I'm with ya! A few years back, the pastor of my Roman Catholic Church put up a sign at the entrance to tell women that they couldn't wear shorts or tank tops, etc. to mass, not because it might be disrespectful to God, but because it distracted the men from their prayer! WHAT?!!!!!! Men, apparently, were able to wear whatever they wanted, no matter how nasty it was because women wouldn't be distracted by that!
So, it wasn't the MAN'S fault for allowing himself to be distracted and start thinking sexual thoughts, it was the WOMAN'S fault! Gee, I thought we'd moved past that part of St. Augustine's teachings that women were evil! I made sure I wore shorts to mass and went to the pastor for communion. Just let him say something....! The sign was removed rather quickly.

I think your absolutely right.
I have issues with most religions, the majority that choose distinctions between sexes or other human beings, all Life for that matter.
How can it be "The God" when it does'nt encompass everything equally???
Its more an more apparent that they are mear systems of control an oppression.
Where's the Love an where's the light?
There should be no distinction when it comes to faith or belief.
It doesn't matter who you believe in just believe.
An I believe it should be a private thing your faith, your relationship with God, that way its with you always not only at prayer time.
Only God can judge us. Only god has the right to seperate.

I think what you are failing to realize is that prayer in Islam is not like prayer in Christianity. It's very physical in Islam. People stand shoulder to shoulder and smash their faces into the floor with their tails high in the air. I went to a mosque during my Islamic Studies course and I was amazed at the...umm...physical closeness in there. You can smell breath, BO, perfume...everything! And don't get me started on how many times I got bumped by some fat woman's butt or boob. And I wasn't even praying. I was just in the same space!
Feminist thought causes some women to believe that men don't check them out under all circumstances. But if you put a line of women bent over with their faces down and their butts up, men are going to look! That is the way men are! And frankly, that is kind of stuff is they fantasize about women doing. Any man who doesn't get aroused at that site is either gay or damn near dying.
If you asked random non-Muslim women to stand in front of a group of men and then prostrate themselves like a Muslim does, how many would agree to that? Even women who are comfortable with their bodies would probably look at you as though you'd lost your mind. Most women would not appreciate a man looking at them from that angle. The fact that it's prayer isn't going to stop them from being men.
Also, the first mosque erected by the Prophet Muhammad had only one entrance and one room. It is modern Muslims who have decided to have separate entrances and other things.
Hope this sheds some light on the issue. It was your thinking that lead me to take an Islamic Studies class.
Edited to add: I think it's funny how people are giving me the thumbs down even though I'm clearly the only poster on this question who has made the effort to meet real Muslims, visit their place of worship, study the religion, and understand standard Islamic logic.
People love to throw stones from a distance, but few are bold enough to slap your face. Instead of talking about how bad it is for Muslim women, why don't you stop being a coward and visit a mosque? Or are you scared your blissful ignorance will the challenged again?

it truly is right now replacing, fantastically as society will change into extra tolerant to homosexuality, and bisexuality as you reported. traditionally, women were extra valued for his or her seems than the male. it truly is virtually as if the female's worth replaced into somewhat in accordance to her ability to attraction to the male, and in no way vice-versa. the female's position replaced into to delight her mate, her relations,and society yet for her attractiveness and graces. The male replaced into valued extra on his ability, his ability to provide, his ability to steer, intelligence, or success, at the same time as his seems were relegated. yet like I reported, it truly is an element of the previous, when you consider that now seems are being actively well-liked as with the female. immediately, those adult males who've the classic values and are handsome besides, have an extra plus. even with the undeniable fact that, immediately women and adult males are nevertheless no longer at par of their criteria of attractiveness. i imagine the stress is on the female more effective than the male, fantastically in underdeveloped countries.

Absolutely!!!
I couldn't agree more!
It is a disgrace that women are made to suffer just because some men can't be bothered to exercise a bit of self control.
And bless your heart for putting this question on here.

I agree. Why should women suffer because of some men's inability to behave appropriately?
