first I must say you are a strong woman for taking a stand. I wish other woman would stand up and let the world know the way women are treated in this religion. Where are all the womens rights activist??? Before I did this I would really get more women to do it with you though. Depending on where you live could prove the how severe of an action is taken against you. Strength in numbers! Please let me know how you make out...god bless you.

wow! do you ever have an ignorant opinion of Islam! Obviously it comes from listening to the fearmongers on your television and not at all from knowing anything about the religion or from knowing any musilms personally. I suggest you try to remedy this. You may be hard of hearing but if there is no problem with your eyes then you could start by reading a book. There is lots of great stuff out there but you could start with Karen Armstrong; she's really good at explaining a lot about different religions, what they are like, and how they got to be that way. She's got a book called Islam: A Short History, and two other books called A History of God and The Battle For God which are comparative histories of the three monotheisms; Judaism, Christainity, and Islam. She's just a name I'm throwing out there as a good place to start but there are lots of books in thw world and a good number of them have quality information in them. Be careful of writers who are pushing propaganda or spreading hate and fear. There are lots of those too.
In my experience women have (generally speaking) as highly repsected a position within Islam as they do in Judaism or Christainity.

I would have to ask why you would want to be any part of a "religion" that disrespected women so blatantly. A place of worship should be a place where anyone can go and find peace. Just the fact that you are expecting violence to take place there for no reason other than the fact you are a female should be a BIG "heads up" that maybe you aren't in the right place. The men may be there in all their arrogance proclaiming vengeance on you in the name of "Allah" but I can promise you God is not there. Go to a church. Sit where you like. Let someone introduce you to the real God. You'll be amazed how freeing it is to know the real true God and be accepted and loved by Him and by His children.

And among the teachings of His Holiness Bahá'u'lláh is the equality of women and men. The world of humanity has two wings -- one is women and the other men. Not until both wings are equally developed can the bird fly. Should one wing remain weak, flight is impossible. Not until the world of women becomes equal to the world of men in the acquisition of virtues and perfections, can success and prosperity be attained as they ought to be.
(Abdu'l-Baha, Baha'i World Faith - Abdu'l-Baha Section, p. 288)

First you are an ignorant person, doing so much crack. No, not normal crack but butt crack. Because a normal person would still have respect to other religions.
Second you are sniffing your stinky feet so bad that you feel that all people are bad people like you.
Third as a piece of advice you should stop smelling your butt juice ,because you are full of that juice, so that you can see the world in a better light.

Didn't they used to have their females wear clothing that covered their whole body? I don't know if you can sue or not, but they are limiting your rights. I would bring a plain clothes cop with me, just in case it gets too rowdy. Its sad how man can't let women drive once in a while. They are too proud, and might have their pride in the way. I'm sorry you are being treated like this. I'm only 15 and I don't have much experience.

If you've ever been in a mosque, you'd realize that the men and women sit on separate sides--left and right, not front and back.

Sahara, see if the mosque offers special listening devices that you can wear for the ceremony. Don't be confrontational. If you do not feel comfortable in a mosque, then just find somewhere else that you can worship in peace.
I know that Christian Churches do not segregate like that...

There are seperate sections for males and females, you should be praying at home. It is only required for men to pray in congregation.
I am sensing you are either a hypocrite or a disbeliever.
