Title: Islam and Human Rights: Tradition and Politics by Ann Elizabeth Mayer ISBN: 0813335043 Publisher: Westview Press Pub. Date: September, 1998 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $26.00 |

Summary: Meticulously Documented Must Read
Comment: Ms. Mayer does the difficult scholarly work needed to shed light on the issue of the Muslim treatment of women. She goes directly to the original sources. It can be fairly said that Ms. Mayer's allows Islamic sources to speak for themselves. Everything is amply documented and footnoted to allow the reader to go to the specific document and confirm Ms. Mayer's statments.
Ms. Mayer reveals the differences between the English version and the Arabic translation of the "Islamic" human rights declaration. It is literally a two-faced document, the Arabic version containing limitations and derogations of women, while the English version appears to grant equality.
This is the book that Islamic apologists in the Western world need to read.
One can hope that someday in the future Islam will reform its treatment of women, but, unfortunately, according to many informed sources there is in effect an upsurge in fundamentalism in the Middle East and elsewhere which is taking Islam in the wrong direction.

Summary: All to know about Islam's violations of human rights
Comment: Excellent book, Mayer has carefully compared Islamic law with international human rights laws and concludes that these two are not compatible. This is due to fact that Islam is 'God's' commands and critisizing it is blasphemous...Mayer states that, 'Islamic human rights can offer no means for protecting the individual against laws and policies violating international human rights law'. Thus, Muslim -theocratic- States exist by asserting Islamic law at the deprivation of the freedoms of their citizens, female and male. Thus, violating their citizens' international human rights, with women suffering the most.
