My wife taught at Princess Nora University for three years and confirms most of the stuff in this article. There is a problem with the religion itself, not as much with the desire of some Muslim countries' leaders--they can't, as yet, get around the religious laws in order to actually make reformational change. Iran, which inherited some advances imposed by the Shah, is a bit more advanced.
