Sadly, the Nobel Committee seems to share the same views about who should represent Muslim women. In 2011, they awarded Tawakkol Karman with the Nobel Peace Prize for what they call her struggle for the safety of women and for women’s rights to full participation in peace-building work. Ms. Karman has declared Mohamed Morsi the Arab world’s Mandela and is a senior member of Yemen’s Muslim Brotherhood affiliated al-Islah party. How can a leading figure within a movement seeking to restricts women’s most basic liberties, including that of freedom from genital mutilation, be awarded such a prestigious award in the name of women’s rights?
