The Truth- Saudi Arabia's government is based on Wahabism- their laws are called ISLAMIC laws. Yes, Saudi Arabia does trample on human rights and call it Islam.
Iran is a religious country because the Mulla there have power much greater than the president himself but Saudi Arabia is not.
Saudi Arabia's government take the Quran and Sunnah as the main source of law but at the same time they attached their own rules as well because they are not like Iran.
By the way, What do you know about Wahabism?
Saudi Arabia considred as a new country, they are developing their system day after day and they are giving more right to women and you can check if you want the changes that happen in the Saudian community everyday in their newspaper.
Don't you know how long it takes to give right to women in USA or to the black people?
Give Saudi Arabia their time as well.
Funny, funny. All the women I've talked to from Saudi Arabia expressed a wish to be treated differently than a stupid, small child who needs to be constantly protected lest she have an independant thought.
I don't deny that women there miss alot of rights given to them in Islam but that doesn't mean the government there is bad, because it can't force a concept on people if they don't get it. The people in saudi arabia still part of their tribe life and the desert law and all what you hear is because of the community but not the government itself. I lived there for a while and i know them well. Nevertheless, as i said before, it's just a matter of time until women there can get their rights that God gave to them fully.
