Jordan Rally

November 2008

Whilst in some Middle-Eastern countries women are banned from driving, Abir Batikhi, a modern Arab woman, is set to conquer the rally-driving world. Bakhiti sees competitive driving as a form of liberation.

Jordans best rally driver has a lot of fans. Even Jordans Prince Faisal bin Al Hussein supports Batikhi, It takes a lot of courage, perseverance, hard work and shes demonstrated all of those skills." Abirs passion for the sport is quickly making her into a role model and she believes driving can help women feel empowered. You want to see naughty driving? I love it. Its in my blood. Its something I cannot live without.

jordan is a sellout the king was getting a paycheck every week from cia read his own book from the first king to the recent they are all for hire it's soooo sad

[osam14]

you mean the Jordanian government and not the Jordanian people right?

[mites7]

I really like your point of view. Dont bother arguing with people like that, they think in the tunnel and live off of pipe dreams. I think Islam is a good religion, but not the way that person represents it.

The only reason the Jordanians allowed Palestinians into Jordan was so they could stake a claim on Israel later on, not because they actually care about them.

MUSLIMS

Everybody loves Jordan? Haaaaaaaaaaahahahahahaha... yeah, right.. everyone is just desperate to move to Jordan arent they.. people all over the world want to leave their countries and move to... Jordan.. haaaaaahahahaha.. thanks for the laugh, idiot. By the way, why dont you go figure out what the two blue lines on the Israeli flag stand for, and find out what "Greater Israel" means. When Israel tries to take over Jordan, you can cry to them about how you just want peace.

haha a coward is someone that needs acceptance from others like you. You can say whatever you want because no one gives a shit about what you say, you are not God. Your an inbred with no education. HAHA your parents are probably cousins and everybody loves Jordan no matter what you think you dumbass(Habeeleh) Why would you want to pick a fight against other arabs?

[osam14]

Do you really believe thats what Allah wants? What God wants is for his creations to keep going and not destroying one another unlike you who thinks Allahs message is to kill others who dont believe. You are no better than skin heads who aim to kill others that dont look like them

[MuslimGhost]

"We just want peace" - spoken like a true coward. You're probably not even a muslim, you're like the jahalia arabs who were the first to reject the Prophet, the last to accept Islam, and the first to apostate. You keep hiding behind your women, the real men of this Ummah will step up and face the enemies of Allah.

[osam14]

Exactly I agree with you 100 percent I am an Arab also! This guy makes muslims look like shit!
