Re: 男女生而平等和女子入室为安――小议伊斯兰教的妇女观(八十一子) | Mar 27 2005- A very nice piece indeed!
People in the West tend to evaluate another civilization in terms of how different it is from the western civilization. This propensity has been repeatedly admonished against by many scholars in the west, yet unfortunately, has been repeatedly manifested in the government propaganda and the main stream media eager to please the government. The net results of such collusion are that most people in North America have accepted the version imposed upon them by the media as objective and truthful.
If we all can see that Islamic women are living a life most of them embrace as a key ingredient to their religion and society, there is one less pretext under which a western country may invade an Islamic society.
Many human tragedies on the historical or civilization scale stem from the deliberate distortion of facts and truth, and calculated manipulation of people. Hopefully, in todays world, the power of truth, coupled with the information technology, may reduce the frequency of social disintegration due to those maneuvers.
