South Bay Ahmadi Muslim Women Have Power to Change the World |
|
|
|
|
Like others who have grown up exclusively in the West, my assumption was that Muslim women are oppressed with little power. But I recently discovered that the ladies of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Mosque, Bait-Ul-Baseer, in Milpitas, believe that women have the power to change the world.
The women from the mosque, known as the Ladies Auxiliary of the Silicon Valley chapter of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, translate that belief into action, donating hundreds of hours of volunteer time to local charities. They have also reached out to women of other faiths through an informal group known as Women’s Interfaith Dialogue Encounter, hoping to spread a better understanding of the Muslim faith.

Worst human rights offenders condemn West |

In what can only be described as Orwellian double-speak, the Organization of the Islamic Conference told the United Nations Human Rights Council -- made up of many of the world's worst human rights violators -- that Muslims in western democracies face unbearable racism and discrimination, and demanded that the UN do something about it.
"People of Arab origin face new forms of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related forms of intolerance and experience discrimination and marginalization," an Egyptian delegate said on Wednesday.

Abuses in Pakistan deserve condemnation |
|
|
|
I want to draw attention toward deteriorating human rights and religious tolerance in Pakistan. Whereas the atrocities are committed by a few, it is perhaps the silence of the Sunni majority that enables them to do so. This silence gives the perpetrators tacit approval for their horrific deeds and prevents the authorities from taking decisive action. Politicians pay only lip service because they feel that their voters do not want them to take any effective actions.

What's on Pakistan TV talk shows? Extremists. |

When Taliban militants stormed two minority-sect mosques in Lahore last month, Pakistani television crews swung into action, breaking police lines to document a dramatic siege that left 95 people dead. What they left out of the coverage highlights the Pakistani media's increasingly belligerent bent.
Reporters refrained from honoring these victims, part of the frequently persecuted Ahmadi sect of Islam, with the title shaheed, or martyr, as they had done for thousands of others killed in militant violence in recent years. Nor did they refer to the places of worship as mosques. TV news programs downplayed the sectarian nature of the attack. Some instead accused India of trying to undermine Pakistan on the anniversary of successful nuclear tests, or America for fomenting instability to expand its presence in the country.

Pakistan's Medieval Constitution |

In the early hours of May 28, Khalid Solangi was shaken awake by his wife. She told him that she'd heard news of a bloody attack on two Ahmadi mosques in Pakistan. Khalid's older brother, an Ahmadi Muslim American, had recently flown to Lahore for a wedding and they feared he was one of the victims. "My wife said to me, 'Your brother has never missed the Friday prayer.'"
