Sudanese woman in court for wearing trousers


This story has made me so angry...

Lubna Hussein is a journalist who worked at the UN and was rounded up in a cafe along with 12 other women for wearing trousers. Some of these women were flogged but Lubna chose to go to trial to challenge these charges.


I wonder what kind of Islam these people are trying to follow? What about other Muslim countries such as Indonesia, Pakistan etc where women wear loose trousers with long tops..is this also unIslamic? It seems as though regimes such as in Sudan and the Taliban in Afghanistan hold the utmost contempt for women.


Muslim women in the UK don't have to worry about being flogged for wearing trousers or whatever else we choose to wear. I believe that Islam teaches women to be modest, but it also teaches men to be modest..which is something men tend to forget. It also teaches us to be humane and just.
Where is the justice here?
