Saudis and women

Tasha Kheiriddin in today's National Post credits Saudi Arabia for giving women a municipal vote in 2015. Hello? That is 4 years from now, giving the Saudis lots of time to change their minds. It is such a small step. It is like applauding an alcoholic for saying he will start drinking at 8:00 a.m. instead of at 7:00 a.m. in four years. A real step forward is taking a positive step now. The Saudis have done nothing except look for sympathy. Let's not applaud them for it. Let's continue to tell them that their moral standards and customs are inferior to ours - that's right, much of their morals and culture is inferior to that of the "infidels".
