Washington, Feb.26 : A Muslim scholar at Britain’s Oxford University has compiled a 40-volume dictionary of at least 8,000 women scholars of the Hadith and Quran.
The list dates reportedly back to 1,400 years, according to an article in the New York Times.
The article reports that recent findings by Mohammad Akram Nadwi, a 43-year-old Sunni scholar at the Oxford Centre for Islamic Studies, may help lower those barriers and challenge prevalent notions of women’s roles within Islamic society. Nadwi has rediscovered a long-lost tradition of Muslim women teaching the Quran, transmitting Hadith and even making Islamic law as jurists.

NEW YORK, NY, USA — Stop apologizing for Al Qaeda. You didn’t create them, the Central Intelligence Agency did. Stop apologizing for every act of violence perpetrated by Muslims – unless you demand that every Christian and Jew apologize for the murderous acts of their co-religionists, too. Enough already. Stand tall, walk proud, and love yourselves because Islam is a great religion and Islamic history is a very rich and impressive one.
Since September 11, 2001, Muslims around the world have had unrelenting pressure brought to bear on them to apologize, or explain, or condemn every act of violence committed by those who call themselves Muslims. And that is exactly what Islamic leaders have been so pathetically doing – incessantly and fruitlessly trying to explain to an already-indoctrinated audience that not all Muslims are evil or violent.
