The history in general of political
Islam
- Discussion on women and human rights in
Muslim societies (Worldwide women's group says basic rights
common to all)
- By Joanne L. Nix, USIA Staff Writer, USIS Wasinginton
File, 14 July 1997. Being able to say what you think is a
universal human right. The idea of family values is
universal. Women's human rights education is a vital
part of the democratization process. That is the policy of
the Sisterhood Is Global Institution (SIGI), an
international non-profit organization.
- Slain Muslim Feminist Writer
Honoured
- By Nadire Mater, IPS, 6 March 2000. Practising feminism
and criticising the established religion in an Islamist
society can literally result in death as slain feminist
writer, Konca Kuris, tragically discovered. Kuris was
tortured and slain, allegedly by Hizbollah, for her
interpretation of Islam from a modern feminist point of
view.
