Bahrain Hits a Lick Against Islamism
The Arab nation of Bahrain has named its new Ambassador to the United States. Normally that would be no big deal, except the new Ambassador is a Jewish woman.
MANAMA, Bahrain (AP) – Bahrain’s king has appointed a woman believed to be the Arab world’s first Jewish ambassador as the country’s envoy to Washington.
Lawmaker Houda Nonoo said she was proud to serve her country “first of all as a Bahraini,” adding she was not chosen for the post because of her religion.
“It is a great honor to have been appointed as the first female ambassador to the United States of America and I am looking forward to meeting this new challenge,” Nonoo told The Associated Press by telephone.
It’s small progress, but progress nonetheless. Every little move toward modernity and true liberalism is another ringing defeat for the Islamists and their desire to keep the entire world mired in the 7th Century.
Good for Bahrain!

Why would an Arab nation do that? Surely they had plenty of people to choose from. I know they are advanced and all, but I do wonder if there isn't more to it?
I honestly don't know. From what I read, she has some experience and has been a good official for the Bahraini government. I'm not sure what led them to promote her. I just think it's cool.
