Basically, a prof named Lila who is of Arab decent but seems to be atheist to the best I can acknowledge, she always hears the western opinion that Muslim women may be oppressed by watching the media in the West that shows.
Frequent reports of honor killings, disfigurement, and sensational abuse have given rise to a consensus in the West, a message propagated by human rights groups and the media is an indictment of a mindset that has justified all manner of foreign interference, including military invasion, in the name of rescuing women from the of foreign interference, including military invasion, in the name of rescuing women from the middle east. She travels to Egypt in a rural village and spends a few mths living with Muslim women. Basically she discovers these women love the life they live and our proud of their religion, she does say they do not have as many rights as women in the West do but she blames that on their oppressive government and not on their religion, she personally feels however that to try and speak for their rights could be mistaken for being prejudice against people in the middle east as a whole.
She discovers the women there love their life and family and do not want to leave the right but secretly wishes they had more rights, that is just of the book. The author Lila says quote, “Women in Islamic countries don’t need to be saved from Islam but from the corrupt government.”
2 things to help:
1. The reason I choose this book was because when I was in my early 20s I heard Bill Mahr at night say on TV: Bill Maher put it this way: “When there are that many bad apples, there’s something wrong with the orchard.” Elaborating, he continued: “Obviously the vast majority of Muslims would never do anything like this, but they share bad ideas … revenging the Prophet? A bad idea. Martyrdom? A bad idea. Women as second-class citizens?
2. My favorite part of the book is her answer: As Abu-Lughod reminds us, when you are saving someone from something, you are also “saving her to something.” The presumption of those who would save Muslim women from their unfreedom is that identification with Islam can only be a negative experience and that they are being saved to a more ideal alternative. But, Abu-Lughod argues, different women might be “called to personhood, so to speak, in different languages.” Over and over, Abu-Lughod insists that her readers contemplate the possibility that not all women seek an identical life.
Abu-Lughod’s answer to the second question—how this common sense emerged —is a fascinating one, and requires tracing the strange career of “Muslim women’s rights” across diverse terrain. While she is hardly alone in critiquing the flattened stereotype of the abject Muslim woman, Abu-Lughod brings refreshing new observations to this well-trodden ground. The threads she identifies as woven into this stereotype include political imperatives, the generation of a fantasy “IslamLand,” and a peculiar convergence of the utopian (the human rights movement) and mass-market scandal narratives about Muslim women’s subjection.
