幾個重點
1. 生活在西方的穆斯林群體，不可避免受到西方社會大環境的影響。如近期反性侵害運動，在穆斯林社群內部也開始發酵。Tariq Ramadan與Nouman Ali Khan成為爭議性的人物。
2. 穆斯林女性即使包含有學問的女性，也難以在公眾領域發聲。但早期伊斯蘭的歷史，不少穆斯林女性與男性平起平坐。
3. 當前那些穆斯林知識份子與知名教長，他們也是一般人，不是不會犯錯。跟隨他們的信眾不經思考盲目跟隨，無助於穆斯林社群的發展。
This has been a
difficult year for Muslims. I’m referring not only to the external forces that
buffet us daily—anti-Muslim hate crimes, inflammatory tweets or President
Trump’s travel ban—but also to the internal ruptures
that have forced us to reexamine our own communities. As the #MeToo
movement reveals the names of alleged sexual predators in politics, media, and
business, and the #ChurchToo hashtag trends on Twitter, Muslims are also
grappling with fresh allegations against revered men. (西方穆斯林不可避免受到西方社會整體大環境影響)
Muslim women are
speaking up about Islamic scholars and clergymen who have allegedly preyed on
their piety, and their stories are forcing a reckoning about the fallibility of
these outsized personalities.
