		<description><![CDATA[Lubna al-Hussein’s recent trial for wearing pants has received a lot of attention in the media.

		<description><![CDATA[Looking at the title of Mark Milke’s editorial, “The 21st century-style subjection of women” I have to admit that the first group of people that didn’t come to mind was Muslim women.
