Ok who are we to tell them what is best for them, but at the same time can there really be women in those countries who think they'd be better off in a strict islamist state?? Are they so brainwashed by religion that they need saving from themselves??, or is it a fear thing??
It's a mixture of religious indoctrination, a warped interpretation of the Koran being forced upon them, family tradition and fear.
The removal of Morsi was a good thing if you're against his party's sacking of women in top government jobs, their attempt to deny women the right to seek a divorce under Islam, their support of female circumcision and their plan to reduce the age of consent for girls to marry from 18 to 9.
Democratically elected government, not so sure about that as of 50 million eligible voters only 24% voted for Morsi. Some people voted for him on the basis of the Brotherhood handing out food and promising people a better life. Others voted thinking he was the best of a bad bunch.
Having lived in the Middle East for many years, I met local women who were happy to cover themselves from head to toe in 40 degree heat as they could travel around incognito and not be harrassed. Other, mainly younger women, wanted more freedom to be educated, work, drive and just simply to go out shopping uncovered with friends without having to take a male relative or driver with them.
It's very telling when you board a flight to London from some of the Gulf States - as soon as the plane takes off, the local ladies are delighted to remove their drab black garb and display their designer western clothes. Some of these women are absolutely stunning - it's not surprising their male relatives want to keep them under wraps!
