Jerry, As usual a most helpful post from you which helps to clarify the issues. I have on hold a book ed. Joel Beinin, Political Islam. Berkeley: University of California Press, 1997. So I'll figure out what to sell today to purchase it. I would indeed like to know more about the differences between Shi'i fundamentalist and Wahhibi attitudes towards modern women. The Iraqi Ba'th party of course has had an even different policy, but since the war I believe that percentage of women in Iraqi universities has fallen from 50 or above percent to less than 15%, though I will need to check this. Thank you much for raising fundamental questions. I hope you understand why we would all miss you as moderator. Rakesh
