Islam: by Warlords, for Warlords.
How's that for a slogan? Too catchy?
"In our societies men hold power and they decide what Islam should mean and how we can obey that particular understanding of Islam," said Zainab Anwar, executive director of Sisters in Islam, a Malaysian organization working on women's rights within the Islamic framework.
"I can't live with a God that is unjust," she said. "The law is progressive, but those men controlling the law aren't."
I hope it works out for them, seriously. Now imagine this group trying to form in a country ruled by Islamic law.

Does the shoe fit, JJ?
What's a pseudosquare? Some spectral sequence mumbojumbo?
