Unlike the indigenous tribes and south american cultures, which fell to the missionary armies, the Muslim world has fought back against both the Christian evangelism and the secular media assault. Combine the two western forces of cultural change and you have something that may seem quite malevolent to major portions of the Muslim world. When Bush says they hate our freedoms and our democracy, there IS some truth to it, but it is also our Christian evangelism, our hypersexualized television and movies and our cultural values which involve very different rights and roles for women.
The road to equal rights and equal opportunity for women has not been easy and will continue to be a challenging one.
