There are around 1,600 mosques in Britain. Well over half do not allow women access to worship and hardly any allow women a say on how the mosques are managed and run. Journalist Tazeen Ahmad follows a group of young Muslim women who are waging a determined campaign to force these mosques to open up. She also investigates the recent Muslim scarf/veil controversies and speaks to some of the young women who choose to wear them. GUYS IF U LIVE IN THE UK WATCH IT!
I seen the advert it looks like battle of the sexes. Dont think is going to potray Muslim men in a good light.
thank you, Fi_sabilillahi - my intention was to watch that program ("women only Jihad") but since I have checked out the websites you suggested , I'm going to avoid watching it. Thank you again (for the websites- they were really useful)
Huh? Angry? There are many mosque were women arent let in, so whats so bad about watching some brave sisters stand up for what they believe in?
No, i meant that they only show programs like this to cause more hatred against the muslims and to make the muslims get sad/angry. So i prefer not to watch them.
I think the sister meant the links in my sig, Allaahu a'lam.
This is an important issue, and if sisters are just going to be fobbed off when they alone approach the heads of the mosques then something else has to be done. If men are made out to look back then it is down to their own doing. Woman's purpose in life isn't to be a baby making machine and being tied to the kitchen sink.
Just to comment on the debate the programme will probably be dealing with, I believe that Muslim women should be allowed to pray in the mosque if they so choose. The question of space etc is not really valid in my view - my university Islamic society and my local masjid are both pretty small (the former is two rooms and the latter a small, two-storey house). Thing is, they both found a way to incorporate sisters facilities - in the Islamic society, there is simply a male room and a female room, and in the mosque the men pray upstairs and in the attic, while the women pray downstairs and in a back hall. Simple. Where there's a will there's a way.
I'm also intrigued about these programmes I mean it's an issue which needs to be discussed but just like every other programme done by kufar on islam they put their spin on it, remember that "What muslims Want" Programme they kept making out the people who were pro-jihad were lunatics and just had a bais opionion from the get go so I wouldn't be suprised if they did something similar, this issue should be delt with inhouse it's a shame it's come to this kufar airing our dirty laundary in public while we don't even attempt to ressolve it.
Well i think there is a hadith regarding women prayers in masjid....I think it's something like that Home is the best place for women to offer her prayers...even though women are allowed to offer prayer in masjid
Oh Allah! I love you and I need you, come into my heart, please.

i know right! i was telling me sis da other day that they shouldnt have let it come on media like that! it should have been dealt with sensibly in private!:rant: oh well i agre that sis should be allowed in our local mosque we aint allowed i ask my bro to do somet he's apparently working on it!
I actually watched the programme tonight and im guessing from the points that perhaps not alot of people did. personally i think that muslim women should be allowed to pray in any mosquse but the approach and manner that those sisters took in that documentary wasnt the necessary best way
i didnt watch the prograame erm due to other programme scheduling
but i tink from the advert it had been over exagerated , im being honest i live in london yeh, and ive never come across a mosque where no woman are allowed .....
Jaa-Ro-Nee-Mo!!!
"they ask you when will the help of Allah (swt) come! Certainly Allah (Swt) help is always near"
and its true i also live in london and if ive walked past a mosque and needed to pray ive never been turned away and some of the points made were exagerrated a bit too much to
like that mosque they showed masjid e umar, thats in walthamstow heavy mosque and they allow women and men in, so i dunno what the program was on, did they highlight specific mosques? and people that dont let women in mosques should be shot
lol ironically in my mosque, they let the sisters in 1st, and if the sisters turn up in their numbers, then they block upstairs like let the sisters have the upstairs so if there aint any space for the brothers downstairs dey dont let us in so i know a mosque where they dont let men
Jaa-Ro-Nee-Mo!!!
