Basically, Muslim women dont need feminism. We have our rights already- those given to us by God. There are no better rights than these. And so many of the things that feminists fight for are totally against Islam anyway.

May I ask why chiristian women dont support it?
Some do and some don't. From what I gather some christians do not support feminist actions because feminists are largely associated with abortion rights, sexual liberation, etc...
Don't get me wrong I'm not a feminist. I doubt that they'd like me all that much.

In Malaysia, Sisters in Islam (SIS) support pluralism, freedom of apostacy, woman as imam in mixed congregation, anti-polygamy, anti-Hijab. They have their voices on many local newspapers and 'Al Islam' magazine.
Aisha(ra) - Army Commander
Khadijah(ra) - financial supporter of her husband
Mary(p) - Most honered woman in Islam
Rabbia - The only saint in Islam
Fatima(ra) - has a sect named after her....
Islam sees a woman, whether single or married, as an individual in her own right, with the right to own and dispose of her property and earnings. A marriage dowry is given by the groom to the bride for her own personal use, and she keeps her own family name rather than taking her husband's.
Both men and women are expected to dress in a way which is modest and dignified; the traditions of female dress found in some Muslim countries are often the expression of local customs and not Islam it self.
Without women, there wouldn't be al-Islam as it is today.
Why should we have Islamic Feminist,
I think there are some "fake" muslims males
who step on the women's rights,in the name of islam.
Sisters should care for their fellow sisters n tell her about her rights
I personally cant relate to the feminist groups that exist now.I mean they hold meetings to curse men or wat
Islam provides total freedom to women,that's why many of the converts are women

I don't agree with alot of the feminist agenda. But they have obtained rights for women which they previously did not have. Many of these rights are enjoyed by muslim women as well.

.....& most of them dont even aware that there is a verse in the Quran for them to cover themselves in hijab! ....& if they ever did, most would be more than happy not to obliged, & yet they call themselves Sister in Islam...

You have a point. Some of the freedoms female muslims enjoy and appreciate are ignored by other female muslims. I'm not saying ones right or wrong. There's just a difference in opinion or practice.

Our Lord! Verily, we have heard the call of one calling to Faith: 'Believe in your Lord,' and we have believed.
Our Lord! Forgive us our sins and expiate from us our evil deeds, and make us die (in the state of righteousness) along with Al-Abrar
