Truth is stranger than fiction.Reader comment on item: Dhimmitude at British Midland Airways Submitted by Lynn (United States), May 11, 2009 at 14:47 Reading stories like this make me feel as if we are giving away our souls a piece at a time. It seems that everything done in the past to right wrongs means nothing when it comes to money. I hope woman and their supporters boycott this terrible company. The article also states that although western women aren't required to wear the abaya in Saud Arabia, many do. It doesn't make any sense unless they feel so uncomfortable that they capitulate to that country's draconian laws. It feels as if we are moving backwards.
