He saw this and became very angry.<br /><br />Some time later she was walking back in the other direction. The mulla called out, "Young lady, don't you know it's a sin to walk in front of someone who's praying?"<br /><br />She answered, "Oh, I'm sorry! I was on my way to to meet my lover... I never saw you."Sister Jannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08083949605057833356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4385205961037530446.post-41492430310599476052010-03-02T18:15:24.250-05:002010-03-02T18:15:24.250-05:00What Jen said!

One thing I've noticed is that Muslim men, as I commented on the recent post about Yusuf al-Qaradawi, have difficulty in seeing reality from the perspective of "the other".Quotable Quotes:https://www.blogger.com/profile/10875865758846571469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4385205961037530446.post-40413649461035150362010-03-01T20:10:20.192-05:002010-03-01T20:10:20.192-05:00solsticewitch13,

This self-centred, narcissistic view of the situation ignores the issue of their right to pray as equals. If this inconveniences the imam and other males, if this requires that males exert a little self-discipline, then so be it. A woman's right to equality surpasses male learned discomfort.Kinneddarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02061846635333052252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4385205961037530446.post-69308643853551170692010-03-01T11:31:57.002-05:002010-03-01T11:31:57.002-05:00Love this post and your blog, have posted to my si...Love this post and your blog, have posted to my site,, with an addition,,<br /><br />"watch out for Canadian Women too!"<br /><br />Lan Astaslem<br /><br />solsticewitch13solsticewitch13https://www.blogger.com/profile/14850552059274896475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4385205961037530446.post-12298023632513013032010-03-01T07:31:41.252-05:002010-03-01T07:31:41.252-05:00srinivasan, thanks for the compliment.

If a man can't control himself while praying then something is wrong with HIM.<br /><br />Actually the hadith you mentioned was refuted by Aisha herself - she said she used to sit in the Prophet's line of vision when he prayed, thus making it impossible that he would say that a prayer was invalidated if a woman was in the way. After this she criticized the fact that women were being put alongside donkeys and dogs.<br /><br />I've also read several times that the mosque during the Prophet's time was unsegregated.<br /><br />"This is the same prophet who stated that a man needed to perform ritual ablutions after he had gone to the bathroom or touched a women."<br /><br />If it is from the Qur'an, then God stated it, not Mohammed. And actually the interpretations vary, especially since Aisha said that the Prophet would go next door to the mosque and lead prayer after they'd had sex, WITHOUT performing ablutions...<br /><br />It's interesting how Americans want Muslim women to be "liberated" but then almost arrest them when they peacefully protest.
