There are a group of women who are in the news who are protesting against the oppression of women in Arab states. For reasons I dont quite understand, they think that exposing their breasts, and painting angry slogans on their bodies, will somehow effect real change in society, and in peoples behavior. The authentic Shariah guarantees women rights (e.g. the right to live without oppression, to own and operate businesses, inherit property, initiate divorce, self defense, military service, teach (and found schools and universities), etc. The only exception is education. The real Shariah does not guarantee women the right to seek education: it mandates it. Under Shariah, women are REQUIRED to seek education. To oppose these rights is to violate some of Islams most sacred articles of Faith; and to do so and call the action Islamic is perilously close to blasphemy. In the realm of government, the concept of an Islamic state is a contradiction in terms, and there is no nation on earth governed by the authentic Shariah. At this point in history, Arabs have largely lost Islam. What many of them practice bears no resemblance to Islam. The Wahabbi / Salafiyyah cults that dominate Saudi Arabia, for example, are a disgrace on more levels than can be listed here. It may interest you to know that the word Islamist was invented by journalists and politicians; and has absolutely no meaning in English or any other language. No such creature as an Islamist exists in corporeal reality. Its just more Orwellian bullshit designed to divert attention from reality. BTW, you want to see oppression of women? Look at any magazine stand.
