I think people jump on the malicious motives bandwagon far too often MN. I mean, Mona is a Muslim, as is the author of the article you posted, so presumably they would have no malicious motives for saying that perhaps a misinterpretation of certain passages in the Quran and hadiths is the cause of a great deal of misogyny in the Middle East. yet look at the responses. They aren't real Muslims, they hate Muslims, etc, etc, etc.
