  • While I dont know how more moderate groups handle it, instruments other than the traditional hand-drum called the 'daf' is forbidden.

    That rant was not very coherent, I had some bad family experiences that were fresh, I will delete it.

    Im angry something regressive like the burka gets representation. People should be aware of how incredibly degrading the rhetoric that is used to justify women covering everything except their eyes is.

  • Its the shahada, the declaration of faith

  • Don't you worry people will be able to find what you were up to elsewhere in the past?

  • That icon goes way too hard for an uptime tracker.

  • Yes, the software it uses is mentioned in the post.

  • I'm an exmuslims so I have just as much exposure to Islam and muslim societies as you do.

    The clothing I had in mind is a prayer gown called a "telekung" and its used by women in south-east asia. Sort of like an abaya but the headwear is long and goes below the hips. From what Ive seen of mixed gender prayers, many women wrap clothing around their hips to have the same effect for when they bow down.

    Wat do women wear when they pray where you live that has you thinking it would be inappropriate if they lead?

  • That is deceptive because the origin of the ruling is written by male jurists (living with the ideas of gender from their time, a millenia ago).

    It is opposed even when muslim men and women choose to have women lead, so the choice only matters when it conforms to the already held view.

  • You must be unfamiliar with the clothing women usually wear when praying. Its large, draping and for a pervert there is nothing to see.

    If the concern really was men looking, Muhammad could have easily mandated women wear clothing that is appropriate for going for the sujood and rukhu instead of completely banning women becoming Imams for or being in mixed gender prayer.

    Another simple solution is to have a screen upto the female imam's hips for when she bows down and prostrates, if we insist on the jamaah not having mixed gender.

  • When will this end?

  • She is shocked by the price of the food (insert Downey Jr. "I'm stuff" image here).

  • distract from the have vs have-not's debate

    We can debate multiple things at once.

    then let's obsess about ... Then back to square one

    All those issues are important. So yes, we absolutely should obsess about those for however little they end up being hot, because these conversations are important. They bring attention to stuff and can change minds which is an effect that lingers on.

    And it seems wrong taking "not being insecure" as "accept everything", it seems to be more of "not being insecure about discussing gender inequality and such."

  • Its probably just for attention. Doing ridiculous stuff that dont make sense gets media coverage, more people talking about him and watching his content.

  • Twitter sided with the Turkish government and censored the accounts of political opponents ahead of a contentious election.

    Twitter accused of censorship in India as it blocks Modi critics. Canadian politician, poet, an India MP and journalists are among 120 accounts that have been withheld

    Very consistent with his claims /s

  • My memory is a little fuzzy, what did it cover on gender identity? Did you mean sexual orientation?
