[quote][blue]"If it gives an opportunity to women to get together to talk of God, to be active in furthering Islamic research especially on their own issues, [b]which they would like to sort out themselves than being patronized by the beards[/b], if it gives them a platform to raise their voice even more vehemently against widespread domestic abuse, then I fully endorse this mosque."

I don't agree.  Almost all mosques have programs for both males and females which take place during the week.  Just because there happens to be both males and females going to the same mosque doesn't mean the females don't get their own special time and place to learn about Islam and seek help in whatever problems their going through.  Umar bin Khattab (RA) the second Caliph of Islam started the practice of seperating men and women in the mosque so that they can't see each other.  Now that practice is common throughout the Muslim world.  Men have their own area and women have their own area.  There is no need for any more seperation after this.  And let me pose another question for you.  If the mosque is run by females and only females attend.  What happens if there are unbeleving men and women who harass the women when they are entering and leaving the mosque?  Who is going to be there to protect our sisters.  This is not something which is a farfetched idea.  Ever since 9/11 there have been attacks on Muslims throughout the western world.  This is something which I don't agree against, and yes it is an innovation to the religion.[/quote]
