These protests are often driven by a desire for greater human rights and a more open society, even if it means going against the current Islamic government.

Is the headscarf/hijab in Islam a sign of freedom and feminism?
The headscarf/hijab in Islam is a complex and multifaceted symbol that can be interpreted in different ways by different individuals. For some Muslim women, wearing the hijab is a personal choice and a symbol of their faith, modesty, and devotion to God. They may see it as a form of empowerment and a way to assert their identity and religious beliefs in a society that often marginalizes or stereotypes them. However, it's important to recognize that the meaning and significance of the hijab can vary greatly depending on cultural, social, and individual contexts. While some women may feel empowered and liberated by wearing the hijab, others may feel pressured or oppressed by societal or familial expectations. Therefore, it's essential to approach this topic with sensitivity and respect for the diverse experiences and perspectives of Muslim women.

Freedom of Expression in Islam : Challenging Apostasy and Blasphemy Laws
In Muslim countries, apostasy and blasphemy laws are defended on the grounds that they are based on Islamic Shari’a and intended to protect religion.But blasphemy and apostasy laws can be used both to suppress thought and debate and to harass religious minorities, both inside and outside Islam.This book – comprising contributions from Muslim scholars, experts and activists - critically and constructively engages with the theological, historical and legal reasoning behind the most restrictive state laws around the world to open up new ways of thinking.The book focuses on the struggle within Muslim societies in Iran, Egypt, Pakistan and Indonesia where blasphemy and apostasy laws serve powerful groups to silence dissent and stifle critical thought. The first part of the book covers the development of the law in shifting historical circumstances and surveys the interpretations of Qur'anic verses that seem to affirm freedom of religion.The second part examines the present politics and practices of prosecuting alleged blasphemers and/or apostates in Muslim countries.The third part looks to the future and where reforms of the law could be possible. Debates on Islam and freedom of expression are often cast in polarizing terms of rights versus religion, East versus West.This volume avoids such approaches by bringing together a diverse group of Muslim scholars and activists with the knowledge, commitment and courage to contest repressive interpretations of religion and provide a resource for reclaiming the human rights to freedom of expression and belief.

Freedom of Speech in Universities : Islam, Charities and Counter-terrorism
Freedom of speech and extremism in university campuses are major sources of debate and moral panic in the United Kingdom today.In 2018, the Joint Committee on Human Rights in Parliament undertook an inquiry into freedom of speech on campus.It found that much of the public concern is exaggerated, but identified a number of factors that require attention, including the impact of government counter-terrorism measures (the Prevent Duty) and regulatory bodies (including the Charity Commission for England and Wales) on freedom of speech. This book combines empirical research and philosophical analysis to explore these issues, with a particular focus on the impact upon Muslim students and staff.It offers a new conceptual paradigm for thinking about freedom of speech, based on deliberative democracy, and practical suggestions for universities in handling it. Topics covered include:The enduring legacy of key thinkers who have shaped the debate about freedom of speechThe role of right-wing populism in driving moral panic about universitiesThe impact of the Prevent Duty and the Charity Commission upon Muslim students, students’ unions and university managersStudents’ and staff views about freedom of speechAlternative approaches to handling freedom of speech on campus, including the Community of InquiryThis highly engaging and topical text will be of interest to those working within public policy, religion and education or religion and politics and Islamic Studies.

Is Islam cruel?
Islam, like any religion, is a complex and diverse belief system that cannot be characterized as inherently cruel. The actions of individuals or groups who claim to be acting in the name of Islam may be cruel, but this does not reflect the teachings of the religion itself.

It is important to approach the study of Islam with an open mind and to recognize the diversity of beliefs and practices within the global Muslim community.
