Well, we both know you weren’t referring to all Muslims. And, interestingly, they are not Muslim they follow some other Babylonian religion. But then again, one can be of any faith (or not be of any faith) and be a hater of women.

The University of GA Islamic Studies department has some interesting links on this topic of women in Islam, our happy coffee swillers can view them at http://www.uga.edu/islam/ and click on Muslim Women or just go right to their Women in Islam studies page here.

Amina Wadud, an Islamic Studies Professor in the Department of Philosophy and Religious Studies at Virginia Commonwealth University, wrote a fascinating article on Islamist Feminism and how its forming up in an article entitled, “A’ishah’s legacy” that is worth a read. To some extent, what is happening in Islamist Feminism is a move toward a unique voice that does not replicate the West’s view or culture.

Happy Reading
