819 words

the stereotyped images that each suffers from
individually, the status of women in Islam is one

The end of the Cold War and the demise of the
Soviet communist empire have shown the dominance
of liberal democracy and capitalism over all other
possible alternatives. The emerging ''New World
Order'' has been characterized by the collapse of

attacks - is not an Islamic phenomenon by
definition, it cannot be ignored that the lion's
share of terrorist acts and the most devastating
of them in recent years have been perpetrated in
the name of Islam. This fact has sparked a
fundamental debate both in the West and within the
Muslim world regarding the link between these acts
and the teachings of Islam. Most Western analysts

Islamic Feminist The defenders on Islamic
traditions say that they provide women with a much
higher level of care and protection than
non-Muslim societies do. However, a philosopher

Hijab has become a symbol of this conflict. This
word used to mean a curtain that divided men from

new emphasis began to develop within the religion
of Islam. This emphasis was a reaction against the
prevailing impersonal and formal nature of Islam.

popular mystical side of Islam known as tasawwuf
