Mouza's recent appearance was a blow to gender apartheid in the ultra-traditional gulf. Beyond that, the occasion sent another provocative message through the region. By opening a local branch of an American institution, the Weill Cornell Medical College, the reform-minded emir was defiantly signaling Islamic militants: Qatar is promoting modernization and friendship with the U.S. "They have treated us so well," says Dr. Daniel Alonso, dean of Weill Cornell's Doha campus.
