#4 responding meme should be: the repression, fear, and hiding of women in Islamic society is less a religious thang, and more a reflection of what utter lacking-of-self-control, insecure, uneducated, pussies Islamic men are. Likely they are afraid the women will outcompete the men in sport, business, school, and society, therefore they keep em down

#5 Good Call Frank.

BTW - Ms. Seddigh should come on over and try open wheel in the states or apply to NASCAR. A female/muslim racer fighting for women's rights in the MMM would be an interesting subplot.
