The great legitimacy of the Saudi regime: Female driving activist thanks king for ordering her release; vows not to drive again

Manal Al Sharif: “I would like to thank our leaders, on top of whom is the Custodian of the two Holy Mosques (King Abdullah) for their instructions to release me,” she said in comments carried by the London-based Saudi daily Alhayat.

“As for driving by women in Saudi Arabia, I will now leave this issue to our leaders who are more aware and better acquainted of its advantages and disadvantages…on this occasion, I would like to say that I will always be the Moslem Saudi woman who is keen to serve her country and satisfy her Lord.”
