Muslim Women Fight For Equal Access To British Mosques

submitted by gwaan

1 decade 7 years 1 week ago

90% of Mosque's in Britain fall short in providing facilities for women. This documentary entitled 'Women Only Jihad' chronicles MPACUK's attemept to gain access to mosques that exclude women in Britain. There is an interesting follow up video here, and an interesting critical response by a well known British female Muslim blogger here.

Two quick points:

(1) In the time of Muhammad women and men had complete equality of access to mosques and prayed side by side in the same space. Unfortunately the teachings of Islam have been corrupted and in many modern Islamic states women either have their access to mosques restricted or completely denied.

(2) Unfortunately, this is the case in many Western states as well. For example, the East London mosque has 1000 places available for women - compared to 5000 for men! Thankfully things are slowly changing, but there is still much to be done.
