Islam and Women
Islam and Women's Rights
Throughout history, the strong have oppressed the weak,
and men have oppressed women. Unfortunately, Muslim men have often not
been an exception to this rule. Nevertheless, Muslims assert that in such
cases the fault lies not with Islam but rather with the inadequacy of
Muslim men. The links compiled here--largely written by Muslim
women--contradict the popular but mistaken notion held in the West that
Islam is oppressive to women.
