I'm curious to know how a religion founded some 12 centuries before the invention of the combustion engine managed to come up with a rule about women driving automobiles, but there you go. Allah moves in mysterious ways.

Apparently one of Saudi's influential imams felt driving might damage their ovaries.
Which is, I suppose, the biggest issue with Muslims and their integration with the West. The degree to which men who spend decades sat in a room reading the Koran then become influential members of their communities/towns/cities/countries.
I suppose we will know in about 30-40 years if this continues to be an issue in Europe.
Where a religion is also the source of temporal law, there is virtually no way of separating a religious community from the teachers of the religion, so I'm guessing it will continue.
And in 30-40 years' time, I'm afraid it'll be too late to do anything about it. We'll be fücked.
