Hello,
ReplyDeleteBeing a Muslim myself i know Islam talks about women being highly respected in the religion. Many people have the stereotypes that they are oppressed but it is not true. I am so glad this event is happening so that people can be educated what the religion truthfully says about women.
Proud to see this happening.
ReplyDeleteThis is a step in the right direction. After learning what we did in the most recent chapters, it was about time.
ReplyDeletethis is a very interesting topic because many woman choose to wear head covering and such and are not actually forced like some people believe. although it may be a different culture than ours not all aspects are oppressive.
ReplyDeleteThis is not a topic I am personally very knowledgeable of, and it is great to see that FIU as such a diverse university is working to get more of its students to welcome other cultures than their own.
ReplyDeleteAwesome to see FIU has these sort of events! something i am interested in and unfortunately missed. Studies of women and religion is very interesting.

ReplyDeleteIt makes me happy to see that FIU is trying to show students different cultures and make them more open to accept them even if it's not their own.
ReplyDeleteProud to see FIU hosting these events.
ReplyDeleteAs a female in a nonrestrictive culture this is a really interesting topic to me. I love that my school celebrates diversity!
ReplyDeleteVery glad FIU is housing events like this to educate the student body about different cultures and religions and make us more accepting and open minded.
