Sometimes a little moderation in your opinion can go a long way!

Everyone has different perspectives on how the problem should be solved. Some want a copy/paste of what the west is doing (this includes men and women) because there is a shallow understanding of life and societal harm the west had suffered and continues to suffer. Then there is the crowd that thinks by simply claiming Islam gives women rights we can make everything ok.
One of my teachers would say that when people begin to pick and choose what they want to follow as Muslims, the greatest harm is to the woman (since her rights will not be honored as we see these days).
I was on a business trip once in Canada and the hotel I was staying at had a large delegation of visible Muslim women (hijab) there. I was curious and approached them. They were a team from the government owned Petronas oil company and there were in Canada to open up an office and start projects (all women about 10). I chatted with them for a while and then left impressed at how this society had found a beautiful moderate path.
It is easy to take extreme sides but much better to find the moderate path.
