This is the conclusion of Dr. Riffat Hassan’s extraordinary feminist lecture on the story of Adam and Eve, a story that forms the basis for the oppression of women in Islam, Judaism and Christianity. Plus my interview with her about her radical re-interpretation of the significance of Eve’s acceptance of the apple. 
Dr. Riffat Hassan is a Muslim theologian from Pakistan who opposes the Islamic view of the inferiority of women. She says that since anti women legislation and custom are enacted in the name of theology, it is necessary to study the Koran and critique the source. In the original text, says Hassan, women are neither inferior nor sinful. Adam is not a man’s name – it is the word for human. In fact in the Koran the original being created by god is feminine, a fact that is concealed in all translations. 
Riffat Hassan says the original meaning was altered by later writings, the so-called Hadiths. These are quotes attributed to the prophet Mohammed and passed on by people who say they heard him tell the story. And it is here – and only here, in the Hadiths that the story of creation of woman from Adam’s rib is told six times. The Hadiths say that woman is secondary because she was made of Adam’s rib and sinful since she is responsible for the expulsion from paradise. Riffat Hassan was Professor of Religious Studies and Humanities at the University of Louisville, Kentucky. She received her PhD from Durham University, UK, in 1968 and has taught in many institutions, including Oklahoma State University and Harvard Divinity School. Riffat Hassan has since retired after 33 years of teaching in the US. She gave courses not only in theology but also in literary criticism, Shakespeare, Romantic Poets, international relations and foreign policy. However through all her academic accomplishments and to this day she was and is a human rights activist on behalf of women.

The Islamic Republic of Iran and Saudi Arabia have resumed diplomatic relations and committed themselves to a process that may bring some peace and stability to West Asia. Notably, the key role of mediator was played by China. The U.S. seems somewhat shocked; the same with Israel. And Western media has reacted with confusion. The multi-polar world continues on its way. Remember China offered a plan for peace to Russia and Ukraine. And what has NATO offered? Zafar also provides a clear account of the present crisis in Pakistan, where Imran Khan is waging a struggle for elections and the return of the country to a democratic path free of Western influence.

After ten years of appealing, Kenya's Supreme Court has ruled that organizations with words like lesbian and gay in the title are allowed to register as NGOs. However same-sex sexual relations have been illegal since the British occupation. This win has set off a frightening backlash against already marginalized sexual minorities. Activist and advocate Esther Nelima gives a detailed portrait of the hazards for sexual minorities. She says people have a right to express their feelings but not when it harms others' rights, and that holy books don't only talk about sex they talk about love.
