  Renounce Your Hate

  There are many things done in the world that are reprehensible, and they should be resisted.  

  It doesn't help make your case for you to spout hate like you've done in your comment, amazingdrx.  Let that kind of thing be stated in other, less elegant, sites.  Keep this one as free as possible from that venom.

  Believe the Author is Wrong

  Muslim women were, by and large, always kept 'in their place' by the precepts of the religion long before oil became a world issue in the 20th century.  It isn't inherent in the fact that a natural resource like oil is found in many couies, but that the foundations of a country with an Islamic background tend to follow certain morays.

  There are quite a few countries in the world that don't have oil, are muslim (and non-muslim, and keep their women under the men's thumb (Afghanitan, Morocco, many nations in sub-Sahara Afrique, etc.)  

  Don't blame it on the oil, blame it on one group who don't adequately respect another group (Men & Women). On Oil and the status of women in the Middle East posted 1 year, 8 months ago 11 Responses
