Feminist in the Muslim

Anyone who tries to understand the position of women in the Muslim world must be feeling confused. We find stories in the media about the injustice committed against Muslim women all the time, such as murder to "honor", early marriage and legal decisions that discriminate in matters of divorce, child custody and inheritance.
But we also get the stories of extraordinary measures undertaken by Muslim women in education, career advancement and political activities in various countries such as Bangladesh, Morocco and Turkey.
How can we make sense of such a dichotomous picture of this?
The answer is simple: With distinguish Islam from people who follow it.
Those who learn the Qur'an know that Islam raised women's rights beyond the traditional pre-Islamic world at that time. In fact, in the seventh century Muslim women have been given the rights that are not given to the women of Europe until the 19th century, such as property ownership, inheritance and divorce.
