Mona ElTahawy's 'Why Do They Hate Us' Article, and the Muslim Brotherhood's response.(IsraelMatzav).Mona Eltahawy pens a lengthy article about the status of women in the Arab-Muslim world, which she is free to do because she lives in the United States. I urge you to read the whole thing - it's quite blunt.
I find it interesting that she does not mention Israel, which is really too bad, because the contrast between how Israel treats its women and how they are treated in countries like Egypt, Yemen and Saudi Arabia is stunning. I also wonder whether we would already have peace with the Arab-Muslim world if there were women in positions of power there. I would bet that we would at least be closer.
Don't hold your breath thinking we're going to find out anytime soon. The fact that Ms. Eltahawy does her writing from the US tells you all you need to know about that.Hmmm.......Ikhwanweb's Response to Mona ElTahawy's 'Why Do They Hate Us' Article "Far from constituting a solution, this type of one-dimensional reductionism and stereotyping is one of the problems facing Arab women."Read the full story here.
