Not really...   I don't know anything about the dynasties in the Middle East in the ancient past, but there have been ruling queens in many of the long-running dynasties in history in the rest of the world.  And there recent examples of majority-Islamic nations (which Azadistan may or may not be) that are led by women.  For instance, Benazir Bhutto, a former leader of Pakistan, who has been in the news lately.  And iirc, the current leader of Bangladesh is a woman as well. So I see it as being quite possible.     junior ---------[ Received Mail Content ]---------- Subject : Re: [RE][gundam] Gundam 00 Episode 8 *Spoilers* Date : Thu, 29 Nov 2007 14:47:49 -0500 From : "Dr. Core" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To : list@gundam.com Joseph Riggs wrote: > I wasn't looking at her hair (since when are anime shows ever concerned with > getting hair color accurate, anyway?).

Almost as odd as a Middle Eastern queen with a Eurocentric given name "Marina". Wait... it's almost as odd as a Middle Eastern queen, period. -- Dr. Core -------------------------------------------------- The Gundam Mailing List MK-II list@gundam.com Archives: http://www.gundam.com/gml Help: Email [EMAIL PROTECTED] with this in the BODY: help list
