The Status of Women in Islam

Peace Vision

About this ebook

In the West, Islam is believed to be the symbol of the subordination of women par excellence. In order to understand how firm this belief is, it is enough to mention that the Minister of Education in France, the land of Voltaire, has recently ordered the expulsion of all young Muslim women wearing the veil from French schools! A young Muslim student wearing a headscarf is denied her right of education in France, while a Catholic student wearing a cross or a Jewish student wearing a skullcap is not. The scene of French policemen preventing young Muslim women wearing headscarves from entering their high school is unforgettable. It inspires the memories of another equally disgraceful scene of Governor George Wallace of Alabama in 1962 standing in front of a school gate trying to block the entrance of black students in order to prevent the desegregation of Alabama's schools.

Ratings and reviews

Theres women all over the globe . Yet women in islam wear the hijab as a mark of there respect for the religion of islam this is our identy .. it also in my eyes does not let the wondering eye lay upon us in disrespect yet in great respect. Many wear it as an fashion icon me i wear it in respect of islam , plus greatly fear the punishment in akaruth astukfirullah. As for the country's that oppose the headscarf. Regardless will wear it, ,,

This is a free book but even after completing the dummy transaction of 0.0$ for which I have already received an acknowledgement mail from play store; I'm only able to read the sample of it which is hardly 6-7 pages.

This book is, overall, easy to read. I liked it. And it is free.... I don't understand done of these other reviews saying that its not.... reading that almost diverted me. I'm glad it didn't :)
