Saudi woman denied ambulance, dies due to lack of male companion


The death of an ailing woman student at a Saudi university has stirred controversy on social media after an ambulance was denied access under the conservative Muslim kingdom's segregation laws. Amna Bawazeer, 24, died of a heart attack in the compound of the social sciences faculty of Riyadh's King Saud University.

Perhaps it is time for the planet to jettison bronze and iron age religions and their superstitions, irrational beliefs, and prejudices?

Oh wait, I didn't. Perhaps you should answer #7, as it was you who proposed that I proposed to jettison something, from an airplane or a ship it seems.

But speaking of airplanes, what's the vector victor?

Equally absurd things easily considered "dark age thinking."

I'm really just noting the hypocrisy in such a statement.
