The distorted image of Muslim women
Since the height of the feminist movement in the late 70's there has been a magnifying glass placed over the status of Muslim women.

In Islam, women have been given a high status which no past nation ever achieved and which no subsequent nation has been able to attain, because the honor that Islam gives to humanity, includes men and women equally.
