I would suggest you sit down with a pencil and paper and jot down what precipitated the hate in this thread. My first honest, benign post prompted a reply with an insult. It was this insult that opened the door to a discussion of why I was insulted. Another poster chimed in to help the insulter by saying the anger stemmed from not acknowledging the islamophobe's advanced knowledge. I then posted WHY the islamophobe's knowledge was faulty using an example. I'm sorry if the example of "equality" infuriates you. For a Muslim woman to say there is inequality in Islam toward women also implies that there is inequity in Islam. She can not and would not say that because it is simply not true. Practicing Muslim women feel that Islam is an extremely just and equitable system.

Of course she wouldn't.  Of course she'd feel that way.  But you know, a feeling is not a proof of anything.  How strongly you feel about something means nothing to anyone who isn't you.  We aren't measuring the intensity of feelings here. If Islamic rules concerning men and women appear unequal to someone, that someone ought to be able to say that without fear of someone's feelings getting hurt. [/quote]

This goes straight to micro aggression #4, I think it was. OP and western women have different definitions of women's equality. That in itself is OK: your definition for you, and my definition for me. The problems start when OP insists that everybody accept her definition and, if we don't accept it, and we disagree with her, then that makes us Islamophobes. [/quote]
