interesting thread hareem01
what happens to Muslim women is terrible. Part of it has to do with culture and development. The treatment of African or Hindu women, I think, wouldnt be drastically different from that of a Muslim woman you just find a different justification for it. Part of the blame also has to go to Muslim women themselves. In Pakistan, family roles are often strongly influenced by a matriarch, the whole saas bahu dynamic is driven by women. And ofcourse a big chunk of it has to go to the men who utilize selective readings of religion to legitimize abuse and inferior status.
The issue will be driven by people who care about this enough. Sadly usually feminist NGOs are also associated, rightly or wrongly, with westernization and irreligion.
Yes, and even if a muslim woman try to raise her voice against this she’d be labelled a feminist and then receieve hatred from fellow muslims.
Just look at some replies, i was expecting people to talk in favour of woman and against the cruelty in the name of Islam but all they can concentrate on the justifications for hitting women and children.
They want more torture, more killings, more blood.
maybe it is popular topic among awam but generally speaking not all Muslim talk about this issue all the time. Even if they do then there are valid reasons for it because these are one of the most neglected obligations. But I do agree with you that other topics should also be talked about along with these
please control your anger before telling other men to do the same. Stop attacking people with straw man: putting words in their mouth. Did he say what you should wear or what you should not? In fact, he said the opposite that do whatever you want and that is your fair.
honestly, I am amazed at your speech and level of husn al-dhan for fellow Muslims.
define violence. If you want to go by general definition then such necessary “violence” is found in sharee’ah, i.e., hitting your wife, hitting the child when he does not pray after he reaches a certain age
This is just sad guys. no comment from me, i can only hope that one day muslims will appear as a mature and positive nation.
