mj.scuba Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 http://www.gazettelive.co.uk/news/uk-and-world-news/2010/06/09/women-friendly-mosques-praised-84229-26616364/ its not perfect (seperate room etc) but its a step in the right direction "Batool Al-Toma, of the National Muslim Women's Advisory Group, said: "This project must be hailed as a welcome and useful exercise for the whole of the Muslim community in the UK" Right direction for what? Are you a Muslim? If not what qualifies you to say what is right and wrong, how things should be done within Mosques? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suffragette1 Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 The toilets are but in separate blocks with no access for the other sex whilst it is being used by one. I have never seen mixed washing or convenience facilities here nor abroad. I have, both here and abroad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

melthebell Posted June 9, 2010 Author Share Posted June 9, 2010 what qualifies any of us to say what is right and wrong? We voice opinions and instigate discussions. indeed, its called voicing opinion and on this matter my opinion is its a step in the right direction. i've NEVER shyed away from saying yes on these threads i'm pro muslim........or should i say anti islamophobic but i've always said there is problems with islam and the way it treats certain people but these issues need addressing rather than oppressing muslims as a whole because of it. and MJ for your information, not that i really need to.........i'm athiest, i dont believe in god.......or that we need religion for that matter as the old saying goes "there is no god in heaven so get off your knees" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
123456A Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 So is segregation and inequality between the sexes a good thing? that is for you to voice your own opinion on - no matter what you say, someone will always disagree with your or offer another suggestion. Segregation may be good in some circumstances. For one I would not choose to be with a room full of men with their bums in the air. Inequality is a no brainer. We are all equal, but do not always have the same opportunities in freedom, politics or wealth. Over to you... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

melthebell Posted June 9, 2010 Author Share Posted June 9, 2010 So is segregation and inequality between the sexes a good thing? should we have mixed public toilets then? we still have a few boy / girl only schools (should boarding school dorms be mixed?) the vast majority of play groups are still mostly women is it really that bad that muslims in these mosques dont mix? what would the outcome be if they did? to me it doesnt make a jot of difference tbh, but as i said its a step in the right direction. isnt it better to be positive about them going in the right direction instead of condemming them for not going further??
