In my weak "oh please don't read this as me agreeing with the woman's horrible arguments" defense of Elizabeth Moon (and honestly, I didn't start to consider defending her until EVERYONE was against her), I did say that feminism and Islam represent many philosophical viewpoints but two general ones that don't necessarily agree with each other.

So she's not COMPLETELY off base by noting that Islam presents a challenge to Feminism. By that same token Feminism presents a challenge to Islam.

Of course, I'm more interested in the Feminist challenges to Orthodox Judaism but I think my main problem with the anti-Moon discourse (beyond the fact that it was vitriolic) was that many seemed to be ignoring that there IS tension between feminism and traditional religions including Islam.
