Muslim women of all ages, economic status,
educational backgrounds, sexual orientations, and from different parts of
historically Muslim countries suffer the kinds of atrocities that violate
common understandings of human rights and are normally denounced as criminal
or pathological, yet these actions are sustained because they uphold some
religious doctrine or some custom blessed by local traditions. Ironically, while
instances of abuse meted out to women and even female children are routine,
scholarship about Muslim women in the post 9/11 era has rarely focused
attention on them, preferring to speak of women’s agency and resistance. Too
few scholars are willing to tell the complicated, and at times harrowing,
stories of Muslim women's lives. This book radically rethinks the celebratory
discourse constructed around Muslim women’s resistance. It shows instead the
limits of such resistance and the restricted agency given women within
Islamic societies. |

entertains representatives of Sheik Gilani?? It is true that reality is
stranger than fiction.
