All in the name of Islam. Al-Maghrib's Yasir Qadhi and his stooges on MM don't seem to have a problem with this it seems.

Yes you did.

Read the whole article (took me about 9 minutes).

I posted the following in the comments, which was completely ignored:

There is a hadith in Sahih Muslim that states
: عن عمرة بنت عبد الرحمن أنها سمعت عائشة زوج النبى صلى الله عليه وسلم تقول لو أن رسول
الله صلى الله عليه وسلم رأى ما أحدث النساء لمنعهن المسجد كما منعت نساء بنى إسرائيل قال فقلت لعمرة أنساء بنى إسرائيل منعن المسجد قالت نعم (صحيح مسلم)

Amrah bint Abdur Rahman narrates that she heard ‘Aisha (Radhiyallahu Anhu) the wife of Nabi (Sallalahu Alaihi Wasallam) say, “If Rasulullah (Sallalahu Alaihi Wasallam) were to see the condition of the women (of today), he would have verily prevented them from coming to the masjid how The Israelites women were preventing from coming to their place of worship. I asked Amrah, “Were the Israilite women prevented form coming to the masjid?” She replied, “Yes”. (Sahih Muslim)
يَعْنِي مِنْ الزِّينَة وَالطِّيب وَحُسْن الثِّيَاب . وَاَللَّه أَعْلَم

Imam al-Nawawi states in his explanation to this hadith in Sharh Sahih Muslim:

676 – قَوْلهَا : ( لَوْ أَنَّ رَسُول اللَّه صَلَّى اللَّه عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَأَى مَا أَحْدَثَ النِّسَاء لَمَنَعَهُنَّ الْمَسْجِد )
يَعْنِي مِنْ الزِّينَة وَالطِّيب وَحُسْن الثِّيَاب . وَاَللَّه أَعْلَم .

Aisha’s (ra) statement: if the Messenger of Allah (saw) saw the condition of the women of today, he would have prohibited them from the masjid” means, due to their adornment, perfume, and beautiful clothing.

If the condition of the women at Aisha (ra) time was such that she saw them unfit to attend the masjid, imagine the condition of our Muslim sisters in the States today. Our feminist sisters who collaborate with the likes of Asra Nomani and make our masajid and religion in general a source of negative media attention should ponder upon that fact. Taking into consideration that it is difficult for Western Muslim women to be in an Islamic environment or to learn about the religion other than in the masajid, the heads of the masajid decided to include women’s sections instead of preventing them from the masajid, while making separate sections to quell the fitnah that would ensue otherwise.

If you look carefully, two other writers on MM, Amad and Siraaj, critiqued the post. Secondly, you assume Yasir Qadhi has some sort of administrative control of the site, or that his lack of a response signifies approval, neither of which is true. In fact, he has spoken and written extensively against progressives: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=elY_cQd82D0

My impression? Typical liberal feminist whining.

The best way to deal with them is probably to just ignore them, as their protests and sit ins are designed to create attention. Make them look stupid by showing them no one cares.

Here are some other random thoghts:

1.

For example, ‘A’isha bint Talha, who was one of ‘A’isha bint Abi Bakr’s students, is well known for very publicly refusing the demands of others that she cover her face in public.

Is this true?

2.

I hear Pray In is a progressive group, full of other media savvy progressive-type activists that want men and women to pray side by side and women imams?

It is interesting that the author goes to great lengths in attempting to "refute" all the other points, but doesn't outright criticize the progressives.

3. If these people really wanted to follow the Sunnah, and not just get "equal rights" with men, they'd be the praying at home and wearing niqab. But what they really want is a way to make themselves forget their own insecurities regarding their value and worth as people.
