A couple of weeks ago, the Muslim Community Radio invited me for a debate with Councillor Rania Khan (Cabinet Member for Culture) on the question, Do Women Need Power?
It was an exciting discussion, with Cllr Rania Khan arguing that the “patriarchy” continues to marginalise women in the UK today, and I demonstrated that injustice against men or women could not be solved simply by increasing the number of women in power. We also debated whether the Muslim world would benefit from this secular movement of feminism that is still unsatisfied with its “achievements” in the West, or simply from the comprehensive implementation of their own religion, Islam.
