From Fox News: Saudi activists say a court has sentenced a Saudi woman with 10 lashes for defying the kingdom's ban on women driving.
Activist Samar Badawi says Shaima Ghassaniya was found guilty Tuesday of driving without the government's permission.
No laws prohibit women from driving, but conservative religious edicts have banned it.
The ruling comes just two days after Saudi King Abdullah announced that, for the first time, women have the right to vote and run in the country's 2015 local elections.
Najalaa Harriri, who is also facing court for driving, told The Associated Press she needed to drive to take better care of her children.

This poor lady is sentenced to 10 painful lashes just because she broke the Islamic rule of women not allowed to drive. And Islam is supposed to be taken seriously when they abuse women like this?
I honestly don't know of another religion that abuses women as bad as Islam.
