Yes, there are many western women ambassador too, but my point is that there are women in imortant positions in the muslim world too. It may not be as much as in western world, but the western world is skewed with the perception that women are second class citizen in a mulsim world in general.
West and east see each other through filter glasses. they belive each side is the right side and the other is wrong. They generalize what they hear in news and radio and TV.
the east view the west as place where girls get pregant i their teen, binge drink, open their legs to every men, divorce after 2 yrs and fight for alimony and all. father sleep with daughter (the austrian case). they see the western world where women are object of lust, nothing else (any Ad to be succesful needs to have a sexy women in sexy dress-even ad about baby nappies need ot have a sexy mom), women need to reveal their cleavage to be pulled by a man. If she doe snot have curves she is not considered attractive despite being intelligent. for eastern world, this is oppression of women-that women are forced to be sexual to attract men. Western women may protest this comment saying they like to be attractive and sexually inviting on their own choice. fine, then why cannot muslim women not wear hijab on their own choice? how is that oppression.
The west view the eastern world as full of forced marriages, women being oppressed and not allowed to drive cars (Saudi is the only country of 40 odd muslim country that bans women from driving), women do not study (even in Saudi more and more women are going to uni).
Palestinians have the highest per capita PHD rate of all nationalities and increasing number of them are women.
so sadly we see each other through filter glasses, filter which suits us and makes us the righteous one.
About those mocking comments, bhutto go shot, so did many other male leaders. Her father was hanged. Indian primie minster Rajov Gandhi was assasinated. So its nothing to do with being a woman. so if you interpret that Bhutto being shot is sign of muslim intolerance of women, her father was hanged too and her father was a man, not a woman!!!LOL.
Also i would like to point out to the asker of the question that there are leaders in western world too who are women. so your second observation 'Unlike most Western societies were female leaders are sparse?' is not quite correct. but i agree with your first question.

Why increasing traffic fines first and then giving 50% discount?
H
Please read:
http://gulfnews.com/news/gulf/uae/traffic-transport/all-emirates-can-allow-discounts-in-traffic-fines-1.649084
Does this make any sense to you? Do you think people will drive more properly knowing that there is a 50% discount on certain traffic fines automatically?
Any inputs?
Answer
What I believe is that AD Police started this as they needed a way to collect the fines from people who would not pay them any time soon, as well as there are many cars with expired registration on the roads due to lack of money to pay the fines and these cars are possible danger on the road since they are not going thru the registration test.
I am sure that this wont last for a long.....so you better pay and make sure you dont make any in future.
