Chicago Mosque Not allowing in Women?

@X2

PCG got it right.
there is no need for a physical partition

I see responsibility on both genders here, because it is our wives, sisters, daughters and mothers being pushed aside.
This has no basis in religion, majority of us dont really care but because it is not affecting us per say but our silence on this means that the only voices heard are those who would push their cultural practices in the guise of religion over all of us.

Now ladies..one thing you can do to help yourself is tell others sitting with you to stop the yip yap. sadly there is a little bit too much choon choon going on there even during khutbas and stuff. something that can plainly be seen in most. This is in itself not reason enough to have separate sections but thought I would point that out.

That would be true if all muslim brothers were progressive.

Unfortunately they are not.

Many times I see bearded clerics oogling at girls and women.

Infact, they just stare right at you without having the common decency to look away when you look back.

And for the sisters, going to the Mosque has become a social event. Its when you display your new clothes, catch up on gossip, and do the regular mumbo jumbo.
