I thought they are not building women only cities, rather they are building women only sections and industrial units?

Salam Alaykum,

This is all realted to the hold of the modern economic theories and paradigms on the world. We as Muslims should first understand that the current economic system is extremely anti-Islamic (and then take measures to overcome it), and that any attempt to accomodate this situation is doomed to fail. It is just like the saga of "Muslim women in the Olympics", where the entire concept of the Olympics has to be rejected rather than to make accomodation towards seeing how Muslims (men or women) will participate in it.

Coming back to the topic at hand, consider the following article (http://gulfnews.com/opinions/columni...erty-1.1061946), which includes the following weird statement:

Clerics will say that Islam does not allow women and men to mix at work, while the rulers explain that segregation is part of Saudi culture. Yet Islamic feminists have pointed out time and time again, that the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) himself was married to a businesswoman — with no need to hide in an all-women city. A culture that does not just segregate women, but enshrines in law that they are second-class citizens is hardly one worth preserving.

Putting aside the technicalities of women working alongside men and the fact that the porgressive nature of revelation is being ignored, note the use of the term "Islamic feminists"- it seems like a total oxymoron, such as "Muslim Christians" or some other such type of nonsense. Also worth noting is the phrase that Islamic culture is "hardly one worth preserving"- which would legitimize in the minds of tehreaders that Islam must be destroyed one way or the other.

Let us leave the clatter about whether "enshrining in law that women are second-class citizens" is equal to "Islamic culture", since we as Muslims proudly follow Islam, and Allah out of His Wisdom has given some duties, rights, responsibilities, and favor to one gender over the other in a number of matters - even if our enemies classify it as "treating women like children" or the like. Of course this is something that the unisex and metrosexual world order will never come to grips with, but that is another discussion in its own right.
