Speaking about Muslim women, I once was watching on Fox News Channel a show in which they were talking about countries in which women reached the top of leadership. I thought OK lets test the fairness and see if they would mention that two of the most populous Muslim nations, including the most populous one, which are Indonesia and Pakistan had woman at the positions of president and prime minister respectively. The later, Benazir Bhutto, even used to appear with hijab clothes. But despite the low number of cited examples one probably could have only dreamt that things like headscarf and hijab would not limit their minds from seeing those two nations. I also do not think it is likely things would have been different on a different network.
By the way, speaking about Benazir Bhutto I can hardly remember any announcement of findings related to investigating her assassination and despite the closeness in time to the election and the potential for her and her party to win again. It was as if her blood went like nothing. She was granted amnesty by Musharraf but was assassinated very shortly after she returned to Pakistan.
