Empowering Muslim Women

Via Andrew Sullivan, here are Johann Hari's interesting prescriptions for Islamic reformation: empower Muslim women & cut dependence on middle-eastern oil.

We strongly endorse the former. On the latter, we can't see any immediate way to accomplish the laudable goal --with India & China coming on-line, the demand for this oil will go up, not down. It's not clear why we have to sacrifice our prosperity for a broader Islamic reformation.
