You know I just keep wondering when male authority is going to stop fighting over women's bodies and leave us alone to take care of them as we wish. In contemporary time, with the so called clash of civilizations, the body of the Muslim woman has become the topic of the day both in Muslim countries and without. Its getting damned tiring to see the entire whole so concerned over what Muslim women put on or do not put on their faces, hair, hands, feet or whatever. If you read any of the literature when the British and the French first came to the Middle East in particualr you will hear the same old debates that we are living out today. White men, misogynist at home, but turned feminist when their feet touched the Orient, trying to save "brown" women. And "brown" men trying to protect their honour. Enough is enough. I would ask both the sheikhs and their counterparts( such as editors in certain danish papers) to turn their one eyed vengeance to their full time jobs like fighting over oil fields.
