Female-led U.S. service irks Muslims in Mideast |
I'll bet if Christians gave bomb threats the media would be having an
orgy over the matter. So, is treating women like chattel a good
thing? If not, is it 'racist' to point out that islam is a barbaric
death cult. This is our future. I only hope during the upcoming
civil war we deport not only the muslims but the skunks who supported
them. Don't worry though, I'll suggest you all receive proper burkas
before your departure. And beards for the men.

CAIRO, Egypt (AP) - Muslims in the Middle East yesterday angrily
denounced a mixed-gender Islamic prayer service led by a woman in New
York as a violation of their religion.
Amina Wadud, a professor of Islamic studies at Virginia Commonwealth
University, led the service on Friday before a congregation of 80 to
100 men and women at Synod House at the Cathedral of St. John the
Divine in Manhattan, an Episcopal church.
Three mosques had refused to hold the service, and an art gallery
backed out after receiving a bomb threat. Organizers said the service
was intended to draw attention to the inequality faced by Muslim
women.
The Egyptian newspaper, Al-Messa, reported the service on its front
page, with the emphatic headline: "They are tarnishing Islam in
America!"
It referred to Wadud as "the deranged woman."
A female Islamic law professor condemned the act as apostasy,
explaining that a woman’s body "stirs desire" in men. Some suggested
the event was a U.S. conspiracy to mold traditional Islam into a
secular U.S. religion.
Muslims are required to pray five times a day. On Friday, the Muslim
holy day, many try to perform their midday prayers at a mosque. A male
imam leads the prayer, followed by lines of men and, behind them,
women. Most mosques have different halls or different floors for the
women as well as separate entrances.
Sheik Sayed Tantawi, head of Egypt’s Al-Azhar mosque, the leading
Sunni Muslim institution, said Islam permits women to lead other women
in prayer but not a congregation that includes men.
Many of the women who attended the service in New York were modestly
dressed and, in accordance with Islamic tradition, covered their hair
with the hijab, or head scarf. Wadud primarily conducted the service
in English with verses of the Quran read in Arabic.
"Women were not allowed to have input in the basic paradigms of what
it means to be a Muslim," Wadud said after the service. She added that
while the Islamic holy book, the Quran, puts men and women on equal
footing, men have distorted its teachings to leave women with no role
other than "as sexual partners."
But in the conservative Middle East, Wadud’s prayer service was
frowned upon.
The prayer service and reactions of those who attended were covered by
the two major Arab satellite networks, Al-Jazeera and Al-Arabiya.
One Web site known for postings by Islamic militants carried photos of
women at the service who had failed to cover their heads.

[Snip article]
Are you under the impression that Christians don't engage
in violent behavior? That they're somehow morally superior
to Muslims? That Christians don't repress and abuse women?
If so, your view wouldn't properly be termed racist, but
they are a kind of bigotry that chooses to ignore or
dismiss the offenses of one group while magnifying those of
another.
Marvin
<snicker> Another ignoramus checks in.
Do those fuckin' Christians allow (think about that word)
their women to go outside alone? Do they allow their women
to say stuff like "hello" if they see someone they know? Are
their women allowed to drive cars? Do their religious
organizations allow them to use the internet? If one of them
gets raped, does she have to produce four eyewitnesses in
order to get the scumbag convicted? If she fails that, will
she be stoned to death? Does the Christians' teachings allow
for beating a woman who isn't an expert housekeeper? Do
their beliefs include stuff like "Even if she's busy with her
chores, a wife must 'answer her husband's needs'"? Hint:
yes, yes, yes, yes, NO, NO, NO, NO. What are the answers to
all those questions if you replace "Christian" with
"Mohammedan"? Hint: NO, NO, NO, NO, yes, yes, yes, yes.
Will a mohammedan woman who lives alone, makes her own
decisions and hold a job be a victim of "honor killing"
because that behavior brings some fucking kind of "shame" to
her family? Yes. Look it up.
By the way, you seem to be the sort who ought to consider
this: http://www.islam.tc/ask-imam/view.php?q=3056
More conscious people than you might get a kick out of this
horseshit: http://www.islam.tc/ask-imam/view.php?q=14167
In case you can't figure out how to see that, here's an
excerpt for you: "Women were created to remain in the house,
to look after its affairs and to bring up the children in her
affectionate lap."
ah, i see.
BWAAAAHAHAHAHA! As is customary among cretins, that was followed
by a contradiction.
because muslims do things that are much worse, its
ok for christians to treat people a little bit less unequal
than muslims do.
Because this is usenet, it's okay for slower life forms like you
to post moronic misconstructions.
1 timothy 2:11-15
A woman should learn in quietness and full submission. I do
not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man;
she must be silent. For Adam was formed first, then Eve. And
Adam was not the one deceived; it was the woman who was
deceived and became a sinner. But women will be saved through
childbearing-if they continue in faith, love and holiness with
propriety.
<snicker> The cretin thinks he challenged what I said. Some guy
named Timothy expressed those stupid opinions, while The Pervert
Mohammed commanded his slaves to stone to death any woman who
allows the wrong guy to get a glimpse of the shape of her *****.
Post some more, cretin.
