A Muslim family sits across from me in a café, in a largely Muslim Asia country. An older woman shyly hunches over, desperately trying to avoid eye contact with the giant plasma screen TV, blazing loud music on the popular music video channel, MTV. The scantily dressed presenter introduces her ‘top song’ for the week. Beyonce, dressed in so very little, annoyingly reiterates that she is “a single lady.â€

Fascinating. And from what I have found in my travels in the 70s and 90s around Europe, Scandinavia and the Middle East is that when there is a picture of success, like the US was during those years, success is emulation of the model and hoping for equal success.
What many of these countries do not realize is that, under the strict Islamic law, they have quashed at least half their population from contributing to the direction of their society.
