Thanks for your comments!
When I menti...Hi Shamiah,<br />Thanks for your comments!<br />When I mention 'material safety', I see it as part of the effort one has to make before 'tawakkal' - tie your camel up before praying to God to take care of it.<br />I just read the article - I'm not familiar with Greer or Gilligan's work so I can't fully comment.<br />The bits about biology seem a bit deterministic since various social contexts do affect our social roles, but I do like the 'story of salvation' towards the end.(:<br />Do forward me other links or readings that you find worthwhile - would love to read more.Musliminahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15086763636766699739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8918410539312651928.post-84934753280992408402011-04-12T10:45:13.851-07:002011-04-12T10:45:13.851-07:00Hi, Sya!
It's Shamiah, and I found your blog ...Hi, Sya!<br /><br />It's Shamiah, and I found your blog via facebook. It's been a lovely read (with lovely photos!) and your parodies of election videos are especially entertaining, haha, so keep them coming.<br /><br />Had to comment on this particular post because reconciling feminism and Islam has always been an issue with me too, and I wonder if you've read this: Boys will be boys, by Abdal Hakim Murad?<br /><br />Link: http://www.masud.co.uk/ISLAM/ahm/boys.htm<br /><br />For me, that particular paper has been the best piece on gender issues and Islam, period, and gave me some peace of mind with regard to the value of women. Because ultimately, the only value is one's value in the eyes of God, and God only prefers one over the other in terms of taqwa, not gender. As long as we measure worth by worldly means, women are wont to fall short. It's really something to mull over; this world is but a stopover. :)sham bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06097076353603482580noreply@blogger.com
