Is the concept of Islamic Feminism an oxymoron?
How can Muslim women support a religion that seems to leave no room for female leadership? Appearances are apparently deceiving, as Muslim women are emerging more and more--perhaps in response to the Arab Spring--as political and religious leaders, while remaining faithful to their religion. It brings to mind the Palin-style of feminism that seemed at odds with feminism's liberal underpinnings and yet which seemed at the same time to embody it's fundamental objectives.
So maybe a conundrum instead of an oxymoron.
