Although I meant to write about other issues, browsing through IHT I came across this article, which takes place in Grozny, Russia. The president or dictator, (not a slander he really is), is instigating Islamic law, forcing all the women to cover themselves with headscarves, albeit silk. Seven women were shot to death in honor killings. This was brought to media attention with the president/dictator's approval. What is going on in the world?Why is it always the women who are subjugated?? Although this might seem like a problem for Russia to deal with it, Chechen's are long and tenacious fighters. If in the end they can instigate something like this, with a dictator backed by the old Russian president, what's to say that slowly Turkey doesn't turn into something similiar...
