One point I touch on frequently in talks I've given over the years,
especially when people ask me if Western influence will ultimately
overwhelm the Islamic supremacist imperative in Muslim lands and
extinguish the jihad, is that in the last 100 years the movement has
been in the opposite direction: Western influence has been waning, and
Sharia is on the rise.
And I've pointed out many times that while saw few hijabbed women on the street in Cairo in 1969, one saw few without hijab in 2009. And now comes an illuminating photo essay from Phyllis Chesler at Pajamas Media that illustrates just that. Two of the photos are above, and Phyllis has more here.
