He highlights how maiming has been a feature of colonial violence evidenced today in the systematic amputation of Palestinian children.

Feminism(s), Secularism, and Religions: Encounter Interview with Jadaliyya Co-Editor Maya Mikdashi and Other Scholars/Activsts

The following episode of Encounter (hosted by David Rutlege) features interviews with Jadaliyya Co-Editor Maya Mikdashi, as well as Leila Ahmed, Ellen Armour, Jean Bethke Elshtain, Lisa Isherwood, and Ratna Osman--all of whom are feminist professors and/or activists. In "Beyond the Boundaries," they critically discuss the relationships between feminism(s) and Islam and feminism(s) and Christianity, in addition to discussing events such as the Egyptian and US presidential elections, their potential impact on women`s rights in those countries, and the continuing sexual assaults at and around Tahrir Square. The impetus behind this program is to critically discuss the discourse on women`s rights in the Islamic and Arab worlds and the ways that secularism and religion are often distinguished through discourses on gender. The show was originally broadcast on Austalia`s ABC Radio on 2 February 2013.
