Tawakel Karman, a Yemeni journalist who's been a major anti-government player in Yemen's so-called "Arab Spring," is one one of three women who are sharing the 2011 Nobel Peace Prize. And that is indeed a solid achievement for Karman, a woman who is to be commended for standing up for women and freedom.
Problem is, Karman belongs to a poltical party--Al-Islah--that's the Yemen branch of the Muslim Brotherhood, an outfit that longs to bring sharia-style "peace" to the world, so you'll understand if I withold my applause.
