Blessed Posted October 19, 2008 Interesting article from a supporter of the Imaam-et with flowers in her hair. What thinks you? Instead of tempering the verses of the Qur'an with good judgment, some men use them as a vehicle for controlling women. The fact that Islam allows room for this type of behaviour is a problem, yes, but rampant sexism is more a product of patriarchal ideology than religion itself. Men can practice Islam and treat women as equals – the two are not mutually exclusive. edit: Sorry.. Click on Nuune's link. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nuune Posted October 19, 2008 Interesting article indeed, lol the long comments on that article. The article , Blessed, that link is broken I think. Compare that to other great Aaminas such as our Aamina Assilimi and the rest. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ilax Posted October 19, 2008 I strongly dis-agree it and I don't see logic works in this. Its Allah given rule of law then abide on it, no more debate on that. Nuune, How do you see it? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jacaylbaro Posted October 19, 2008 It is hard to determine who is right and who is wrong these days considering the beautifully written millions of articles if you don't have strong basics of the Islamic teachings. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sir-Qalbi-Adeyg Posted October 19, 2008 Modernize too often seems like code for westernize, I think that word has lost its meaning. A woman leading mixed gender prayer is the kind of 'modernizing' we need to stay away from. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ishaad ka riday. Someone who lacks strong religious foundation will fall for this flowery language. May Allah protect us. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
