Status of Women in the Muslim World

Update: No need to blog when we have Charles Krauthammer!



Original Post
From President Obama's speech in Cairo today:
"Now let me be clear: issues of women's equality are by no means simply an issue for Islam. In Turkey, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Indonesia, we have seen Muslim-majority countries elect a woman to lead. Meanwhile, the struggle for women's equality continues in many aspects of American life, and in countries around the world."
Is he serious? Does he really think that it is reasonable to compare the status of women in the US with their status in the Muslim world? Six of one, half a dozen of the other? The idea is preposterous and Obama's statement is obnoxious.
