Do Muslim Women Really Need Saving? Thesis: While America attempts to “save” the Muslim women from the Taliban, they’re missing the big picture. Instead of “liberating” the women of their burqas, Americans need to leave their ethnocentric ideas behind and come to the realization that they are ignoring far more important issues of the Afghani woman. For example, creating an environment free of war for the safety of the Afghani woman. Support: Burqas are often worn for modesty, protection,…

only a small percentage of muslims participating in extremist groups and attacks there is no justification for the backlash brought upon the muslim community. Islamophobia only brings about hostility and assults, both physically and verbally, towards muslims.

Truth be told, the idea of hidden lady…

March 22, 2015 Is it a crime to be a Muslim? How come being a Muslim such a crime in America?

Race: Black Muslim Women Race is a term used to identify ourselves with. For some, it comes with hatred and discrimination to their specific racial group of people. There is a background of race and explanations of the origin of race hatred. In my opinion, I think Black Muslim women are the most interrogated people of America.
