The more agency one has, they have the capability to either change the system or work their way around it.<br /><br />I read an article in Al Jazeera, where the author (unfortunately I can't remember) argue that a state that does not embrace pluralism - one way or the Inaya Rakhmanihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03970983737636872692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28531491.post-30195079183498822662011-12-27T11:04:17.780+07:002011-12-27T11:04:17.780+07:00Hello Inaya,

I personally do not agree with public humiliation, but I think that each person has the right to perform their beliefs, collectively (Banda Aceh) or personally. <br /><br />What made me think twice was the fact that the people I met explained, very rationally, how they support Sharia.

Events that made the news were ones that contained news value, in that it was sensational. I tried to let go of my own preconceptions and try to understand the cultural workings. <br /><br />Secondly, I have to Inaya Rakhmanihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03970983737636872692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28531491.post-62174146982548781412011-08-24T16:02:13.233+07:002011-08-24T16:02:13.233+07:00Fully acknowledging that there are many remarkable...Fully acknowledging that there are many remarkable Acehnese women and men who are devout Moslems, I wonder whether your adoration for Aceh's sharia has taken into account the number of women's rights violations that have occurred under the name of Islam.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
