MUSLIM WOMEN SPEAKING OUT AGAINST OPPRESSION - MURDER IN THE NAME OF ISLAM


"AND HE CREATED YOU FROM THE SAME SPIRIT"

Quran

These women say, "Islam has been hijacked. Women are being murdered in the name of islam."

A new crop of female Islamic scholars says there is nothing in the Koran that treats women unequally. Instead, they argue, Muslim women have been marginalized by cultural practices and patriarchal interpretations. One such advocate is Dr. Azizah Al-Hibriwho started a non-profit organization called Karamah with the goal of advancing the gender-equitable principles of Islam to Musllm women.
