The meaning of the hashtag #muslimaparadox is explained in an ebook by Sultan Califi. It seems to be a term for a lack of discussion among muslimas, e.g. about the fact that there is no sura in the Qu´ran demanding the covering of the head, and on the other hand, about what picture of the Muslim man is conveyed to secular societies if women must wear a headscarf or hijab. It might also relate to the book "Das Religionsparadox" (E: The Paradox of Religion) by Victoria Rationi.

The Paradox of Religions and the Cycle of Religions
The "Paradox of Religions" and the "Cycle of Religions" are two terms suggested by German Psychologist Victoria Rationi in her new book "Das Religionsparadox" (=The Paradox of Religions):
Once again (like in "Religiophobia") she argues that a high religiosity does obviously (looking at the Global Peace Index) not lead to more peaceful societies than secular societies.
She then explains her theory of the "Cycle of Religions", which presumes that religiosity prevails in societies with absent or distant fathers (and some other factors) whereas religiosity declines in societies where "caring masculinities" are on the rise.
