A lot of news from the Gulf this week.
*Women in Saudi Arabia. Human Rights Watch says that the way their rights are curtailed, they're treated like children.
*Who needs GMT when you could have Mecca Time! Some scholars think Mecca should replace GMT, especially as it's a product of colonialism that was imposed on them by the British. Also some info about a Mecca Watch that shows the direction of Mecca. No pictures, unfortunately.
*Condoleezza Rice is in the Gulf too, for the GCC (Gulf Cooperation Council) meeting in Bahrain.
*And Ethiopia has broken it relations with Qatar, claiming they are funding rebels from Eritrea.
