Surah al Baqarah speaks of "those who are killed in the way of Allah" and evokes a "great punishment" for "those who disbelieve". Do New Zealanders really deserve a great punishment because an Australian came to New Zealand and committed a mass murderer?
In Saudi Arabia, the good news is that in 2018, a few laws were changed to allow women to drive. The bad news is that women are still not allowed to travel, get married or divorced, file a police report, or even leave prison, without the permission of a male guardian. If they try to flee, they risk being arrested or killed. In November, "dozens" of activists involved in the "right to drive" campaign were arrested and are currently on trial. Apple and Google, in their app stores, offer a Saudi Arabian government app that "allows Saudi men to track women under their sponsorship."
