Over the past 25 years, Muslim majorities have elected five women as heads of state in the Muslim world (Tansu Ciller in Turkey, Benazir Bhutto in Pakistan, Hasina Wajed and Khaleda Zia in Bangladesh, and Megawati Sukarnoputri in Indonesia). Notwithstanding our verbiage of female empowerment and liberation, we have yet to elect a single woman as president in the US. The Quran is the only sacred text that devotes an entire chapter to the rights of women. In fact, women in Europe could not inherit property independent of their husbands up until the 18th century. Islam over 1,400 years ago gave women the rights of inheritance, work, and hold public office. But the misperception of a Muslim woman that is veiled and oppressed guides our thinking.

I have a book composed entirely of crop circle photographs and it’s probably one of the most interesting photobiography I’ve ever read.
…But they stoked my view that sexual morality was a giant hypocrisy, as I marveled at the gap between what they said and did. Marriage was a sham, I concluded, and making women responsible for chastity was clearly some kind of hoax. It was a joke, and someone was going to deliver the punch line soon. Weren’t they?
