Both Asra Nomani and her conservative detractors are idiots and nothing else.

Islam like all religions has a patriarchal undertone and Muhammad (pbuh) established patriarchy.

That he was not the 21st century crusader for women’s rights doesn’t make him less of a man and a historical figure nor does it stop us from standing for women’s rights.

We do not want to interfere in the affairs of other people, but this is a serions matter. If asra nomani is actually an unmarried mother, it makes her a ZAANEE (adulterer) and perhaps you all know the punishment of zana in Islam. How can the comment of such a woman be an advice to muslims and who gaver her right to do such acts which are no less than a fatwa?

For the record WOMEN ARE EQUAL TO MEN. If I am not mistakeing, Islam was the first religion to declare that women are equal.Even in colonial times women were view as property. This is a sharp contrast to what the muslims believe. People objected to prophet Mohamad when he caried this message at first. Also nobody here is saying that women should pray in lesser facilties then the men. All we are saying is that there should be seperation between them. I will say it again in true Islam WOMEN ARE JUST AS GOOD AS MEN. IN FACT THERE WAS A FEMALE PRESIDENT IN A ISLAMIC NATION.

I find some comments on Asra Nomani quite distasteful and intolerant.
Prophet Mohammad’s message is of peace and tolerance. His life is an
example of tolerance and peace. A woman in Mecca use to throw dirt on him when he passed near her house. The Prophet tolerated it and never
even scolded her. One day when no dirt was thrown at him; he stopped and inquired about her. He was told that she was unwell. The Prophet
called on her and wished her well. We all should follow such examples of the Prophet.

By writing nasty comments on Asra Nomani, one can only harm the cause
of Islam. Certainly one can differ with her and even argue with her but
keeping view the message of the Prophet — Peace and Tolerance.

In my view what Asra Nomani is doing is enhancing the image of Islam.
She is a brave and courageous woman.

Haitham you are a bigger idiot for even bothering with shit like this and commending these idiots.

First, thank you!

Second, please try putting content into context. If you notice that this post is two years old. During that period (and until now) Muslims and Islam are at the top of the hit list by the media and “war against terrorism.”

One of the main problem that we have here is resistance to paradigm shift. Best example is your comment which separates the case of this lady from the propaganda against Islam and Arab from one side and the war and killing of innocents from other side.

This lady supposed to be representing Islam and Muslims in the West. That time and until now, people like her are made to headlines to dehumanize Muslims and discredit Islam and followers from their culture and history and future. Therefore, try to look at the big picture and how things are connected. It’s not about this lady, it is about the whole thing all together.

On the other hand, I don’t think that you will find any blogger from this part of the world who talked and still talk about war and justice like this blog. So, please stop playing the superwomen game.

i find it weird that women can not pray in the same room as men in America but they DO in ALgeria , And Most Mosques in MOrocco Both are Muslims countries where i have lived for many years . so those who are not familiar with islam on this site, do not think it is the case in al mosques . women can pray with men , but on the back but in the same room and they enter the mosque from the front using the same door.
whoever is forbidding women to pray with men in the US are very wrong i wont be surprised if they were Wahabis from saudi arabia .

I am very impressed by Asra Nomani. She has really been
courageous and brave to take on the Wahabis. She is on the
right path of Ijtehad. May Allah help and guide her.

I read the book accidentally thanks to a friend who pointed
it out to me in a Mumbai bookshop. I wish there were more
Muslim women like Asra Nomani to reform Islam and take on
those who are coming in the way of our most tolerant and liberal
religion. I am sure Asra has read Maulana Abul Kalam Azad and
is inspired by him as we all liberal Indian Muslims are.
