The way in which Islam is practiced varies from culture to culture, so ideally an understanding of gender in Islam has to be contextualized to specific cultures. This variation in gender practice across Islamic cultures was much more pronounced historically. However, in recent decades Muslims across the globe have had to come to terms with contemporary Islamic movements and new purist forms of Islam in the context of a volatile political climate and an oppositional stance between the Islamic East and the Christian and secular West. Many Muslims have felt under pressure to demonstrate their loyalty and return to the path of “authentic” Islam. The behavior of Muslim women has come to symbolize Islamic identity and the wearing of the veil has become a marker of Islamic tradition. While this new purist Islam is constraining, it also has the potential to be emancipatory for women and gender relations
