Muslim Women Power List

Britain's most powerful Muslim women have been named for the first time. The Muslim Women Power List - unveiled at a ceremony in Manchester last night - was chosen by a panel of judges led by Trevor Phillips, chairman of the Equality and Human Rights Commission. The judges wsere asked to select women who had demonstrated significant results through strong leadership, successful performance in their chosen career, and had inspired their colleagues and peers.
 
Shazia Mirza's on it?

I've seen one of her stand-up comic routines.

Yasmin Alibhai-Brown's articles are always fun and insightful

if i was shown these pictures without someone telling me that they are actually muslim i would've thought otherwise.......to become powerful in the eyes of the westerner you have to take of the hijab.....they are muslims but only a quarter are wearing the hijab,its abit disappointing ..inshallah allah guides them and makes them acknowledge that the pleasure of having high status is nothing because life is abrupt and the duration of this false pleasure is just a millisecond compared to the hereafter

Warsi most powerful Muslim woman

Conservative peer Baroness Warsi of Dewsbury has been named Britain's most powerful Muslim woman.

The Power List was chosen by a panel led by Trevor Phillips, chairman of the Equality and Human Rights Commission.

The award was set up to celebrate high performers in business, the arts, media, voluntary and public sectors.

BBC News presenter Mishal Husain and Farmida Bi, a banking partner for law firm Norton Rose, were also in the top five of the Power List.

Lady Warsi said: "I personally come from a family of all girls, and was brought up to believe that anything was possible, and being a Muslim woman should in no way be seen as a barrier but as an asset to achievement.

"I'm extremely proud to be named as the most powerful British Muslim woman and I'm sure my Pakistani origins, my strong faith and my Yorkshire upbringing have played a huge part."

'Northern mum'

Sayeeda Warsi became the first Muslim woman to sit on the front bench of a British political party in July 2007 at the age of 36.

Straight-talking and combative - she describes herself as a "northern, working-class-roots mum".

She gave up her job as a solicitor in 2004 to stand for Parliament in her home town of Dewsbury, West Yorkshire, losing out to Labour's Shahid Malik.

She was also a special adviser on community relations to then Tory leader Michael Howard before receiving a peerage and becoming the party's vice-chairman.

Ms Warsi - who is married with a daughter - says her admiration for Conservative principles was inspired by her father, who went from working in a mill to running a £2m-a-year bed-manufacturing firm.

Baroness Warsi described the Muslim protestors in Luton as a 'bunch of nutters'.

You can watch it here.
 
cool
very inspiring indeed :)

and i agree that most of these women, im sure feel the hijaab is a barrier,whereas it should not be at all!
 
i want to see real strong muslimah's who have their hijabs and jilbabs tied firmly,what i dont want to see is sell outs who are nothing but conformists

if these women were in a competition 'who can best imitate the western women in terms of looks' they would win by a mile....they traded their islamic dress code prescribed by allah for the modern sexy look

i think there are a few who have the islamic dress code that i saw in the weblink fair play to them
 
Shelina Zahra Janmohamed blogs at Spirit 21. She is an Oxford graduate and she does wear the Hijaab also, Mashaa'Allah.
 
its unlucky amani zain wasn't added to the list....what a shocking program she made...'women in black'......she constantly showed muslim women dating,drinking,belly dancing and lap dancing...the whole lot! as if to say to the predominantly western viewers that 'look we are not shapless black blobs we like to have fun too' ridiculez!

Recently I noticed that the western elites incorporate only those muslims who think like them. That's a very smart idea I must say.
