For reasons we might all speculate about. But since the fundamental purpose of many seem to be 1) to declare religion as evil, and or to 2) display their own superiority over the rest of humanity, actions by Muslim women don't merit much attention, particularly in they are engaging in protest. How can Muslim feminists protest when they don't even exist, or are so full of self loathing they can't summon anything but apology for their subjugation? That is what many around here seem to think.
As reactionary as any Muslim woman might be, it's safe to assume there is no one else on this planet like Sarah Palin.
