Islamic rights and women rights clash in Dhaka in Bangladesh. People of the Islamic Constitution Movement threw stones at the police over a new draft advocating for equal inheritance rights for women and men. It just goes to show how women’s rights are still considered secondary to that of men in Bangladesh. It is incidents like these that gives Islam a negative image. The protestors said the law was against the Koran.
I think that religion plays a major role in today’s conflict, and holy books are used as a go-to for everything. Unfortunately, they are being interpreted negatively, thus playing with people’s and especially children’s minds.
