Qur’an 4.34: “Men stand superior to women in that God hath preferred some of them over others, and in that they expend of their wealth; and the virtuous women, devoted, careful (in their husbands’) absence, as God has cared for them. But those whose perverseness ye fear, admonish them and remove them into bed-chambers and beat them; but if they submit to you, then do not seek a way against them; verily, God is high and great.”
Take from that what you will.
Why is this being reported like it’s a surprise to anyone?
The Muslim women are not complaining so this really is a non story….
Patriarchal religion in being patriarchal shock.
Next we’re going to have women complaining the Catholic’s won’t let them be priests, or the queer community can’t get married in church.
On the other hand I’d *love* to see someone try to sue a mosque (or any church or temple) over equality.
>Laiqah Osman — whose sister was among those reportedly told to go home — said she believed some within the mosque “don’t see us as equals, or even as worthy enough to be in the space”.
You’ve only just realised? Islam says men must cover the area above their wrist, the chest, the feet… yet it’s not unusual to see a Muslim man wearing a short sleeve shirt whilst his wife is wearing a burkha of some sort.

The CofE agreed to women priests and gay marriages, no religion can be exempt from the laws of the land, this is what is meant by “render unto Caesar what is Caesar’s”.
