    Are the sisters getting it right?

    Report bad ads?

    I came across an article in the Spectator about the launch of the Centre for Secular Space where Muslim and ex-muslim women campaign for greater freedoms. Has anyone heard of this group?

    I wish I could post a link but I can't.

    Re: Are the sisters getting it right?

    I wish I could post links. I am trying to do a hundred and one things this evening. I am a big fan of human rights activist Maryam Namadzie as well. Anyone heard of her and her "One law for all campaign"? It seems of a similar ilk to the Centre for Secular Space although she is most definitely an ex-muslim.

    As stated.. post for us what you think is a freedom in the west & contrast it to what isn't found in the Muslim world.. There's no point to links if you know the facts,

    Re: Are the sisters getting it right?

    Most ex muslim woman, try to raise the issue of equality, I think it is some kind of justification for leaving Islam, as it is the most annoying label that anti muslims try to stick it on us. We are free, we can work, study, and live a life of freedom because we are slave to Allah only, not to society, or fashion, or all the sad things most woman are slave to, so for me, it really annoys me when people try to stick that label, I dress modestly ( my choice), I am not slave to society ( my choice).so for ex-muslims and anti Muslims, try to find other woman to liberate, Islam has given us our freedom.

    OK. Now she is one hater of all religions especially Islam and will find any excuse to attack it, make malicious accusations, promote Atheism and on top of that she gets credit for it; she was selected one of the top 45 women of the year 2007 in the magazine Elle Quebec (the French version of Elle) N
    o surprises there, eh?

    She's the spokesperson for "One Law for All Campaign" and it is opposes faith based laws and is against implementing Shariah law in Great Britain.

    Re: Are the sisters getting it right?

    That is Maryam. You sound a little threatened by her stance. Why would anyone choose to be a slave to a deity? Why would any deity worth worshiping require such obedience under threat of eternal pain? I really don't get it. As for freedom, the west still has a long way to go before women are seen as equals but I fear that aspects if Islam are still stuck in the middle ages and if the media is to be believed, there are many who would choose to keep it there.

    I am fed-up reading justifications as to why men should be able to have four wives, why women enjoy hiding themselves in public and why women don't really want to drive. This is why I am here, to try and get a different perspective. To find out if there is such a thing as a moderate muslim, if people can be muslim without believing in god and what changes you would like to see.

    If she were still a Muslim, I doubt she would be allowed to be so vocal.
