[quote]Fifteen Tips for Muslim Men talking about "Women in Islam" Guidance for Muslim men on how to deal effectively with the stereotypes and misperceptions about women in Islam. 1. Let the sisters speak No matter how well-spoken, eloquent or intelligent a brother is, the bottom line is this: he is not a Muslim woman. 2. Be careful of mixing up the ideal with the reality 3. Don’t sacrifice speaking out against injustice in the name of protecting Islam’s "image" 4. Don’t respond to unspoken accusations A number of times, Muslims automatically start an apologetic tirade defending the status of women in Islam before a person has even said a word. Let the other person initiate questions, and answer calmly and confidently. You may be responding to an accusation that was never even in the person’s mind in the first place. 5. Ask WHY 6. Agree with people as much as possible Start off agreeing with a person. It will completely turn the tables on the discussion, as many people begin discussions on women in Islam assuming Muslims are completely against the notion of women’s rights. 7. If you don’t know something SAY SO If a person tells you they’re from X country you’ve never heard of and Muslim women are treated in a horrible fashion what can you say about it? I have never heard of that, and I don’t know are simple enough. Don’t start apologizing, or denying that it happens. Tell the truth. http://www.islamfortoday.com/15tips.htm Edited by: raushan on Thursday, February 15, 2007 3:11 PM[/quote]
