Abstract

This chapter considers issues of concern to Muslim women. Most important among these is the wearing of Islamic dress in a Western context. This issue was brought up repeatedly by respondents in both countries whether or not they adhered to Islamic dress codes. Hence both country contexts are included in our examination. Also raised frequently by the women and considered here are the War on Terror and the policing of Muslim women by Muslim men. The War on Terror greatly concerned respondents in Britain while the control of Muslim women by Muslim men was of immense concern to respondents in France. This chapter presents Muslim women’s views and also considers their assessment of the impact these issues have on them. It gives voice to Muslim women as a counterpoint to the opinions of those who enjoy influential public platforms, who profess knowledge of Muslim women’s experiences and thinking.
