A Quiet Revolution Grows in the Muslim World(Time)

According to the "A Quiet Revolution Grows in the Muslim World(Time)", Three decades after Iran’s upheaval established Islamic clerical rule for the first time in 14 centries, a quieter and more profound revolution is transforming the Muslim world. Dalia Ziada is a part of it.



My Reaction:
Many countries in the Middle East think highly of the Koran and Muslims follow the Koran piously. The Koran regulates what Muslims should do and it also represent their law. Turkey is the first Islamic countries that developed into a modernization country. Turks attributes the achievement to their great father- Mustafa Kemal Ataturk. He changed many traditional rules and policies in Turkey so that Turkey was an advanced countries compared to others at that time. Then, Turkey was push out from the Islamic world because most countries in the Middle East thought Turkey a betrayer. Nowadays, Muslims want changes. They don’t want their countries and their rulers to be too conservative as before. They are eager to reform in order to progress further more. However, if they determine to transform, they must give up some traditions and customs which are obstacles to develop to strong nations. Although traditions are their treasure, some sacrifices are still needed.


In the past, women rights are ignored because their statuses are not as high as men do. Now some people of noble aspirations stand up in public and are willing to strive for women rights, including the right to work and the substantive right. Nevertheless, these countries may confront unprecedented problems and it really takes time to solve them. Therefore, these movements are praised for they make big differences for the countries but some measures must be undertook to prevent the happening of riots. (274 words)
