Funny that you posted this, I'm reading the Biography "Ataturk" right now and just finished the chapter on women's rights today. I think what's needed is for a reformation movement in Islam similar to (without the decades of war hopefully) the Protestant reformation in Europe. I still have hope for Turkey to lead the way in the Muslim world, but I don't see improvement until there are some changes with the religion.

Does it not seem that abolishing the Caliphate from Turkey and translating the Koran into Turkish was and is tantamount to a protestant/reformist movement in Islam?
