I understand that Saudis sometimes exaggerate applying some Islam practices like covering up the face and women driving, but... but... the woman in Islam must not leave without her husbands or father and the guardian in general permission, and this is mandatory in Islam not in Saudi culture my brother, this is not slavery at all, I can't let my wife leave alone to a distant place for her own safety.
Guys, I can understand non-Muslims critisim but it's absurd to see Muslims criticize it, this is Islam, commit to it or just leave it, not to make it suit your own thoughts and beliefs.
I have noticed this allot, non-Arab who don't understand Arabic inserted many of their cultural beliefs into it, and it's even getting worse. I know that some Arabs did that and they are a minority, but you will never understand Quraan or Hadiths perfectly if you don't understand Arabic, I read Arabic Ayats and the best translations available and they are not the same 100%, it's so beautiful and clear if you read it in Arabic.
What I am saying is that I hope people here leave us practice Islam the way it has always been for 1400 years. You guys do whatever you want, it's your own business but keep your beliefs away from us.
Eventually, no one is perfect, don't ever learn Islam from the way people act or practice, Quraan firstly and Sahih Hadiths secondly are your only preferences. I know I am not perfect myself.
