@Sonia Peters women are not suffering because of islam but they are actually suffering because of people who do not follow the true Islam.True Isam is all about love,acceptance and unity.Allah loves women,that is why he has implemented rules in islam which protects women.Women has a high esteem in islam.In islam, women,especially mothers are considered as an important figure which can lead a child to paradise. Women are encouraged to wear hijab in islam in order to protect them from vicious and pervert men as men are mostly attracted to the hair. In islam, a man is responsible for caring for his wife,daughter and other family members.Hence, what Im trying to say is that women are considered as significant beings inIslam

Their mother traded their freedom to herself. queen is a leader and she wanted to be like young woman can travel and do whatever she want to do, she don't care about her kingdom, her people and her own children. Very selfies woman !!

[@inetabaltutyte8476]

@@andiaurelie5199 yes, of course it's the mother's fault!! These women are held by their own father and how dare the mother want to have a normal life! She wants freedom and wants to travel...? Maybe she would rather be with her kids and just doesn't want to be treated as a second class citizen while around her family?

[@andiaurelie5199]

Ineta and Archie the rules of kingdoms around the world are same including all kingdoms in Europe. Even king are not allowed to travel without permission/ Guardian of the authorities. Since 30 years ago we see how those Medias attacking the British royals in UK so no wonder if those Medias know everything about the royals life who they never meet or landed at their kingdoms. on the interview the former Queen and her kids talked about during she become Queen 1- she can't always travel for holiday. At least she have been travel. I mean clearly she is ungrateful ! 2- One of her kids suffered of anorexia but her kids also said they can go shopping but the bodyguard is always around them. Royal everywhere r same u can't leave 100M from house without bodyguards. 3- her kids said all of them before work but they violated the law so they can't work anymore, they r lucky if they r not princess maybe will be jailed. 4- their kids said their live are change since their mother run to UK. Ofc this the consequences if u have been a leader of the kingdom then suddenly run to other kingdom and collaborate with the criminal Medias who always against ur own kingdom since 70 years ago. So she is so lucky if she was American or Russian she will be killed since long time ago or sleep in the Guantanamo for the rest of her life. In the history king abdullah is the best king in Saudi Arabia. Till now all Saudis men and women missing him especially the youth their greatly admire king abdullah

[@andiaurelie5199]

Savina Bees the 4 princess and her mother has violated dozen of the kingdom laws, the former Queen is not just betrayed her husband but also violated the law by collaboration with foreign medias who against the kingdom since decades ago. Prison and palace is totally different. They living in palace with dozens of maid the only thing they can't do is travel. They still can go shopping, meet with their relative etc. If they are ordinary Saudis citizen they will be jailed 15-20 years for being a rebel and leaking secret country lucky their brothers still have powers so when their father pass away the authorities do not keep them in prison.

A human should not ask for freedom was last thought as I missed NOT. 😬

[@wTrevorh]

Briony Toop ...because freedom is never free. In a perfect world, it would be. But, the world as we know it is imperfect. There are men and women in various parts of the world who are living under oppression right this moment. Again, freedom is never free. It takes a lot of sacrifice to live in security and freedom, regardless if you're a man or a woman. By the way, there are many Saudi Women who completely embrace leaders like the women's late father and the rest of the family. Unfortunately, those women were born into a very patriarchal Islamic culture. Not to mention, they're looked upon as upstarts and rebels. That type of value system isn't going to be easy to get out of. Their mother has shown her face on other programs I've seen. She lives in England now. Some things can be changed, others--unfortunately--can't. Let's count our blessing.

[@wTrevorh]

Briony Toop That's exactly why my response was as it is. I wanted you to see beyond the narrow scope of feminism and more from a cultural and sociological standpoint. If you only see the issue from "a woman's point of view" you're likely to miss the full picture. The issue the princesses face is beyond their mere womanhood; it's values-driven, religion-driven, nation-driven, familial, and deeply rooted in the issue of their (non) allegiance to king and country. Only when you choose to see beyond the feminist prism, could you begin to understand the full story of these princesses' situation. Thanks for the response. ;' .

But Jesus christ came to set free from every bondages & bring peace of God above human understanding. Jesus said; Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. (John 14:27) Religion leads to hell, but Jesus saves from hell. For “whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.” (Romans 10:13) The Lord says, “I will rescue those who love me. I will protect those who trust in my name. When they call on me, I will answer; I will be with them in trouble. I will rescue and honor them. I will reward them with a long life and give them my salvation.” (Psalm 91:14-16)

Such a shame that people can't see the inherent beauty and commonality in all religions. Jesus message of compassion and unity for all people, and "Love one another." is one of the most beautiful we have in our world today.

I lived in Jeddah near this compound for 9 years in the 80's and drove by it almost daily. I knew that a princess and her children lived here. The place was lit up at night like a stadium and the perimeter was always guarded. I never knew that this would be the fate of the daughters. It is disheartening and disgraceful. However, they touched on a point that is sadly true. It is not 'just' them but many women suffer this same kind of fate. It is not only men that suppress women - there is just as much oppression that comes from other women. It is sad that in a country where women are educated and have such potential to contribute to their society are instead held back. Any woman that tries to actually use her education must fight for her dignity and respect. I learned Arabic as I wanted to understand the ideals of the people I was living among. It is a complicated society - no doubt. I do not advocate a mirror of Western society for Saudi Arabia as this is an ignorant notion. However, change must come to the Kingdom from the royals and from the society at large. It is incumbent upon all to participate in that change for the better of all of its people of which women... are people. I wish for these women and all women of Saudi Arabia to see a productive freedom in their lives as they have much to offer to their families and their society.

[@lt6573]

So sooo sad 😣😓 Sending prayers out for their safety and hopefully freedom someday from this oppression and disgusting abuse and control!!

[@FZahra-is3tu]

I am a Muslim woman myself, from Iraq/India. Sometimes i wonder at how free women are in my homelands, the respect & education we recieve is unreal. Women are the Queens of the household. Also living in Britain, is something i am ever so greatful for, the oppurtunities i have found in this country by the grace of God are amazing. These are lands in which women are given a voice, look at these Saudi's oppressing their talented daughters, wives & sisters. Saudi declares unity with the free states of America yet their women are hidden and oppressed behind the dark walls of the palaces. God curse these Saudi's, hypocrites to the Muslim faith!

[@ivangartenhaus4276]

Nice, Saudi Arabia is a real problem in the world today. Someone must do something about that place. If someone could capture that place , free their women , take their oil and establish a democracy, that would be something.

[@Hamidagoodgirl677]

Those girls are truly brave, intelligent, Beautiful, if they can fight for the poor abuse arabic nation, Sure they can bring changes to the Country, While they are sufuring from their own Daddy abused Power kingdom. Allah be with them where ever they at, along with their beautiful Sweet Mother.

Smh hope these two women are ok man it’s 2021 an I’m just here about this now we barely hearing about another princess in the kingdom

[@Besignificant]

I am a woman who had lived and worked in the Middle East and have come to Saudi, I want to say that what you heard from the two princesses of women rights in Saudi is truth. This can be realized from the moment you arrive at the airport. I admired the two princesses for the courage to tell the truth. The desire to have the right to live like everyone else, have a job, a family is the fundamental right of every human being. I hope that an organization or government that will stand up to rescue the princesses escape confinement situation. The princesses are beautiful women, educated, independent-thinking, and do not depend on the conservative Saudi regime. Please maintain the spirit and flight for your rights.

Why is everyone talking about Islam? Religion doesn't even come into this. In fact, Kings aren't even allowed in Islam.

[@spiritfired]

ThaThree You idiot. Kings and religious leaders of the higher orders are IMMUNE to religious persecution!!

[@ThaThree]

No it's not. Just because some REALLY BAD 'followers' commit these atrocities, doesn't mean it's related to Islam and it isn't.

[@ThaThree]

Don't swear at me I've done nothing to you. Islam promotes peace it's just that some so called 'followers' aren't portraying the correct meaning of Islam. I'm sorry if people of my religion have hurt you but I can assure you Islam is a religion of peace but people don't always follow the beliefs as they should.

[@ThaThree]

So... do I seem like an arrogant jerk to you? :( Being arrogant is not acceptable in Islam. It's just that there's a lot of culture unfortunately mixed up into the lives of Muslims. This influences them into behaving away from the ideal. I do not support ISIS btw and over 90 percent do not either. I think you must live in a bad location man, I honestly do. Muslims where I'm from do not fit your description in the slightest. You may believe Islam is defective and you are entitled to your opinion, the reality is that it is people who are defective!

[@davidevans2810]

ThaThree I don't know if you are or not, but I'll try again: Many Christians, Jews and Muslims seem extremely Arrogant to me. That thing about not making pictures of Mohammed because of "over worship" or idolatry, but then naming every third child Mohammed is still doing that very sin. Then people named Mohammed want to get all holier than thou when someone draws pictures of Mohammed--and each one is a freaking hypocrite without wisdom. Literally, if you're named "Mohammed" you need to shut the f' up about folks drawing pics of the prophet and ask your parents about their idolatry. If they are mocking Islam, they sure as shit are not "Idolating", why attack??? Cartoonists have committed no sin, they aren't even Muslim. And a "peaceful religion" bans any and all holy texts not Islam. Why? Why do Muslims have such a difficult time practicing their religion without also needing the government to be Muslim as well and literally ban other religions? Why are Muslims also always "separatists"???
