This page is dedicated to
the true martyrs of Islam: those sisters who have suffered in silence for
the last fourteen centuries, and especially those who are still suffering
today.
-
The sisters in Afghanistan, who are denied access to basic healthcare and
education by the Taliban, and those female doctors who, risking their own
lives, continue to defy the system.
-
The little girls in Somalia, who are mutilated by their mothers, for fear
of not getting a husband.
-
The child brides of the North Africa and the Arabian Peninsula.
-
The princesses of al Saud, who live in golden cages, but are still denied
basic human rights.
-
Nawal elSadawi, the Egyptian novelist. I borrowed the name of the heroine
of her novel "The Fall of the Imam." BintAllah (God's Daughter) is
the spirit of millions of women, who grew up on the wrong side of the Prophet's
Sunnah.
