Ms. Majid is what is known as Islamic feminist. Begum Rokeya was
an early Islamic feminist. The doctrine of islamic feminism says
that Islam has been hijacked by men, so time has come to reclaim
Islam from the clutches of men and that women should have the rights
to issue Islamic edicts on women. And as long as the edicts are
issued/endorsed by women they are legit and can't be bad, even if that
is as despicable as wearing burqua. These Islamic feminists have found
a hypocritical middle ground to not to anger the Islamists by stating
their belief in Islam and prophet Muhammad but at the same time
rejecting all islamic injunctions traditions that are issued by males
as being phoney. To do so they use convoluted interpretation of verses
of Quran.
Secondly these Islamic feminists have found in Islamic customs like
Burqa/Hijab a means of stating their feminine identity as distinct
from men. Just as male chauvinists look for pure manly traits and
symbols to state/accentuate their manhood so does the female chauvinists,
of which islamic feminists are a subset. I said hypocritical because
the core doctrine of Quran and Sunnah (Prophet's life and deeds) are
glaring example of men's angle on life. To believe in Quran and Muhammad
and believe in "Islamic feminism" simultaneously is a contradiction in
terms.
