Although I consider myself activist in equal gender rights movement (Feminism), I disagree with the use of the language of 'Lifting The Veil' in the CNN news report. Laura Bush used this language to pretend that the war in Afghanistan was 'providing freedom for Afghanis'. The veil, in many ways protects, and gives power to women in Muslim communities- that is not to say that in the middle east there is a desperate need for increased rights for women.
I think women are still not respected in this world. In the middle east women are being misused and in the west women are being treated as sex objects.
@imam14ma3soom1994 most feminists that I know say 'all men are rapists, they rape in their minds' and 'feminism it the theory, lesbianism is the practice'. So Imam, should these sort of women be given rights? I'm not saying the moderate women, but these extremists? You prefer women to do abortion if its men, decrease men's population, become lesbians by choice and use sperm bank as a replacement for men?
There is also a desperate need for change in the western world where sexism is increasingly invisible to many
