History, not a present. The sins of the past are redeemed by the convictions of the present.
Are Muslim countries recognizing the need for racial and sexual equality and moving toward it, or are they becoming apologists for a misogynistic world-view on the basis that “our women want to live that way”? The only way to redeem the ugliness of inequality is by establishing and defending new principles.
Where that’s happening, it should be applauded. Where it is not, it should be decried.
