Husein Shubukshi thinks the latest statement against women’s driving lacked decency and was impolite because it despised those who approved the right of women to drive, including many of scholars and citizens of Muslim World.

I have asked if we needed another King Faisal, and now Abeer Mishkhas asks if we need a referee.

Roba on jealousy. An emotional post, filled with ture feelings.
