Perfect Justice: Debunking the Male Bias Myth
In this highly recommended lecture, Sh. Yasir Qadhi* criticizes stereotypical responses to questions often asked about the role of women in Islam and similar secondary and tertiary aspects of Islam. He explains why he thinks that trying to impress non-Muslims with Islam could not, in most cases, lead to them accepting Islam. He lists the reasons why he thinks such responses are defeatist and fruitless. His methodology is to responsd to such attacks on Islam by expalining the real reasons why Muslims beleive things should be the way they are in Islam.
