I've always known that most Pakistani Islamic scholars have below-average IQ, but I didn't know that Saudi mullahs were such morons. According to The Telegraph, London, academics at the Majlis al-Ifta' al-A'ala, which is Saudi Arabia's highest religious council, said the relaxation of the rules would inevitably lead to “no more virgins”. Just how would a woman lose her virginity if she were allowed to drive a car is not explained. All the scholars agreed that in those countries where women drove, promiscuity is rampant.
Moreover, the mullahs claimed, "allowing women to drive would "provoke a surge in prostitution, pornography, homosexuality and divorce". I don't think they meant male homosexuality, which has been practiced all over the world for thousands of years. As for pornography, it has probably been there since before homosexuality. If the mullahs meant "lesbianism" (female homosexuality), they didn't explain how driving by women would promote it. I wish they'd have been more explicit about this. I don't think female homosexuality has ever been a problem in the Muslim world. In all the Islamic literature I've read, I've never come across it. The reason could be that most Muslim women were married before puberty (this still happens in most parts of Pakistan and most Muslim countries). So even if there were lesbians, they'd have a tough time finding partners to satisfy themselves.
