Although gradually accelerate the ecnomics and improvement of
nation, the enormous inequality between men and women of Islam is still an
inevitable problem not only domestic but also a universally concerned issue. After World War Ⅱ, objection exercises of invasions of human rights are more
and more widely and passionately spreading around the world. Women right
activities are certainly not exception. Thus, it
is always pretty incomprehensible and astonishing for us when we
realize how tough and miserable dilemmas are the Islamic women suffering. Lots
of bans to women are familiar to us, from demanding strictly on women’s
clothing or autonomy of bodies, not allowing them do lots of affairs such as
driving, voting or photographing. Among all the women policies, perhaps the
most controversial one comes to the penalty to women when being considered “guilty’
by the patriarchy government. For example, in 2010, an Afghanistan woman was cut
down her nose because of her escaping away from her violent husband. Also, in
2006, an Iranian woman was killed by rocks throwing as a penalty for her crime
of “improper relationship with man’.
Instances of such circumstances never stop showing on the front
page of international’s news, neither do the criticism from all over the world.
It seems that the Islam official attitudes toward women build an obstacle
itself that make foreigner flinch when tourism, which means appealing foreigners
is one of their main industries. However, while women’s right is universally
acknowledged, the Islam governments also have excuses and insistence to defend
the pressure from outside. In their declaration, not only do they devote to
maintain the purity and chastity of Muslin which asked by the Koran, but also are
they struggle to withstand the western culture and practices, headed by America,
strongly and aggressively. Such manifesto can be traced back to 1980’s, when
the leader of Shah Islam, Khomeini, rebelled
the contemporary government and establish his own authority.
In his concept, or say, the main position of Shah, is that in the land of
Islam, there should be no values of foreign, especially the western, that
influence the pure religious belief of Muslin. The
Koran must be the supreme law of any other rules. It is these concepts that
change and influence the notion and situation of Islam women. As a result, we
may say that the women’s suffering of misery is namely because a political
transformer, or an ambition of an opposite politician.
Women right in Islam can be seen as a corrupt practice of old time in a relatively improved world, on the other hand, it is also necessary for us to think of whether we should interfere or judge the tradition of other culture. Although feminism is spreading and developing more and more mature and flourishing, whether the Islam government should keep guarding the traditional values or catch up the path of western countries is a vital issue for the improvement-pursuing Islam countries.
