Saudi Arabia is reportedly banning women from going to the gym (yes, I mean banning them from going to women-only gyms) because, the inevitable clerics say, they are places of “shamelessness”.
What rot. If you’ve spent any time at a gym working hard, you know they are places of shame. I am routinely humiliated there myself. Sometimes, I don’t do pushups right. Other times, it’s my leg-raises that stink. I only rarely manage graceful spinning kicks. Yet I keep going and keep improving regardless, and good luck to any cleric who’d try to bar my way (my palm strikes are a thing of beauty, if I say so myself).








This is quite hilarious. Saudi Arabia for the triviality of their laws, and Brigitte for picking up on the irony.
Do you really expect anything that makes sense to us to come out of ANY Islamic country? They have a totally different outlook on life, and just thank God I wasn’t born there.
Some (misguided) people try to claim that “Allah” is the same as the person we call God, Jahveh if you like. But it states in the mosque with the golden dome in Jerusalem that “Allah has NO son.” Case closed.
