WOMEN IN ISLAM

I am indebted to a fine piece of blogging by Sister Toldjah.   Here is excellent commentary on Islamic convert Yvonne Ridley (who praises the veil) and Asra Q. Nomani, a Muslim woman (not a recent Western convert) who writes candidly about the travail of women in Islam.   Both women published articles in the Washington Post the same day.    The Anchoress weighs in with fine commentary as well.  Both these blog posts are well worth reading.  Additional links on each site offer well-rounded complete commentary.
