"The law will include enforcing the veil, Islamic dress for women, and restrictions on women's travel without approval from father or husband." With more Sharia to come later, if they succeed.
"Kuwaiti Salafists Prepare Draft Law," from MEMRI, June 16 (thanks to Morgaan Sinclair):
A draft law prepared by prominent Islamist clerics is to be submitted by Kuwaiti Salafist MPs to Kuwait's National Assembly, a source close to the Islamic Salafist Alliance said.The law will include enforcing the veil, Islamic dress for women, and restrictions on women's travel without approval from father or husband.
A special committee will be formed to examine whether women need to travel at all.
The law also plans to adopt some Islamic laws to regulate financial companies and banks, to curb media freedom, and to introduce gender segregation at universities, colleges, ministries, and private institutions.
The source added that if the draft law is passed, then more Islamic laws will be introduced later.

From "The Reliance of the Traveller" (or non-traveller, as the case may be), m10.3 et seq.:
"A husband may permit his wife to leave the house for a lesson in Sacred Law, for invocation of Allah (dhikr), to see her female friends, or to go to any place in the town. . . . It is unlawful for her to travel otherwise, and unlawful for her husband to allow her to."
But even that minimal sacred permission is voidable:
"The husband may forbid his wife to leave the home (citation to Bayhaqi: 'It is not permissible for a woman who believes in Allah and the Last Day to allow someone into her husband's house if he is opposed, or to go out if he is averse.')
And for the kicker: "But if one of her relatives dies, it is preferable to let her leave to visit them." "Preferable." Imagine dancing on tenterhooks to find out if hubby will let you go to your mother's funeral. Disobedience, of course, will get you a sacred beating (m10.12 et seq.) and the curses of angels (p43(4)).

Kuwaiti men should take a leaf from their Saudi brothers' book, mind you, I'd be surprised if they haven't already:
"Many Saudi homes have bars on the windows, and the women are locked in during the day."

I wasted 1.5 years of my life defending these bigots while deployed in the Army Reserve, mostly to Kuwait. Well, it wasn't a total waste, I met some great people in the Army and had some interesting experiences. Could have done that many places though.
Bush, because he refuses to recognize that Islam is an ideology of coercion and not a personal religion, has us aiding and abetting prima facie enemies of our country. My Constitution says that's treason. Anyone care to argue that point? What happened to the separation of church (mosque) and state? Would we send billions of dolloars to the Vatican or the Southern Baptists, as we are sending to Islamic Republics? (Islam is in their name, these countries are nothing more than giant mosques). Anyone care to dispute these points?

The women in Kuwait really need to travel, very quickly and very far away from Kuwait.
But to be candid, at this point I wouldn't want to see them showing up here, with their cockamamie outlook and twisted education.

Hopefully, the experiences will have been good training for when we require your services for taking back this country from the same bigots.

Oh, come on! The kindly old clerics are just trying to give women a peaceful life. Islam is, after all, the religion of peace.

"veil" is an anagram for "evil"
It's also an anagram for "vile".
