The point of view of Muslim fe-
males is virtually absent from
the current debate on the rela-
tion between the West and the
Muslim world. Sumaya (blog-
ger, first Muslim city councilor
in Milan), Takoua (cartoonist
from Rome) and Batul (psychia-
trist from Trento) are 3 eman-
cipated, ambitious and opinio-
nated Muslim women living
in Italy. Through sequences of
their everyday life and inter-
views, they provide an unusual
portray of young Muslim fema-
les in today’s Europe and cover
most of the issues inflaming the
debate.
