9/19    How did Megawati Sukarnoputri, a woman, become the president of
        Indonesia, an Islamic nation?  Thanks.
        \_ She is Sukarno's daughter.  "The People" believe she is influenced
           by her dead father.  She has actually said in public speaches that

           to be the leader of some backwards country, it is because they are
           related to some deceased national figure. -crebbs
           her father came to her in a dream and told her ... .  You will
           usually find that when some female is the leader or in contention
           to be the leader of some backwards country, she is related to
           some deceased national figure.  -crebbs
           \_ But I thought females are considered inferior in Islamic
              countries, and men are unwilling to take orders from women.  Not
              true?
           \_ Then why is her last name Sukarnoputri instead of Sukarno?
