The incessant media onslaught on Islam and Muslims has many repercussions.
One of them is the task of defending Islam and Muslims has become like being Devil's advocate.
The problem is compounded by the Muslims (and too many times Muslimahs) who are followers of Lord Macaulay. Here is one example of female graduated in 2009 from Women's College at AMU.
She has the tag of London School of Economics.
(And LSE tag is mightier than AMU tag, isn't it?)
Your poor Alig would like to respond to her atrocity in the context of so called gender discrimination in AMU later on but first few remarks about this blog itself.
She is a self-claimed feminist.
Now who is a feminist?
The best definition is that it is a person (man, woman or otherwise) who advocates equal rights for women.
The central point in the context of Islam and Muslims will be whether Islam and Muslims are anti-feminist or not.
In the Holy Qur'an Allah(SWT) explicitly says that man and woman are equal. This is said in the context of husband and wife relationship.
From this Verse of the Holy Qur'an it is apparent that anybody (including silly Muslims) blaming Islam for being ant-feminist is dishonest-with apologies for bluntness.
But this does not wind up the story.
At the same place Allah(SWT) says that man has slight preference over woman.
This is the tie breaker in the family dynamics.
It is unlikely the people like above Alig (in all probability she is ashamed of being one-it is apparent from her Library article) will be impressed with this.
But then Allah(SWT) does not have to impress any body. We obey or disobey Him only to our gain and loss respectively.
But even the most advanced women admit that leader of the house is supposed to be man.
Most people learn this. Only few learn it when it is too late.
May Allah(SWT) guide us and this girl on the right path.
