Islamic Activist Says 'Islam gives many rights to women' - Yet The Real Issue Is Islam's Need For Reform

Topics: Understanding Islam

Aalima Nowhera Shaikh, president of the newly launched Muslim women's organisation, At-Tawheed International Dawah Centre for Women, says that the Quran does not give permission to kill innocent people and that women should know about their many rights under Islam. However, Shaikh speaks of the interpretations of male clerics, the use of Arabic, and the lack of education for women, yet doesn't the matter of the male clerics and the use of Arabic bring up another more important matter - a need for reforming Islam, a faith that presently has no heirarchy and no "supervised" guidelines, both or which have contributed to the ability of so many male clerics being able to come up with their own interpretations and the preaching of violent jihad instead of peace and love?
