Muslim Women, Domestic Violence and the Role of Education and Awareness ProgramsImagine not knowing anything about Muslims except that they are sponsors of terrorism and that they are usually Arabs. With regards to women, the stories are even bleaker. They show that Muslims oppress their women, that they arbitrarily marry more than one wife and that their view of women is demeaning enough to condone honor killings. Ironically, one of the most positive aspects of Islamic law is the freedom, honor and prestige it assigns to Muslim women regardless of their race, nationality or socioeconomic status. No other religion or ideology can parallel the high regard that Islam has for women.
Do We Have the Right to Spy on Our Children?
We love and care about the safety of our children. However, can this love and fear for their safety be transferred into following them wherever they go? Should this fear go to the extent of spying on them or listening to their conservations? Should we pick on their behavior as adolescents? Do we have the right to interrupt their ideas, plans and their enjoyment of doing activities that they like to do? This is what we should fear before our children pay a heavy price for our actions.
