Apparently the CIA was in Libya and signed off on this. In a related development, the head of Yeman complained that women participating in demonstrations was unIslamic. The next demonstration there were large quantities of women taking part. Perhaps women (empowered by Facebook, Twitter, etc.) will keep the men from highjacking these movements for fundamentalism.
I can certainly see the rage boy being duly impressed by such an act by women, and instead of stoning them, as he tends to do, he will acknowledge their existence and superiority of their opinions :-)
