Re: About that Turk thing.
The Turks are not Arabs, and they live in a secular society with a majority Muslim population.
Turkish women are no more restricted in their choices of careers than are American women. That is to say, there is probably a good ol' Turk boy network too. But the veil hasn't been a requirement since Ataturk.
Female literacy, according to the Year 2000 figures quoted in the CIA World Factbook place female literacy at 77%. Male literacy is at 94%.
Casting a wide net of judgment over all Muslims is not a good idea, and it has a shaky foundation in fact.
