"Instructions from the association’s “Department of Theology” insist that it is “not permissible” for a woman to go more than 48 miles – deemed to be the equivalent of three days walk - without her husband or a close male relative.
It also stipulates that men must grow beards and advises women to cover their faces."
I despair sometimes I really do. Assuming this report is legitimate our government should be stepping up their efforts to come down hard on this sort of announcement. Freedom to ridicule religion for the nonsense that it is should be encouraged.
