Islamic Feminism

[frawthydog]

Salaam,

thank you for the suggestions. another question though. im specifically looking two subjects:

1. a compare and contrast between western and muslim/islamic feminisms; and possibly some dynamics between the two.

2. the role of muslim male allies in the muslim feminist movement.

any suggestion would be helpful

Ma'Salaam

As Salaam U Alikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatu,.

hope all the biradurs and seesturs and chillruns are doing well.

thank you to all that have responded and commented. but more question times:

1. i believe biradur Abdul Aleem had recommended seestur Elizabeth Fernea's
atikul. Does
anyone else seem to sense a bit of exoticism in her writings? or is it just
extra effort
to counter the negative orientalist ideas of muslim/arab women?

2. Gender. Biradur Abdul Hakim Murad's atikuls seem to accept innate
differences between
men and women (although i dont get the impression he is suggesting that we are
limited by
them). Is it possible to acheive equality or equity while seeing men and women
as equal
but generally different? do rights, responsibilites, and roles (though
flexible)
follow/stem from this? How do the seesturs feel about the view of men and women
presented by
seestur Murata in The Tao of Islam?

I apologize for the list of questions. i am engaged in a discussion with a
western
feminst academic. and my access to books ($) has been limited for a couple of
years so im
limited to atikuls i can find online and a a couple of books i have at home.

any comments, refernces, views and atikuls would be helpful too.

Jazakallah khair,

Salam,
there is one link where you can find a bunch of
articles (some more some less feminist), it's:
--- fahd
<frawthttp://www.crescentlife.com/thisthat/feminist_muslims.htm
There are articles from Riffat Hassan, Asma Barlas and
so on. You can also find a link there to get to read
the first chapter of the book of Asma Barlas:
Believing Women. Unreading patriarchal interpretations
which I highly recommand.
Some other stuff on:
http://www.maryams.net/articles.shtml

Good luck,
Jeanette
