The Sunni, on the other hand, educated their girls/women and women even had a political voice.

As in Saudi Arabia? Or in the case of the Taliban? Both Sunni regimes.

It's a lot more complicated than it get presented as. For example, most Kurds are Sunni Muslims, some are Shi'ite, but that's not a particularly relevant division.

The Baathist regime in Iraq was dominated by Sunni Arabs, and was also secular, with women having education and a political voice, but the one doesn't imply the other, any more than the fact that this is also true of the present Shi'ite regime in Iran (compared to other parts of the Middle East - it's all relative.)

If you apply this kind of generalising to Christians, saying Catholics are conservative minded and Protestants are liberal minded, or the other way round, you'd come unstuck very rapidly indeed.
