juldeaFrom Jihad by Gilles Kepel:
On November 6, 1979, seventy Saudi Arabian women drove their cars into the center of Riyadh to protest the law forbidding the women to drive. One of the central points of their defense was that Aisha, "the wife of the Prophet," (as the book says, although Mohammud had multiple wives) had ridden her own camel.
Cute. Hooray for scriptural precedence.
