Irony!

Dear Dr Pipes,

In your blog about people hiding their identities by wearing Burqas and committing crimes, you report the story of bank robber Ranya Al-Huthaili. You reported that she is a woman of Saudi origin. In an ironic way, that is a great news. If a woman of Saudi origin can wear large sun glasses and be adventurous enough to rob banks, that is almost a step in the right direction.

I almost feel like congratulating Ms Ranya on her modern attitude but, I guess, banks and law-enforcement will not like it.
