[QUOTE="nickdnz, post: 684753, member: 38640"] It's a tough nut. Personally I think Wahhabism is a backwards form of Islam, that makes life difficult for Muslims who are unfairly associated with it. The problem is that most of the women in Saudi Arabia are in fact Wahhabi, so it's difficult to push for rights that they themselves don't believe they should have. If Saudi Arabia weren't so oil rich and generally in a continuously prosperous relationship with the US, there is no doubt they would be received worse. The issue for the Australian soccer team, it's not as if they can boycott Saudi Arabia, while remaining in trade with Saudi Arabia. It would by hypocritical. [/QUOTE]
