Aikido Practice in an Islamic country

http://www.nippon-kan.org/ahan/05_new_wind/new_wind.html

I never had much public feedback on an earlier post dealing with Islam, Women's Rights, and Aikido.  (Where have you gone Knowlton Nash).  I started keeping an eye out for articles on Aikido in predominantly Islamic countries.

This was an eye witness account from a student of Homma Sensei when she visited Morocco with him.  It sounds like some areas are being more progressive, but that the belief system and gender inequality is prevalent.  There are fewer women who train, and gender segregated classes are more common.  For those women who are training with men, I don't see mention if they only train with their husbands, fathers or brothers.  

Good on Homma Sensei for going.
