...so Nigeria supports Osama Bin Ladin more then any other country, but they also seem to have an odd feminist streak for a country dealing with a strong Islamic presence "More than six-in-ten (63%) Muslim men in Nigeria favor the stoning of people who commit adultery, while 36% oppose it; Muslim women in that country are evenly divided, with 49% saying they favor and the same number saying they oppose the stoning of adulterers. When it comes to the death penalty for those who leave Islam, Muslim men in Nigeria are clearly supportive (58% favor and 39% oppose), while a majority of their female counterparts (54%) are against the death penalty for those who leave the Muslim religion; 44% of Muslim women in Nigeria favor it. Finally, while majorities of Muslim men and women in Nigeria favor punishments like whippings and cutting off of hands for crimes like theft and robbery, men are somewhat more likely than women to say they favor these strict measures (69% of men vs. 61% of women)." |

In Nigeria: "...Muslim men are considerably more likely than Muslim women to say gender segregation should be the law; 57% of Muslim men in Nigeria favor gender segregation, compared with 41% of Muslim women in that country." "Nigerian Muslims stand apart as the only Muslim public surveyed where views of al Qaeda and Bin Laden are, on balance, positive. About half of Muslims in Nigeria express favorable views of the extremist group(49%) and say they have at least some confidence in its leader (48%), while just 34% offer negative opinions of al Qaeda and 40% express little or no confidence in bin Laden." one can assume that countries that go "fundamentalist" (a bullshit word I admit) go fundamentalist in more then one way. it is very obvious from Nigeria: that the women there are just as rhetorical as their Islamic hardline men. The real solutions to these wars will not be resolved until the "Leftist Progressives" realize that they are part of the problem. Feminism and Socialism can be just as dogmatic as any other world view... but I doubt you will see Gloria Steinem owe up to that |
Explains a few things about feminism:
"Among Nigerian Muslims, nearly the same percentage favor making segregation of men and women in the workplace the law in their country (49%) as oppose it (48%)"

sadly the West has proposed the fight vs. Islam to be allied with feminism, but the truth is that feminism is a polarity of a fundamentalist patriarchy
