[quote]let us quote from the article for each of your statements.

>>They explicitly state that the only reason they want to build the mosque is to air their greivances about their husbands and the judicial system.

"We want our space to meet, talk, discuss our grievances [green]and pray[/green]. We [green]want to have a say in community rulings[/green]," Sharifa told BBC News Online.

>>But all they want to do is gather around and talk about their husbands behind their back, airing out their dirty laundry.

How do you know that sitting in your lovely confines of the U.S.? And based on what facts? Is it ethically and morally right on your part to speculate?

>>If he abuses her then she can go to a court and divorce him, end of story.

Badar Sayed agrees that the [green]"male-dominated jamats" are often biased in rulings that affect women. [/green]

"Women are oppressed. [green]The jamat does rule against them most of the time," [/green] she says.

>>These women are just looking for any excuse to complain and thats not right.

How do you know that?

>>Islamic courts are not descriminating against women because they go by the laws of Allah s.w.t. written in the Quran.

Have you forgotten the two stoning cases in Sudan? The men went fooling around to leave the two women to face potential stoning.
 
>>Most of these women probably don't know all of these laws or they don't understand them fully, so they take that as descrimination when a verdict is made.

How do you know that?

I suggest you choose your words appropriately especially when in the mainstream US public.

[green]Questions:[/green]

Rajitha Begum, 37, whose husband abandoned her, says a mosque would help women who have "nobody to go to".

1) If you do not want this mosque built, will you take the responsibility to help out women in this position?

2) Have you ever written a piece of condemnation against widespread domestic absue, triple divorce, acid spillings etc.? Have you taken to task the law makers for not providing institutions to deter such rampant violations?

If you have not, then I suggest you start doing something, before other women in the Muslim world demand a mosque of their own.

3)You had in one of your earlier posts written:

>>But this mosque will bring a lot of good though. I want to see more women encouraged to learn the quran and teach it to others.
