Jarron McAllister writes "Muslim women across the world are often stereotyped as victims and are frequently targets of mainstream feminist and human rights campaigns. Yet these campaigns selectively ignore a history of strong Muslim feminists; therefore, ridding Muslim women of agency and privileging a created narrative of passivity and inaction."

McAllister concludes "Muslim feminists do not need anyone’s assistance, just a bigger stage."

Cornelis Hulsman: nice article. It provides critique to much western reporting that is to the point.
