If you wish to have freedom as a woman in the modern world, the best thing you can do is not be born in an Islamic country. Moderate Muslim feminists are accusing Femen of going too far just as MLK was going too far in asking for racial equality in the United States. Of course, it must be said that he probably would not have been successful if his protest were done in the nude.
