Kadra a muslim woman fighting the fight
| April 10th, 2007In an article in a norwegian magazine(Where2Go), Kadra, a young muslim woman stated that it was long over due that we needed to look at the interpretation of the koran on how muslim men look at the modern muslim woman.
Kadra got known 7 years ago when she went “undercover” wearing a mic trying to get the true feelings of the muslim community in Oslo on circumcision. She got many of the “elders” on tape stating them being pros circumcision, she had to go underground for many years after massive threats. This was all shown in the documentary “Rikets Tilstand” (State of the Kingdom) back in 2000.
Muslim men look on women dont come as a suprise, but I must admit I choked on the coffee I was sipping when I read some of the comments one of norways biggest newspapers(vg.no) got from the article.
Press spokesman Gulam Sarwar in Central Jamaat-e Ahl-E Sunnat in Oslo said;
“Kadra has no saying in anything we do”
he went on saying;
“We cant change the Koran or Islam due to her, we oppose her statements, she has no rights to violate our religion”
then came the statement that made a coffee fountain in my office;
“She can say whatever she wants, Im sure she is good looking and has a nice body, but we cant change the Koran due to what a woman says”
“The Koran is what comes from heaven, thats all there is to it”
Central Jamaat is one of the central congregations in the Islamic Council in Norway.
There is always the talk about respecting others opinions & beliefs, but asking me to respect someone who boils down a womans part in the world to a “barbie doll” position is just too much.
Kadra, you got my vote, for whatever its worth. I truly hope the muslim men will leave the bronze age & start getting with the times. I dont have high hopes that it will happen in my life time tho, they seem to like living with the blinkers on.
