Sister Rasha then shares her
thoughts on this topic with the underlying theme of not taking
a defensive stance despite our condition but rather to become
active in society and do something to at least contribute to
change. She makes many thought-provoking recommendations and
emphasizes that Muslims need to penitrate the various areas of

many areas she covers: parental difficiency in educating the
children, Islamic "sex" education, family values, foreign policy, and working
with intellectuals in society.
