But…but I thought all Muslims were supposed to be barbaric sexists from the Stone Age.

Oh wait.

I don’t really get how so many people are thinking I’m saying there are absolutely 0 problems for women in these countries because of this. Like, of fucking course there are issues that need addressing. But you know who’s not helping? All you people who act like all Muslims hate all women and can’t even see a woman without stoning them to death, or whatever bullshit you message me. All you people who think you know what’s best for Muslim women when your picture of them is solely what you see on the news and in the movies. And all you people that perpetuate more hateful bullshit towards Muslim people.

“I
have just turned 71 and this is an issue that has been living with me
since I embraced Islam some 50 years ago, and that’s how women are
treated in our mosques. Women are feeling totally disfranchised in our
mosque communities and we feel like second-class citizens in our own
spiritual spaces. We have documented this through statistical analysis
that there is a very deep decline in the number of
women attending the mosque. They need to feel that they have a place in
the mosque that they have a right to be in the mosque and that the
community needs them in the mosque. Scholars need to hear this message
that this is not tolerable any longer to tell women that they are not
allowed in the mosque or to be put in the basements or the closets or
undignified place.”

– Aisha Al Adawiyyah at the 2015 Muslims For Peace Forum in Abu Dhabi
