It’s been a while since I tangled with some of those guys. I will see if I can find some.

Question for all of you complaining about the police: Do you also complain when police are called to churches because of gay protesters or other wackos like the westboro cretins?

The participation of the DC police in this is shameful and embarassing.

Interestingly, when the Washington Post reported this story, it OMITTED the part about the participation of the DC police in enforcing gender separation.

If these Islamic Feminists (which under Sharia might be a contradiction in terms) keep it up there are apt to be a lot of female heads rolling around the streets of Washington.

Islam cannot and I opine will not tolerate such “uppity” women within the Caliphate, including the American Caliphate.
Before this movement spreads very far, I predict that it will be nipped in the proverbial blood... errr... I mean “bud”.

Bash Christians as some will; they have not, by and large, to my knowledge anyway, routinely tortured, mutilated, or murdered people for disagreeing with them since the early 1600s.

I don’t think that this latest Islamic Women’s Lib movement is going to end all that well for them - especially now that the Mullahs have got the DCPD enforcing Sharia “Law” for them.

Stay tuned...

Religious institutions have the right to set their own rules. People who don’t like those rules should worship elsewhere.

I'm with you. That's exactly what the First Amendment says, and that makes our God-given right a legal right. I hope these women will look at the "faith" that treats them like goats (and, no, I won't elaborate or make the obvious jokes) and at God's path, and convert from Islam to a real faith.

The AM's do a good job of taking them off.

In order for many of these women to leave Islam, they would have to divorce their husbands. What grounds would a Christian church accept for divorce under these circumstances?

Perhaps she might find more comfortable settings for worship if she looked to Christ instead of a moon worshipper.

It certainly says something about the free exercise of religion and private property.

She was tresspassing.

Segregation by sex is hardly unusual in religion.

Judaism treats women equally, but you divide by sex to prevent distraction.

From viewing the Syrian beauties coming out of the Ocean Parkway Synagogue, I can see why.

I have to admit, when I was in my early teens, I spent more time looking at women's legs than whatever the Priest said.

How was she trespassing? It is her place of worship, and it is open, as far as I can tell, to the public. What I don’t get is why go somewhere you’re not wanted? Find another religion. Just because segregation by sex isn’t isn’t unusual doesn’t make it any less Stone Age.

“How was she trespassing?”

It’s private property. I presume it is owned by a non-profit corporation of some kind. The agents of the corporation (e.g., the iman) did not want her there. She refused. That’s tresspassing.

“Just because segregation by sex isn’t isn’t unusual doesn’t make it any less Stone Age.”

I suppose. I have been to less Orthodox shuls and more Orthodox shuls. Some with a symbolic divider, some with a large one.

When I was a kid, I was certainly looking at the young women my age when I had the opportunity (and vice versa).

Apparently they are not Bible based Christians if they condone violence against women in marriage or any other instance.....
