Let us dispel Arab misconceptions about Ms. Dalia Mogahed

Dalia Mogahed was with the Gallup organization. I ran into a director at Gallup recently and he noticed what I notice: that Arab media keep consistently mistakenly referring to Ms. Mogahed as "policy adviser to Obama." This is quite untrue. Ms. Mogahed was appointed to an advisory body, that is all. She has as much policy input as somebody who sits on the Presidential Advisory Council on Physical Fitness.
