5 Muslim countries have had a woman president, but the USA still hasn't, why is US...

Benazir Bhutto and Sheikh Hasina were both daughters of the most popular politicians so it was quite easy for them really.

Any ways muslim countries are not considered anti-women for this reason. A women in the US can wear whatever she wants , whenever she wants and **** who ever she wants. Now imagine a drunk girl in a mini skirt walking the streets of a muslim country . Chances are she's going to jail isn't she ?

Btw,


Stop stoning women.
Stop lashing women.
Stop killing rape victims.
Stop forcing women to wear the chador.
Stop forcing young girls to marry 50 year old men.
Stop mutilating their genitals.
Stop banning women from doing NORMAL HUMAN BEHAVIOUR like driving and leaving the house without a male relative.
Stop putting women in the "care" of abusive fathers, brothers and husbands.


That's just the cultural BS. Don't get us started on the ACTUAL religion. Anyhow stop doing all that **** and maybe then we'll stop dissing you for mistreating women.

Stop stoning women.-never happens
Stop lashing women.- never happens
Stop killing rape victims.- rapist would be killed by her family
Stop forcing women to wear the chador.- i dont know what this is but noone wore a burkha just a dress and saari
Stop forcing young girls to marry 50 year old men.- doesnt happen ( i have read of a case in tribal afghanistan
Stop mutilating their genitals. - I beleive this is a cultural thing in Egypt
Stop banning women from doing NORMAL HUMAN BEHAVIOUR like driving and leaving the house without a male relative. - lol, this only happens in Saudi
Stop putting women in the "care" of abusive fathers, brothers and husbands - personally I believe this is a bit of a problem

btw these experiences are from a village in pakistan (punjab)

..so anti-woman?


The five Muslim majority countries that had female presidents are:

Indonesia, the most populous Muslim-majority country, elected Megawati Sukarnoputri as president.

Pakistan, the second most populous Muslim-majority country, twice (non-consecutively) elected Benazir Bhutto as prime minister.

Bangladesh, the third most populous Muslim-majority country, elected Khaleda Zia and Sheikh Hasina as prime ministers.

Turkey, the fifth most populous Muslim-majority country, elected Tansu Çiller as prime minister.

In the Muslim majority region of Kosovo, President Atifete Jahjaga was unanimously elected by the Assembly of Kosovo on April 7, 2011

Furthermore, nearly one-third of the Parliament of Egypt- the fifth most populous Muslim majority nation- also consists of women

And not only that, women still hold leadership positions in the Muslim world. They can range from companies, corporations, government, town management, village leaders, etc.

I think its pretty hypocrtical for some Americans to simply diss our religion and people for "oppressing" women, considering that they never actually had a woman leader and discrimination against women is well hidden in US politics.

BTW, if a woman gets elected as president in America that's great. But NOT for the reason of her being a woman but for her achievements and competence.But I'm just pointing it out....

Muslims are anti women. they hold back women's rights and rape and abuse women. A lot of women aren't even allowed to walk by themselves or drive a car. Education is not encouraged.

Islam is such a backwards religion.

What's your point? No good women candidates have run, it is a democracy after all.

But in Saudi arabia it's illegal for women drive cars, I dont see that in america

Perhaps there's an issue with America that good female candidates cannot get a nomination? Either that or you are suggesting that there are no American women who would make good candidates....

Clearly the superpower, richest country in the world, biggest economy of all time has been doing things wrong

lol my mum was raised and bought up in the north of Pakistan and I can say that none of that rubbish happened to her. She used to ride a bike to work and she has a degree. She definitely wasn't tortured, and neither was she forced to take a headscarf. She was respected by everyone she worked with, and in her local community too. My dad has tried to get my mum to learn how to drive, but because of an accident she had whilst she was learning, she was put off the idea completely.

Stop making stupid sweeping statements.

Apparently, a lot more than the US.
The US congress- 13% are women
Pakistani Parliament- nearly 25% are women

How do they manage to get seats? Aren't elections are regular thing when Pakistan is under a democracy?

She was elected nonetheless. Doesn't matter if her father was elected 2/3 decades before she was. She still got elected.
