It appears more and more ridiculous news is coming out of Saudi Arabia these days. A week or so back a Sheikh from Saudi Arabia stated that he wanted all newborn females to wear a full face veil. Now he states that this is to prevent female sexual assault and keep them safe. even the people in Saudi Arabia think this is ridiculous. The fact that this man is basically preventing and child to family interaction is bad enough but the fact that it is just another thing to add to the regulations women must follow. It seems that even though there are many in Saudi Arabia who are trying to open doors for women, many are trying to keep shutting them. Although this may have initially been of good intentions, it has now just added onto the issues with women in Saudi Arabia that already exist. Like adding lighter fuild to a fire, targetting children may have been the worst possible thing they could have done.
