Play 'Where's Waldo' for a woman in the first five rows and you might figure out the frustration.

One that has nothing to do with the Salat issue, which now spans multiple safe havens and groups

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.

(82,333 posts)5. That's a pretty lame rage.

(33,982 posts)6. Segregation doesn't seem lame to me.
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.

(33,982 posts)10. One that has nothing to do with the Salat issue, which now spans multiple safe havens and groups
with multiple highly contentious threads.

(82,333 posts)11. A Salat in a Cathedral fits the second panel quite snugly.
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.

(33,982 posts)12. Outrage over gender discrimination fits 'murderous rage' in your mind?
Fascinating equivalency you've made there.
rug
(82,333 posts)13. Those are Mo's words.
I can't say I've seen the reaction
I'm simply bemused by the dissonance.
