Actually you are wrong. The section Group Prayers and the Imam of the “Reliance of the Traveller” speaks about separating the men and women. This book has the stamp of approval from Al Azhar, the highest learning Islamic school in the world. When you know more about Islam than them, please let me know. I really do not care where that word comes from. Islam is the anti-thesis of America, and it shoud of never been allowed to be practiced here in the first place. I also do not care about other religions, as other religions are not on a worldwide jihad.

Pagan Arabs were separating men and women before Islam came along. So were Jews. So were virtually all the Semites in every Semetic speaking sector of the Middle East.

They were doing that for thousands of years.

The first Moslems in Mecca didn't relax the ancient rule. That a school might come along a minimum of a century later and say "yeah, the rule is so and so" doesn't make that school the original authority.

With respect to the Jewish Temple in Jerusalem, the Court of Women allowed the presence of both men and women. The Court of Israelites allowed only Jewish men.

Non-Temple worship, the only kind available in modern times, simply requires the separation of men and women during prayer. There may well be some groups that are more strict, but there you have it.

Jesus would have been quite familiar with the exclusionary zones of the Temple.

Actually there are OTHER religions that are on a worldwide jihad. Just that they’re so small you don’t know about them.
