Muslim Women In History
Her position in early Islam was really an exemplary one, one that should be studied and known by every woman as well as every liberationist in the twentieth century - in America as well as in the Muslim World. The Muslim woman, if she is true to the principles of her religion, has lessons in equality to teach the Westerner, and her descendants in the East have to learn anew the role demanded of them by their religion. Orientalists and orientals zealous for modernization should cease to put the blame on Islam, a blame which instead deserves to fall on their own ignorance of the faith and on the political and social decline which their nations suffered in the past. - Lois Lamya Al-Faruqi Women, Muslim Society and Islam
