When was the last time you heard a Muslim woman speak for herself
without a filter? It's Not About the Burqa started life when Mariam
Khan read about the conversation in which David Cameron linked the
radicalization of Muslim men to the `traditional submissiveness' of
Muslim women. Mariam felt pretty sure she didn't know a single
Muslim woman who would describe herself that way. Why was she
hearing about Muslim women from people who were demonstrably
neither Muslim nor female? Taking one of the most politicized and
misused words associated with Muslim women and Islamophobia, It's
Not About the Burqa has something to say: twenty Muslim women
speaking up for themselves. Here are essays about the hijab and
wavering faith, about love and divorce, about queer identity, about
sex, about the twin threats of a disapproving community and a
racist country, and about how Islam and feminism go hand in hand.
Funny, warm, sometimes sad, and often angry, each of these essays
is a passionate declaration, and each essay is calling time on the
oppression, the lazy stereotyping, the misogyny and the
Islamophobia. It's Not About the Burqa doesn't claim to speak for a
faith or a group of people, because it's time the world realized
that Muslim women are not a monolith. It's time the world listened
to them.
