Nancy Graham, an old friend of mine, and talented documentary producer and journalist, moved to Denmark, For many years she taught journalism at the University of Aarhus. Europe has much more actual experience with Muslims than does the US, and Nancy became interested in women’s status in Islam, which involved her learning a great deal about Islamic societies. Like many of us, she was glued to the tube during recent events in Egypt, but far more knowledgeably than most.
She was concerned with the execrable level of reporting on Egypt in this country, and submitted a piece to Huffingtonpost, which has just been published. I recommend it.
