You want to know why the western world, led by the United States, is swirling around the toilet bowl before descending down the sewer pipe of historical oblivion? This stuff is why.
In universities in India, Japan, China, Korea etc they’re teaching about engineering, physics, chemistry, medicine, software designing, look at what a prominent university in the US at huge expense is teaching an intelligent young woman from Indonesia;
‘Experiencing’ severe gender discrimination
exploring [the] interplay between architecture and gendered practices
‘HIS’tory overlooks them!
gender jihad ….. to establish gender justice in Muslim thought and praxis. At the simplest level, gender justice is gender mainstreaming – the inclusion of women in all aspects of Muslim practice, performance, policy construction, and in both political and religious leadership
Blah, blah fcking blah, trust me the west is finished.
This is the sort of gobbledegook that the soap dodgers of the “Occupy” movement feel should be subsidised by hard working taxpayers so that gormless twerps can enjoy the university life into their thirties before taking some non-productive job with a “non-profit” or NGO and sponging off the workers till they retire on an index-linked pension.
The future’s bright, the future’s Asian.
people just like to be upset the woman is upset about gender stuff and the commentors are upset about her.
follow the quran and sunnah. finished. sudah!!!
Good luck Tutin, but please lose the tiresome academic jargon. Use clear English and don’t parrot the buzzwords that have done nothing but decrease readership–and forced most thinking people away from academic literature. Be accessible.
Which Sunnah? Shia? the other mob? What about the other sects of Islam? Who’s understanding of the Koran are we going to with? Saudis? Malaysia perhaps ( but they cannot even get the banking right so maybe not..). Lets run with Aceh they are good a whipping little girls and the poor whilst the connected continue to plunder. Yea ok maybe not them..hmmmm Sudah????? Aku pikir Belum!
LOL BB!!
I guess abdul naseer is right!! And now let’s do the shalawat for gender justice!!!
The cowboy can kill the Indians,that is the law of the day.but in Islam all being to be treat same.Read Quraan Al’Mulk you will understand justic.
Really Nordin, perhaps you can explain the treatment of Indonesian maids in Saudi Arabia then or the treatment of Africian Muslims in the Sudan..mmm..closer to home what was that sect called starts with A? Oh how about Iraq would you prefer to be Sunni or Shia? ..Sorry you were saying?….
Perhaps a little less reading and little more notice of what is happening in the real world..
As for the cowboys… Where would you rather be a Muslim in cowboy land or China or did you not get told about that as well?
Feminist academical mumbo jumbo and all that “politically correct” way of speaking…that sometimes begins to look like a kind of censorship…
Wast of tax payers money
It would be better if she studied architecture and designed a mosque with confortable areas for women
If you were my daughter I’d advice you go back to University of Illinois, get an adjunct position and use it as you pulpit to get your points across and slowly coerce change. On the other hand you can remain in a society where free speech and gender equality doesn’t exist and become a martyr. But your not my daughter, so just follow your heart.
This is at once a politically and theologically sensitive subject you’ve broached upon. I would remind your critics and as Oigal alluded to, it is incorrect to speak of ‘Islam tradition’ as if it were a single, monolithic voice. It is as fragmented as are the nations of Islam. We can only speak of Shi’ite or Sunni tradition and its numerous tribal and national variations. Even the critics who insist there is a clear ‘Islam tradition’, then you must admit there is at the very least a clash between its modernist and traditional interpretation. The modernists would argue that the spirit of the Qur’an would be more in sync with modernity’s insistence on rational, intellectually supported change than the dogmatic Shari’a formulations that are upheld sacrosanct by virtue of their ‘divine’ origin, a position which the Sunnah of the Prophet would deem as ‘superstitious’ and ‘irrational’.
There is an expression among Islamic scholars:
????? ?? ???????? ? ????? ????
Two Moslems, 3 opinions.
Insha’Allah and Go Girl!
