El-Ghobashy Stereotypes

459 Words | 2 Pages

El-Ghobashy’s relative privilege as an academic at an Ivy League school affects the rhetorical choices she makes in the essay by serving as justification for her thoughts and actions. She is able to express her concern on stereotypes in a logical and academic way that makes her a credible source. It also serves to defy stereotypes. Her privilege supports her argument that one Muslim woman cannot represent all Muslim woman and her belief that stereotypes need to be disregarded because she is a Muslim woman working for a doctorate degree, which may seem like a feat to someone who believes in and contributes to the use of stereotypes. In her essay, she also notes that hundreds of “other Muslims, Sikhs, and non-Muslim Arabs contended with physical

How The Stereotypes Of Muslim Women Reflected In The Film Purl

1555 Words | 7 Pages

Therefore, through this harmful line of thinking, many members of society – even subconsciously – have developed this ideation and this preconceived notion regarding Muslim women, thus why stereotyping is so harmful to society as it separates us rather than connects us. Furthermore, as an individual, this statement harms her as it influences the view others have of her, thus influencing her overall sense of self and identity in a negative manner. However, the concern held by society is regarding much more than simply the hijab, “Of course, the issue at hand is more than a mere piece of cloth. I am a Muslim woman who, like millions of other Muslim women across the globe, chooses to wear the hijab.” This quote shows that the matter is not simply the hijab, but it is more than that.

Stereotypes Why Middle Eastern Men Abuse Women

1093 Words | 5 Pages

It is not like a man would beat a woman and make an entire shelter to keep her safe from harm. There no way that these shelters would exist if all the men in the area were abusive. Accompanying the new laws and shelters, women share the same legal rights and freedoms as men in Tunisia, Morocco, Algeria and Lebanon. Women are also appearing in Middle Eastern parliaments more often like in Kuwait (“Women’s rights take baby steps forward in Mideast”). Certainly the men who knock out women would allow them to be politically and legally equal, right?

Gender Roles In Islam And Judaism

363 Words | 2 Pages

My project on monotheistic religions bases itself on the aspect and influence gender roles in Islam and Judaism has on their followers and comparing the two of the religions. I researched the question how do gender roles differ in the two religions and found that both Islam and Judaism have very similar bones to their gender laws or roles but also some difference origins. Islamic gender roles put emphasis on the idea of stereotypical gender roles; women stay home to cook, clean, look after her children, and keep her husband happy. The most ideal Islamic wife is stripped of her socioeconomic status, status with the family, health decisions, independence, freedom, and rights. This however is not expressed in the Qur’an.

Stereotypes Of Saudi Women In The 21st Century

1492 Words | 6 Pages

One of the examples which shows how culture affects religion beliefs, is forcing women to marry men who they don’t want to, also some families forbid their daughters to see and meet their future husbands; they think that Islam gives the women’s families the right to choose for their daughter instead of asking them or even taking their opinion. It’s obvious that these thoughts came from culture and misunderstanding of religion, because according to Islam, a woman can’t be forced to marry a man she doesn’t want to, and she is the only one who has the right to agree or not ("The conflict between religion and Culture in Saudi Arabia. " Conflict Analysis and Resolution). Therefore people have to draw a clear divide or line between their culture and religion, in order to avoid having this kind of misinterpreting of religion which controls people’s mind especially men in Saudi

Feminist Critique

In other words, these religions are supporting the women’s human right; they strictly believe in their cultural relativism. Muslims believe that abortion is a wrong and haram activity. According to Islamic Law, all life matters; “Killing an innocent human even in its early stages as in abortion is like killing the whole of mankind, and to save a single human even in its fetus or embryonic stage is like saving the life of the whole of mankind. Killing an innocent human is considered to be one of the mortal sins.” It is also supported by the statement in Jack Donnelly’s book, “In Islam, in the realm of “human rights”, what matters is duty rather than rights, and the rights that one does hold are a consequence of one’s status or actions, not the moral fact of being human.”

Muslims Inequality Under Sharia Law

2035 Words | 9 Pages

Muslims still suffer from serious inequality under Sharia Law. Under the Sharia Law, women are not allowed to perform certain acts without having a serious consequence. If the male does it, there would be no consequence or the consequence would not be as serious. In Arabic, Sharia is defined as “way to the watering hole.” Meaning that in a difficult and harsh environment, following the watering hole path would promise survival and in religious text, would lead to a pleasurable afterlife.

All Monotheist Religions Essay

1052 Words | 5 Pages

All monotheist religions, without exception, are basically anti-women. They are against the freedom and rights of women; they oppress women’s liberty under the name of tradition, culture, customs and patriarchal systems. In Muslim countries the situation is worse than elsewhere, clearly because there is no separation between religion and state. The law is based on religion also known as the “Sharia” law, which is the source of legalizing the oppression against women. This type of law being more prominent in Islam countries doesn’t necessarily mean that it respects the laws of ethics.

The Importance Of Being Earnest Sexism Essay

1512 Words | 7 Pages

This Gale research article over all of the waves of feminism shows the struggle that women have gone through in order to achieve the same quality of life as a man. Ideas that were present in the 1800s still carry over today and that is why I think that sexism is such a huge problem in the middle-eastern countries. Religion is also a huge factor in deciding who is in charge and has been to blame for many societies in which women are discriminated against. One way that religion oppresses women is muslim women being forced to “wear a hijab” because a man did not want his wife to be looked at (Feminism). It is important that women experience the same freedoms as men no matter where this may be.
