UK British mosques ban women from Facebook, traveling alone or wearing trousers

Am I the only one who is suspicious of the fact this is reported by RT,a Russian Govt owned news station that is known for continously spouting negative stuff about the West,while only saying positive stuff about Russia and its friends i.e. Assad ?

They are, as far as they are concerned, under Sharia Law (a body of legal codes which has thousands of interpretations, but much of it is utterly barbaric). See here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muslim_Arbitration_Tribunal

40% of the British Muslim population wants to implement Sharia Law as the final point of authority in British society. http://www.theguardian.com/uk/2007/jan/29/thinktanks.religion (these attitudes are far more prevalent amongst younger generations).

It's not that this is happening which concerns me, it's the oppression creep which concerns me - these things never operate in isolation, nor do they ever stop until more and more rights are eroded for the purposes of facilitating someone's inclusion.

In the 60s we had the civil rights movement, which is universally deemed correct. Then in the 80's we had the anti-racism movement which stipulated it's no longer enough to 'not be racist', you had a positive duty to patrol racism. Now, in the 00's, we have 'white privilege', a belief every white person is racist by default. It's oppression creep.

Let's be honest, these mullahs and imams are just scared of women

They're scared that women will find that power in them to leave them and not mindlessly serve them and follow their orders.

Mosques across the UK have ordered Muslim women to stop wearing trousers, leaving the house without permission from their husbands, or using Facebook in new controversial rules published by various Muslim organizations and associations.

he documents caused anger among anti-extremism campaigners and moderate Muslims who called the rules “outdated”and “totally wrong” interpretations of Islam, according to a report from The Times.

The Green Lane Masjid in Birmingham banned women from wearing trousers - even in front of their husbands as they show “details of her body”, while Blackburn’s Central Mosque said women should delete their Facebook accounts to protect them against “evil.”

The mosque cited a quote from the Koran about the “sin” of alcohol to justify its stance against the “vicious network” of Facebook.

“Facebook has opened the doors for it reads.sin. Muslim girls and women alike have become prey to this evil,” it reads.

Many individuals have different views on this subject. Some Muslims feel it is very important to cover yourself as it shows mosesty. Others feel the way you dress shouldnt reflect on the way you are. Some individuals feel facebook is very dangerous and filled with evil, whereas others see it as a usefull tool to connect with the world. At the end of the day what the mosque has asked for or reinforced has reflected on their veiws. This issue has many people talking, howeverit all comes down to ghe individuals veiws on certain topics. I overall believe modesty is important when attending a mosque, as it shows respect towards the religion, however it is not right in my oppinion to interfer with others social lives.

I don't understand why this is being allowed, surely this is a breach of so many British laws about discrimination, oppression, human rights?

And the thread is now derailed

looool every one we post on

Well done for showing yourself to be as idiotic and close-minded as the people who made the stupid comments in the first place.

I don't understand though? We're not run under Sharia Law. We are run under British Law. As such, how the **** are they not accountable?

Shut them down.

but that would be fascist/racist/islamophobic/xenophobic/nasty/mean

we live in a tolerant society where there is no room for those who discriminate and try to force their values on others

I don't understand though? We're not run under Sharia Law. We are run under British Law. As such, how the **** are they not accountable?

60% of U.S. muslims think homosexuality should be punishable by death. A comparable % feel a greater allegiance to Islam than the U.S. Gov. There's no reason to assume that some of those polled are not long term residents. A slightly different interpretation of this Scripture by this imam ot that one regarding a mans right to punish his wife becomes meaningless. They read the same koran but their imam tells them what they believe.
