A Harem would be easier to open in anybody's basement there?
What's going on with Muktomonas big guns? Guns have fallen silent without that pestering diikhead?

There are such mosques in North America too. Why is it a sin to open a place to worship God? It is not up to us to judge, but for God to decide. We are all equal before God.On Fri, Sep 19, 2014 at 8:39 PM, Shah DeEldar <shahdeeldar@gmail.com> wrote:--For your information. Sinful? You decide!-SD

A Muslim academic has opened a gay-friendly mosque in South Africa, despite receiving death threats and fierce criticism from parts of the local Muslim community.Women will also be allowed to lead prayers at Taj Hargey's "Open Mosque" in Cape Town."We are opening the mosque for open-minded people, not closed-minded people," Mr Hargey told the BBC.He says the mosque will help counter growing Islamic radicalism.Mr Hargey, a professor at the Muslim Educational Centre of Oxford in the UK, told the BBC's Newsday programme it was time for a "religious revolution"."In South Africa 20 years ago, there was a peaceful revolution changing from apartheid to democracy and we need to have a similar development in the area of religion," he said.Taj Hargey denies going against Muslim teachingWomen will be allowed to preach and pray alongside menSome Muslim groups are opposed to the mosqueMr Hargey, who was born in Cape Town, said the mosque would welcome people from all genders, religions and sexual orientations.As well as leading prayers, women would be allowed to pray in the same room as men, he said.He contrasted this to the current Islamic practice which sees "women at the back of the street, back of the hall, out of sight, out of mind".However, members of Cape Town's large Muslim community have taken to social media to criticise the new mosque, with some labelling him a "heretic" or "non-believer".One group tried to block the opening of the mosque.South Africa's umbrella body for Islamic groups, the Muslim Judicial Council (MJC), says it is investigating the new mosque and has noted concerns raised in the community.In his sermon Mr Hargey condemned the increasing hatred in the world between Muslims and Christians and blamed it on "warped theology", reports AFP news agency.When asked about his qualifications as a religious leader he said: "I have a PhD in Islamic studies from Oxford University, unlike my opponents who went to some donkey college in Pakistan or Saudi Arabia."He told the BBC that he wanted to revive "the original mosque of the Prophet Muhammad, where there were no barriers"."This idea of female invisibility is an innovation that came after Muhammad, unfortunately it has become entrenched," he said.
