“I am of opinion that Islam is the most oppressive religion to women. So, it is 
just a bull shit thing to talk about feminism in Islam.”  

This was what one of good friends wrote in her email some months ago. She 
happened to be not Muslim. While in fact, in several emails I sent her, I 
inserted what Fatima Mernissi—a Muslim feminist from Morocco—said: ““If the 
rights of Muslim women become problems for Muslim men, it is not because of 
Alquran or Islam itself; it is because these rights contradict with the wants 
of the elite Muslim men.” It is clearly stated that neither Islam nor Alquran 
is oppressive to women, but people—mostly men—who interpreted Alquran 
gender-biasedly.
