first, imposing a Western brand of ideals in a culturally and traditionally different group of people is wrong and ineffective.
it is wrong since there is no culture that is in the absolute right and there is no culture that is superior over the other. what we have are nations that have the political power to impose their beliefs. this power to impose is not the true measure of righteousness.
it is also ineffective since, although not impossible, it is very difficult to change a group of people's traditions. even after several centuries of indoctrination, some of the practices would still reappear.
second, there are already movements, although still very small, towards feminism in Islamic groups. there is no need for Western feminism since the Muslims themselves already have the appropriate answer to their problems. what these groups are aiming for is the rediscovery of the true message or interpretation of the Quran since, in their argument, the Quran does not endorse or encourage the mistreatment and subjugation of women.
third, for change to be effective and long-lasting, it must come from within. these change, according to Habermas, must be discovered and initiated by the people who wants change.

They need to move on and see that women should be able to vote, drive, have freedom of expression, choose their partners, be able to go out in public without a male relative....
Their patriarchal society just screams of being frightened of if women did have free will-they couldn't handle that.
They may not want to embrace all western views as some will not be compatible with religion.
I'm sure a lot of Asian-Muslim women would welcome changes.

You cannot be serious.
The vicious islamonazi thugs have declared war on us and you think that we cannot impose feminism on them?
Where have you been?
Do you want to be stoned to death, hanged or beaten to death for having a relationship with a man who is not your husband?
you need a serious reality check.
The Muslims extremists are criminal thugs.
Would you permit violent murderous felons to take over the neighborhood where you live?
If you would not permit violent murderous felons to take over the neighborhood where you live, why should you permit them to take over the neighborhoods anywhere else?
You claim to support Muslims. However if you really supported Muslims you would not support a few violent thugs to take over a country and dominate people in the name of Islam.
The first step against domination by vile evil thugs is the importation of feminism.
This is particularly true in Muslim countries.
Those vile evil men need to learn that they do not rule the roost anymore.

When Muslim women are beaten and jailed for being gangraped a little feminism injected into their sick culture might actually do some good in the long run.

I think that if some of the people want to change things in Asian-Muslim cultures that it is up to them to do it and to decide how they are going to do it. Borrownig or not borrowing ideas from elsewhere is also up to themselves and no one else......

islam is incompatable with personal freedom of any kind
it is not compatable with a government of a republic or democratic process, since it is a theocracy controlled and run by men who rule by the nature of their sin
feminism flurishes though perhaps underground.
islam controls by fear, intimidation, murder, unjust courts, and criminal action sanctioned by the nation it controls.
I would like to see all followers of islam walk away from it. they won't, others would murder them.
