In this file picture taken on July 2, 2005 a Turkish woman wearing a headscarf walks past posters sporting a woman veiled by the European Union flag in central Istanbul. Five years after a “big bang” took the European Union deep behind the former Iron Curtain, enlargement fatigue, worsened by the economic crisis, has gripped the bloc. Institutional hurdles and divisions over whether mainly Muslim Turkey should be allowed in have added to fallout from the financial turmoil to dampen enthusiasm for Europe, to the detriment of Balkan nations that want to join.

Lebanon

Lebanese Muslim women wait for their turn to vote at a polling station in a southern Beirut Hezbollah stronghold on June 07, 2009. The Lebanese voted in a high-stakes general election pitting a Western-backed coalition against an Iranian-backed alliance led by the Hezbollah militant group. Polls opened at 0400 GMT but many rose at dawn, aiming to be first in line to cast their ballot for their choice of candidate in the 128-seat parliament which is equally divided between Christians and Muslims.
