That WaPo article is from 2015.  It was written by a woman named Asra Nomani. She and I grew up together in the same neighborhood. She was a whack job as a preteen and she remains a whack job today. She is the laughing stock of the muslim majority. She was an angry kid and you can still sense the anger in her today.

I will say this - in the Kaba where Muslims do their Hajj pilgrimage, there are no clear delineations of where women and men pray. We walk around the kaba together. We may end up praying side by side, although we make sure to maintain a respectful distance between men and women. This is such a huge issue for Miss Nomani but it's a non issue in Islam. Whether you pray side by side or whatever will not prevent you from getting into the gates of Heaven. Her words, however, are often divisive and THAT is what incites Muslim fury. Funny that you would find one of her wacky articles. Or maybe not so funny?[/quote][quote]

How is SHE the whack job?  You're the one who's been desensitized to the plight of women in Islam.  And while in the Kaba, things may be different, there are rules of separation btw the genders.

Why is she a whack job for becoming angry over that?  same can be said for the Orthodox Jews, for that matter . . .

If you wish to raise your daughters to be subservient, then you have my blessing.  But religions - like people - need to evolve.  Personally, I think they just need to disappear.  But if they're here to stay, then a push toward equality should be the number one priority.[/quote]
