[Leica] IMG: Second Countryhouse Visit

Six to one, half a dozen to the other.

I'm not a Muslim but at the risk of sounding like an apologist, Islam gave
women rights in 700 AD that Western societies didn't confer on the fairer
sex until the early 1900's- property and inheritance, divorce, and a
standing in court.  The Islamic world was the seat of learning when Europe
was in the Dark Ages; Maimoides wrote his Guide To The Perplexed in
Baghdad.  But somewhere along the line things went bad, stagnated.  Much of
the Islamic world longs for the time of the Prophet and cannot come to terms
that that time has passed.

Anyway, this isn't the place for that discussion.
