Progress?

I think so.

Jimmy Carter loses his religion and Muslim women lose the veil.

AFTERTHOUGHT: I am not making a moral equivalency argument about the respective religions, mind you. Or the people involved. The Muslim women who have taken a stand against the veil are infinitely braver than Jimmy Carter. (I realize that any regular reader over the years would know that, but not all readers are regular, and new or irregular readers might substitute their assumptions.)
