from BBC news:

“Organisers of the first international congress on Islamic feminism are calling for a ‘gender jihad.’
Organiser Abdennur Prado Pavon says the struggle for gender equality in Islamic countries involves refuting chauvinist interpretations of Muslim teachings.
The congress is in Spain, organisers say, because they want their message to reach the growing number of Muslim women in Europe.
Around 300 delegates are looking at women’s rights in the Islamic world.”

I’m not a big fan of the Bush administration, but you do have to wonder if this is the result of the efforts in Iraq and Afghanistan… The possibilities of something like this occurring later on down the line is debatable, but its occurrence now can only leave you to speculate that maybe Bush had something to do with this, albeit indirectly. I wonder how history will judge this development…
