The fluctuating fortunes of women in the Islamic world

Saudi Arabia will allow girls to play sports in private schools and this becomes international news. A new king or a new spiritual leader will allow some liberties to women for a short time. The rules change at whim because women have no say in their destiny or desires. The first target of fundamentalists is women. For example, the republicans of America have messed with women's rights in the last decade. The voice of reason - in other words, the voice of women needs to be shut before indulging in stupidity. Sorry, Saudi Arabia - too little and too late is the verdict about this bit of news.
