Women in Islam

Paper Summary:

This paper is written in first person and describes how after conversations with some Muslim men, the writer came to the conclusion that Islam's attitude to women is wrong and that their aim is to embarrass and control women.

From the Paper:

"When one experiences a religion that manipulates its fundamental beliefs to accommodate personal discrimination, it invalidates its purpose. It has always been my understanding that the belief in peace, faith, and conscientiousness is fundamental to any religion. As an example, the religion of Islam teaches the faithful how to live in harmony among the different races on the earth, as well as demonstrate to us how to differentiate between what is good and what is bad. In other words, to be Muslim is predicated on the concept that what one does not want for oneself, should not be wished for the fellow human being. As a result of my conversations with young Muslim men at Chapman College, I learned that this basic doctrine is being modified to frustrate and control women. Due to men's selfishness, and the pervasive desire to exercise superiority and control over females, current interpretations of the Islamic religion have made it a torture and misfortune for members of the female gender, and this cruel reality is best exemplified by its unfair concept of the role of women in Muslim society.
