The news is mainly about a new movement in the Middle East. The soft revolution is now gradually having an impact on many sides of the society, including religion, politics, gender problems, and traditions. Up to now, I think the influence is good for those conservative countries in Middle East. Egyptian women have more freedom and more respect. Muslims can read Koran with more aspects and conceptions. Scholars are trying to cancel some cruel traditions like stoning adulterers and honor killings, hoping to change the Islamic world. The Muslim world is also getting friendlier to the US because of the new president Obama, who was the first US president to have lived in the Muslim world and to have Muslim relatives and a Muslim middle name.
The countries in Middle East haven’t had many chances to have changes. The soft revolution may be a great opportunity for them to jump into a new life. However, I didn’t see Afghanistan is the article, which is also has big problems unsolved. Afghanistan is known to have similar problems. Nevertheless, it is now in an unknown situation. The possibility that Afghanistan has same revolution is assumed very little. It may have to depend on the US to see if there is any chance to improve their lives.
