    Unreading Patriarchal Interpretations of the Qur'an

    Does Islam call for the oppression of women?

In this paradigm-shifting book, Asma Barlas argues that, far from supporting male privilege, the Qur'an actually affirms the complete equality of the sexes. Offering a ... Read more

    by Nevzat Soguk ...

    Tensions between the West and the Islamic world have reached an all-time high, fueled by caricatures and misunderstandings on both sides.
