Do Muslim Feminists exist?

Answer 1

Yes they do, and are doing a dangerous thing,

Islamic feminists, Muslim feminists and Islamists

There are subtle yet substantial differences to be noted between the terms 'Islamic feminist', 'Muslim feminist' and those regarded as 'Islamists'. Islamic feminists ground their arguments in Islam and its teachings[9], seek the full equality of women and men in the personal and public sphere and can include non-Muslims in the discourse and debate. Differently, Muslim feminists are people who consider themselves Muslims and feminist but who may use arguments outside Islam, for example, national secular law or international human rights agreements, to counter gender inequality. See, for example, the Ni Putes Ni Soumises (Neither Whores Nor Submissives) movement, which started in deprived areas of France (the banlieue). Islamists are advocates of political Islam, the notion that the Quran and hadith mandate an Islamic government. Some Islamists advocate women's rights in the public sphere but do not challenge gender inequality in the personal, private sphere [10].

Note that any of the above can be men or women.

Answer 3

i don't think of the feminist circulation is in charge, it truly is purely women human beings affirming their top to be dealt with both. basically because women actually everyone appears a majority does no longer recommend they were no longer dealt with as a minority. persons and communities of people are consistently attempting to take earnings(ok no longer all of us). even as one team features some means they conflict to make it everlasting. for the length of historic past one team, race of religion has preyed upon others. commonly the oppressed look prepared contributors in this oppression, check out many muslim women human beings in the present day. Many adult adult males are satisfied to ensure equality between the sexes yet there'll consistently those(adult adult males & women human beings) who search for means by supressing others. it truly is why it truly is aways a not in any respect ending battlle as far as repayment, i'm completely antagonistic to historic repayment, because it can't in any respect end. If we pay blacks for slavery, what about indians, then what about the irish or italians or chinese. All were dealt with harshly even as they first arrived. If a black has a white slave proprietor as a ancestor does he get a lot less being 0.5 slave or extra because it changed into probable by using rape. a thanks to we caculate the tax we can impose to pay repayment on someone who arrived from china contained in the 1920's. we may opt for the genogical historic past of truly everyone contained in the U. S. from the date the first slave arrived to in the present day to caculate their part of the debt. Who will pay for the indians, basically those whose ancestors were right here to the time we stopped killing them or each of how till now on condition that they're nonetheless discriminated antagonistic to. Why no longer basically provide them decrease back their land. the position are you going to flow to.
