Pakistan had a woman Prime Minister - Benazir Bhutto.
I'm not sure whether any Islamic states currently have women leaders.
(but then I'm not sure how many Christian or secular states have women leaders either apart from Germany). Britain has only had one woman Prime Minister and the US have never had a woman president.

Benazir Bhutto was the first female prime minister in the Muslim world (Pakistan in 1988)
Aung San Suu Kyi - Burma (A leader in resistance since 1989)
Chandrika Kumaratunga President of Sri Lanka 1999
2001- Prime Minister Begum Khaleda Zia, Bangladesh
2006- Executive President Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf, Liberia
To put this in context Margarette Thatcher become the the first woman PM in Europe and the UK in 1979 and the USA has never had a woman as President.

Yes! that's the wrong advertisements of governments against Islam that every non-muslims feel strangely about muslim women, I am sure that none of you may know about Islamic Republic of IRAN(again coz of ads)... but there is lots of safety &freedom for women to not only sharing in society but also running country...

Pakistans Benazi Bhutto. But the real question is how did she get to that rank if there is such repression of Muslim women? Also did the men hate it and make and regularly complain? I'll have to ask that.

None that I can think of. As for why, why isn't there a female leader in the United States.
Pakistan had a female Prime Minister a few years ago.

Muslim women only run from their husbands. They're not even allowed to run for the head of the house.
