explain why we shouldn't write this off as just another one of your little whoppers.
