An example for you all to look up to
 
It's about a woman race driver in Iran.

Three Qs:

1. If women can't drive on the street in these extremist lands, how come
it's okay to drive on race tracks?

2. Where in the Koran does it say a burka is ok as a helmet?

3. Why does she sit so close to the wheel?

Stop right there, pal! Iran is no more extremist than the USA in terms
of religion. I know because I've been to both counties.

Get your facts right before you start slagging off other cultures.

Last time I checked, whoo from nowhere, the government doesn't ENFORCE any
religion in the U.S., unlike Iran.

And Ive been to Canada and Mexico. That makes me an expert on religion in
both Canada and Mexico? I dont think so...

Anyone with a modicum of COMMON SENSE can see you are so far off base that
you cant even see the base anymore...

I lived among Iranians for 5 years. I didn't find them exactly liberal when
it came to women's rights, whatever other virtues their culture may posess
(and there are many).

Sorry, I didn't mean to veer into politics. I just thought it amusing that
an Iranian woman is being presented by the leftist BBC as "the new
Schumacher" sitting in a Lincoln LS, too close to the wheel and without a
helmet. Sorry if I stepped on anybody's religious toes.
