Woman leads Muslim prayer service
NEW YORK (AP) -- A female professor led an Islamic prayer service Friday with men in the congregation despite sharp criticism from Muslim religious leaders in the Middle East who complained that it violated centuries of tradition.
About 80 to 100 people attended the service, and the group appeared evenly divided between men and women.
And thats what she said, "With this prayer service we are moving forward. This single act is symbolic of the possibilities within Islam." "We are standing up for our rights as women in Islam. We will no longer accept the back door or the shadows, At the end of the day, we'll be leaders in the Muslim world"
She also added "It's not about telling other Muslims how they should worship, We just need to be open to new ideas."
All i can comment is someone put me infront of her so that i have the privilege of sending her straight to hell.
