Curtain Munchers get a Dutch rub...Egypt tries to fight the trend...Iranian women continue to get squeezed.

It looks like the good people of Holland have decided that the burka is a terror risk and are taking steps to ban the damn thing. I say good on Holland...

In Egypt an Egyptian minister cites the increase of 'conservatism' (I prefer to call it islamism)for the dramatic increase in curtain munchers and calls it 'regressive and backward'. Well, the Muslim brotherhood ain't happy with that - they call for the minister's resignation because of it. Given that it is the Muslim Brotherhood, I guess he should be happy they aren't calling for his head.

Meanwhile back in Iran, women are being squeezed into tinier and tinier boxes:
"...women must now work in separate rooms from men, and may not attend meetings with their male colleagues. Segregation in the school system has been extended to teachers as well as pupils: at all levels, girls' schools may only be staffed by female teachers, who may not teach at boys' schools and institutes.In universities, where male and female students have for some time sat in separate areas, CCTV cameras have been installed to monitor contact between the two sexes. The first woman-only hospitals are due to open soon, the health ministry has announced."
