#1 Female presidential candidates should include in their platform the abolition of the office of the Egyptian Grand Mufti. He would probably get the message and change his tone accordingly.

#3 "Women can stand as candidates for parliament or the consultative council, in so far as they can reconcile their duties with the rights that their husbands and children have over them."

Would any Rantburg ladies care to explain what 'rights' your SO has over you?

#4 Hillary is going to be bummed when she hears this.

Hey, wait! Since a woman is worth half a man, Sharia-isticly speaking, maybe Hil and Pelosi could run as co-Presidents. That fixes the problem of "being alone with men who are not their husbands or close relatives". Of course, there's still the problem of the pair of them being even more un-electable than either of them alone.
