Seriously, it's like the guy in Mall Rats, trying to see the 3-d sail boat.

You'll give yourself eyestrain trying to find a woman in those rows.

Forbidding women to lead the salat.
Forbidding women who are menstruating to attend at all.
Requiring women to kneel BEHIND the men.

Etc.


If it wasn't for the religion aspect, you couldn't get away with posting this shit here on DU in any sort of positive light.

Even the mere idea that one group of believers be allowed to pray to their god in the same place as a different group pray to theirs is enough to provoke murderous rage in some.


Sometimes people who start OPs to kindle a flamewar end up getting burned.
