You are an entertaining and informative writer, I'm so glad I found this! <br />I believe that change cannot come from people who have no idea what the situation is here. It has to come from within Saudi Arabia itself. I feel sorry for those men who work really hard for a dream and cannot have it be fulfilled.<br />No one should be the spokesperson for Saudi women besides the Saudi women themselves. I hope that if THEY ever want to join the Olympics that they will find a voice to fight for it in due time.The Burdened Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10242884415134576664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6197893319710396244.post-28518409002251665812010-07-14T07:11:57.644-07:002010-07-14T07:11:57.644-07:00Excellent post!

Regardless of who is calling for the threat of a ban to encourage Saudi women in the Olympics, if it results in a Saudi woman participating willingly when she otherwise couldn't have, then I'm for it.Nikhileshnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6197893319710396244.post-12194305367226513212010-07-10T19:33:46.270-07:002010-07-10T19:33:46.270-07:00Excellent essay.

I suppose there are worse things in the world than the Olympics committee, but I get really weary of the way the Olympics portrays itself as a Great Coming Together of Humanity Through Athletics.<br /><br />Speaking of the lady who beat up the virtue cop, do you happen to know what happened to her? The original article got carried by quite a few news outlets, but I never saw any follow-up about the story. I heard the police in the area were preparing a statement, and some women interviewed about it were concerned she would be arrested, but that was it.Splitting Imagenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6197893319710396244.post-44090125856376273352010-07-10T09:41:27.941-07:002010-07-10T09:41:27.941-07:00Superb refreshing & cheerful summer article , ...Superb refreshing & cheerful summer article , but Olymics is not yet on top priority agenda for Saudi women even Arab women other than couples from North African Arab countries .
