Lysistrata Updated for the Arab World: Coffee

Inadvertently it seems the The National in Abu Dhabi has shown Arab women a way to break the jahilliya inspired oppression of women in Arab society.
“We ran out of coffee!” I heard a male voice in distress telling the hostess as she opened the door just a tiny crack to see who it was.
Distress indeed!

Imagine if there were a coffee sitdown.  The male world as we know it could well come to an end.   That's why AA always makes his own cup or two or maybe more of Turkish coffee.  Anyways, Umm Arqala decries the use of sugar (and AA is a fairly dynamic supporter of that industry). 

Interesting as well was the testimony of the two religious shaykhs.  It would seem sadly that there has been some bid'a since the time of the Prophet with respect to the proper treatment of women.
