A Saudi girl group that dares to Rock

Good for them. I hope no evil befalls them.

...and Tachyon Shield, you're dead wrong. Have you no intestinal fortitude? Tyranny must always be opposed and resisted with any means at people's disposal. Valuing your life above your freedom is cowardice in its purest form.

You just did not understand my post AT ALL.

These women are doing NOTHING to oppose tyranny, they're just going to get themselves killed and when they do get killed they won't be martyrs like everyone would hope they'll be a successful message to other women that if they try to make a stand they will be put down.
These women need to back off and help organise a proper resistance instead of practising suicide and ruining any real chance of other women starting a proper uprising.

Standing up and doing something against tyranny in-of itself is opposing it.

Sitting down and saying "we can't be who we are or do what we want because our religion/government/whatever opposes it" is giving in and doing what it wants.

If they get killed will they be martyrs? Likely not? But people will look at them and say, "All those girls did was stand up to who and what they are and they got killed for it. Maybe that's not right..." and think about it.

Opposition can take many forms. Throwing tea into a harbor, marching en-masse in public squares, throwing blood on people, many forms.

These girls should be applauded for not sitting down and not doing something because a silly, narrow-minded, backwards way of thinking tells them they shouldn't.

who would have thought that a bunch of farmers armed with Pitchforks and Flintlocks could stand against and defeat the British Army at the Empire's height in the late 1700's?

Well firstly that's complete and utter jibberish because you didn't just have Pitchforks and Flintlocks, you had backing from the French and the British had problems elsewhere in the world so didn't take you on with full power and secondly go read my last post.

The French were not that much help until their navy prevented the British escape from Yorktown. Being distracted with other stuff is no excuse for sending an incompetent womanizer like Cornwallis (sp?) to keep a valuable colony under King George's syphilitic yoke, either.

Sometimes, Tacky, you just have to stand up for what you believe in. The urge is so strong there's no way you can't do it. I think these girls are in that place.

My personal opinion, not verified in the article, is that they see what Western girls have and think, "Why can't I do that?". Longest journey, one step, all that.

Their courage will inspire others. If anything happens to them, people will be enraged and further inspired to opposition and dissent.
