Historically, the interpretation of Islam has been largely a male endeavor. Women have generally been marginalized from the male centers of Islamic interpretation, including both scripture and law, and leadership roles in public worship. But this has changed in recent times.Contrary to popular belief, Islam has a tradition of protecting the rights of women. In fact, Islam has specific provisions, which define the rights of women in areas such as marriage, divorce, and property rights. It is important to consider that the rights of women in Islam have evolved over time and vary depending on their geographical location.<\/span> Click for more information<\/a><\/p>\n

The November 1999 public execution of Zarmeena, an Afghan woman convicted of murdering her husband in cold blood with an ax while he was asleep. The execution was carried out by the Taliban inside the Ghazi stadium in Kabul, Afghanistan. It has been filmed with a hidden camera by members of the Revolutionary Association of the Women of Afghanistan (RAWA) and was aired by almost all major TV channels around the world.<\/p><\/div>\n
