Muslim women urged to combat terror

[Woodrow]

Fair enough..I learned something.





Fair enough....but the young children? The type that can be disruptive? I didn't see any toddlers with the men.

I wish I had a picture of the mosque I usually go to. During prayer times the little munchkins are usually with the men and not with the women. My grand daughter is usually with me. I often see toddlers like a year old with their fathers or grandfathers.

Yes..that was instructive..thanks. Is there not a portion of the "service" where the Iman speaks about issues of current import to the worshipers?

that is before the actual prayer time and a woman can be present at that time. At some of the mosques here in Austin the curtain separating the men and women is open during the "sermon" and closed just before the actual prayer time.

No our children are little wunderkind.. you can find a mosque with them all over the place.. during the time of the prophet SAW he used to let them climb on top of him while he is praying.. children known as the love of Allah (a7bab Allah) here is a little cutie reciting ..

the friday sermon should address the affairs of the community and boost moral yes.. I don't believe I have ever stayed through an entire one.. I know I am bad one of the perks of being a woman

I don't usually pray at mosques except in special occasions (Ramadan) or if I am caught outside and there is a mosque nearby where I can go in and pray, in which case I make my prayers and head for my car.. unless I am approached by a sister or something, it happens on occasion..


cheers

That is also instructive, thanks. What about some of the nutbars at "radical" mosques in Britain, for eg.? I have seen actual videos taken during the "sermons".

As you are a sensible person, I expect you to attend a mosque where common sense reigns.

I seen some of those type videos also. All I can say is I have never attended a Mosque where I have seen anything like that. In the USA I been to 6 Mosques in Austin, One in Dallas, Two in Houston and one in Tyler Texas. The one in Tyler I expected would have been very extremest as the majority there are from Palestine, But the Imam a staunch Palestinian always gave sermons that were anti terrorism and anti suicide attacks by his Brothers and sisters in Palestine. Here in Austin I am a little active with a Palestinian who also is very anti terrorist and often speaks for fair treatment of both Jews and Muslims. You can see Riads Banner ad (Palestine Childrens's welfare fund) at the top of the page here on occasion.

Not even in Morocco or Even Algeria. although I was there simply watching and being nosy and not Muslim at the time.

OBL doesn't have much to do with this topic. Unless I'm missing something and he is in fact a woman.

The way I read this tex it basically said that, woman are told and learned to stand against the "fundementalism" and "terrorism", and who do you think they mean by "fundementalism" and "terrorism" ?

hmmm...perhaps extreme fundamentalists and terrorists.
