With one question, journalist Mona Eltahawy unleashed a harsh critique of women's rights in the Arab world. With these five words in a controversial magazine article, Egyptian-American journalist Mona Eltahawy shot to fame, unleashing a devastating critique of womenÂ’s rights in the Arab world. In the season premiere of Head to Head , Mehdi Hasan challenges Eltahawy on her views regarding the status of women in Arab states. Are Arab or Muslim societies inherently patriarchal? And how does the narrative of Islam as sexist play into geo-politics and Western stereotypes of the Middle East? Joining the discussion is Dr Aitemad Muhanna of the London School of EconomicsÂ’ Middle East Centre; self-proclaimed progressive Imam Dr Taj Hargey; and Dr Shuruq Naguib, a British-Egyptian academic from Lancaster University. http://www.aljazeera.com/programmes...o-arab-men-hate-women-201421282224596667.html
70% of all new converts to Islam both in Europe and the USA are women. This is why that is the fastest growing religion in the world.
