I am sorry to say this but a naive fool. Didn't she notice looking at old photographs young educated Egyptian women back before 1980 say like her walking around Cairo in Western fashions? Today nothing but the veil and worse.

Wow—what a shock. [/s] The only group the Egyptian Spring is going to deliver for is the Mullahs.

Been a few years - but a while back some blogger (?) had gotten some pictures of Cairo University taken about 10 years apart.

You could see the slow transition to the veil.

Another series taken in Kabul, Afghanistan in the 1970s shows a very modern city.

What I find particularly sad is that aspects of this kind of thing are coming to the US. This spring there was a big flap in Virginia because in pursuit of the laudable goal of reducing the number of legal abortions, the state was trying to impose a VAGINALLY INVASIVE form of ultrasound to show women what their fetuses looked like. Before this I thought that ultrasounds were performed on the exterior of the belly. Who knew? Sounds a lot like the Egyptian military/security forces administering Virginity Tests. At any rate the outrage of Virginia women of both parties got that aspect of the provision killed.

Typical Islamic taqiyya bait-and-switch. Just wait until the stadium executions start.

Sharia’s bad for women? Who knew?
