Abstract
The Qur’an itself is egalitarian. However, it is the West that has generally misunderstood Islam due to their lack of knowledge, ignorance, and misperception between actual Islam and the Arab culture. The main objective of this paper is to analyze how the roles of women in society are construed in the Western and Islamic discourses of feminism and to highlight how the two discourses can be reconciled. The paper focuses particularly on the discourses of multiculturalism, Western feminism, the turban movement, and the inquiry for Islamic feminism. The methodology used in this paper is non-textually-oriented discourse analysis. Having reviewed the argumentative discourses on those themes from a number of voices: philosophers, critical theorists, and feminists from both the Western and Islamic perspectives, the paper concludes with general remarks that feminism and Islam can be reconciled as long as these issues are treated according to the positive Islamic ethics, mutual respect, and fair practices of freedom. Moderate Islamic feminism will prevail, but without clear distinctions between secular and Islamist approaches, it may remain a neoliberal curriculum in universities for another century.
