islamic women where the first to have independent property. futhermore muslim women also have the right to divorce if their marriage is not working. women also have the right to testify in court of law. this all came in to play before the united states had womens rights. what most people dont realize is the Quran has laws about violence against women specially in marriagr and duress situations.
Nasca Riverbend’s description of her life in Iraq before and after US’ invasion differs drastically from United States media representations of Arab woman and US government rhetoric regarding war on terror. Baghdad Burning: Girl Blog from Iraq discusses the war in Iraq and daily life in the perspective from an Arab girl, “Riverbend.” Women throughout history of all races and ethnicities have dealt with hardships or oppressions at large; however, the United States has gained a false pretense as to the “oppressions” Arab women have faced before the war. By grouping all the countries in the Middle East together and thinking the problems and customs were identical, United States has gained false view of what women in Iraq are really going through.

Impact of Islam on Women Islam has had a major impact on women in the past millennia and a half since its origin. Islam, its teachings, God and the Quran have all affected the treatment, perception and even fashion of Islamic women. The Quran directly provides guidelines for the treatment of women, several Islamic scholars have defined the rights available to women and even Muhammad’s own words (The Hadith) declare the value of an Islamic woman as opposed to an Islamic man. It’s undeniable irrefutable that the impact of Islamic first felt in the religion’s conception and still being received today, is perhaps one of the largest catalysts on woman and misogyny. The Quran outlined several different methods of treating women in its various passages.
The two cultures that fit this description of being highly dissimilar that I will talk about are dominant Yemeni culture versus the dominant American culture I know so well. I know everything about dominant American culture or DAC because I was raised here, so what better way to learn about dominant Yemeni culture than to read the autobiographical account of a girl who was raised there. The book that is imparting this knowledge to me is I Am Nujood, Age 10 and Divorced by Nujood Ali. The author, a young girl who has lived a life that is just as depressing as it is impressive courageously tells the reader everything that she has been forced to go through in a culture that does not value women or their sanity. On top of the most burning topic, the treatment of women, there are also many other differences between our cultures that I will cover.

Assalamualaikum, and good morning. My name is Hazrina and I’m a 14-year-old student from Malaysia. In this essay, I’m going to write about how people treat muslims in western countries.

Answers to section A. 1. Summary of “The many faces behind the veil” - an article written by Arifa Akbar and Jerome Taylor The article states different reasons for muslim women to wear hijab – religion, spirituality or even political views. Whereas detractors see this piece of clothing as a form of opression and asks :”why any woman would hide their face in public ?” Rahmanara Chowdhury ,a 29 year old student outreach worker with 7 sisters chose 9 years ago to wear the niqab – an Arabic garment that covers the whole face except the eyes.
