Dear Editor,
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has taken steps to allow women to drive.
While this is a monumental step forward for women's rights in the country, this only follows in the vein of what Muhammad sought to bring about 1400 years ago. The Arabia of his time was violently anti-woman. Muhammad ended the barbaric practice of female infanticide. He gave women the right to property and inheritance. He brought about women's rights in marriage and in society at large. He went so far as to say that, "Paradise lies under the feet of your mother" (Ibj Majah).
As a member of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community and an American, I routinely benefit from the countless freedoms provided in this nation. Thus we encourage Saudi Arabia to continue marching towards a truly Islamic society in which all citizens are equal.
