Feminist Islamic Troublemakers of North America with Shehnaz Haqqani and Zahra Khan

Founders of FITNA: Zahra Khan, Shehnaz Haqqani (middle), and Saadia Yacoob

In this episode of the Religious Feminism interview series, Shehnaz Haqqani, Assistant Professor of Religion at Mercer University, and Zahra Khan, an activist and engineer, talk to us about the online feminist community they founded for Islamic feminists. We discuss how the inclusive theology of Islam differs from patriarchal cultural practices and about feminist initiatives within their Islamic community such as their efforts to combat all male panels.

When Will God Expect More From Men?

More than anything, women need for God (and men) to expect more of men. We need men to not be threatened by female leaders sitting on the stand. We need men who don't just say they wouldn't mind if women held the priesthood, but actively risk their status and standing by praying and speaking up about it. We need men who disrupt sexist jokes, actively engage women as leaders to both men and women, and call out outdated nonsense - even from revered men.
