No joke, Katie. This topic has been covered numerous times in AB, but always with reference to the Daily Mail. I was really interested when I was sent this as it provided a different viewpoint, which many people here might not have encountered - hence I thought I would share it.

For what it's worth, I was sent this link by a friend who's an Anglican priest in Sheffield, who is heavily involved in interfaith work with a local imam. Now I'm neither Christian nor Muslim, so any religious aspect isn't really of that much relevance to me, but I do find it interesting to see an alternative viewpoint.

Thanks to everyone who has commented - what a diverse lot ABers are! And long may it be so. Wouldn't it be dull if we all thought the same?
No it isn't katie, it's a serious issue and I, for one, am glad kiki posted this.

Anything to add that responds to the issues the article actually raises beyond it's written by somebody self-declared from a muslim family so it must be an apology?

The author seems rather confused to me. I'll read the article again tomorrow.

I have to agree that the 'tradition' of treating women as 2nd class citizens in Islamic countries is very much to blame.
