The womens rights issue in Iraq. Women are being forced to cover up in public or face the consequences. Sounds exactly like Saudi Arabia.

A secularly controlled government would not do this.

Can you cite any information that would support your contention that "women are being forced to cover up in public or face the consequences" other than an isolated incident by locals egged on by the insurgents. I don't see it happening.
