>>However, the situation may not improve soon. Pakistani religious parties who made a strong showing in the Oct. 10 parliamentary elections are also in favor of giving only "limited" independence to the women, who make up half of Pakistan's population of 140 million. << the more i read about the political climate of the islamic countries, the more i am convinced that underlying the bitter hatred of the west is equal rights for women and their perception that it has lead to the "moral decay" in the west. and they will do just about anything to prevent it's exportation and proliferation to them. we should be very concerned as the religious parties continue to gain power in a nuclear state.
