Women in Islam is a book that will open your eyes to the injustices some women face in Islam.
The issues are presented in such a way that encourage discussions.
Women is Islam is a book on a very timely topic.
The rights of women are discussed all
over the world but in
countries where Islam rules all, women have very few rights.
The articles in
this issue exposes the truth of how women are treated in the world of
Islam. It is a topic
the Western world rarely ever tackles. Many of the articles
address, domestic
abuse, dress code for women, where they must hide every part
of their body or
risk severe punishment, divorce issues, education for women,
female genitalia
mutilation a topic rarely spoken of in any circle.
The issues also
include readings about women from Islam living in the western
world and how they are perceived.
The book presents pro
and con views of these and many other issues pertaining
to women's rights. Also offers eyewitness stories as well as
statements from
country officials and politicians.
