Erm... Are u sure u meant to say that....

Check this out. In response to a learned bro, who decided to whip out his Hadith book and lay into the idea of a woman leading Friday prayers this person put this in (you can check out the original thread by following the link):

Thanks so much for your post, amismiles. Unlike so many of the conservatives who oppose women leading prayers, you are honest and forthright about your reasons, which we can summarize as follows:

* Women are innately tempting to men--their voices, their movements in prayer, even their walking through mosque doorways, even though they are fully covered (!).

* Women are responsible for men's erections.

* Women don't really belong in the mosque anyway. They should pray in the darkest and most cramped closets in their homes.

* If women do come to the mosque, they must be behind the men, as far back as possible, in fact.

* This treatment honours women. Even though no Muslim man would stand to be treated in this way at the mosque or anywhere else, when Muslim women are objectified in this way and shoved to the back, it shows the utmost respect to them, and they should be grateful.

Obviously, we need more female-led prayers, if only to root out such woman-hating attitudes from our communities.

Ermm ... oooohkay:

Now I read the original argument and it was long winded but he wheeled out the old line about wimin being responsible for X,Y and Z.

However, the argument against is just as silly.

Erm.. as a muslim shouldn't you be glad that a woman gives you erection and not pictures of Brad Pitt?

Fair point , about the allure of women, I mean if you find a full Burka alluring then dude, you need to see a shrink or invest in some S&M gear.

The objectification of women isn't a Muslim thing. It's a society thing. Men get objectified too. how its all done and hows its carried out it different according to the society.

Lemme ask everyone this - is Angelina Jolie being objectified in Tomb Raider or not. I bet male readers are objectifying away right now.....

Dude, who are you? I saw your posts at MWU and linked over here. I think you are talented writer but don't you think, you take the self-deprecating humour abit to close to the offensive. Don't you want to be taken seriously? You should consider this, you have some valuable insights which might get lossed in the comedy!

Salaams,

PS They kicked me out of the MWU commenting forum. Without even an e-mail, Progressives=Fundis? Very strong possibilty....

PPS You ever truly consider spell check, quite abit of typos...you see, I have concern for your points of views. Don't think otherwise!

Salaamun 'Alaikum,

I haven't read your posts on MWU but I'm sure they are thoughtful :-)

Whuddup, dude they booted you?! Dang! What for?

This is probably my first official comment on a blog. You should be honored Mullah :) jk!

Whaddup you asked a few times why I visited MWU, I wanted to confirm a theory I had. And it has been confirmed. It was later MORE solidified after reading about M. Khan and his love affair with Big Brother.

Wa Salaam,
Al Haidar
