Muslim charity run

[Thomasina79]

Has banned women and girls over the age of 12 from participating. Thoughts?

Yes it actually is. And the truly offensive thing is that Sharia courts exist at all in the UK.

So how would you describe women in Afghanistan? Educated?

Report them to https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/charity-commission

To link this run to Sharia law is insane when you know nothing of the true facts.

@Hadmysay says :
“No it just brainwashes them into wearing leas clothes for the male gaze,that they need to do horrible somewhat even violent sex acts in the bedroom for their boyfriends and that sleeping around is liberating”.

you should be ashamed not showboating your misogynistic views / victim blaming of male violence and support of female oppression

this is like conversing with someone who has their head so far up their arse all recognisable logic has disappeared and there is literally no reaching a worthy brain cell

Interesting.

Can it really be classed as free choice if you are born in to a religion that you can be killed, imprisoned or have property removed for leaving?

No one has said this
Don't tell posters on here what we mean

Where did the poster women should be locked up?

it is the women posting on here who have used words like banned and excluded when, in truth, they know nothing about it.

Western culture excludes and degrades and enacts violence against women in so many ways and you are focusing on the community activities of this one mosque? For shame.

There's loads of events for Muslim women.
They have the choice to go to them

I've just reported it to the Equality and Human Rights commission.

However, the courts have no legal authority under UK law.

Why are they needed tell me.
I want you to explain to me why you think they are needed.

I despair over the state of feminism in this country. If I believed in conspiracy theories it would me my guess that all these distractions exist to keep Western women in their place by making them feel they are doing better than Muslim women. Superiority complex.

from what I read in the paper

So it must be true.

Are you suggesting that we should ignore discrimination against women until the problem of male violence against women is solved?

No. Use your critical thinking and intelligence to think about what I might be suggesting. Life (and thought) is not as neat and binary as you seem to wish it to be.

What are these basic rights.
I would argue there are far more muslim women that have basic rights than the ones that don't.
Remember not every muslim country is afghanistan

@ThatSpryShaker you really should hang your head in shame. Talk about being an apologist for misogyny. There is nothing you can say to justify this hideous behaviour. I hope you don’t have daughters.

You seriously do not know why women need single sex changing rooms, rape crisis centres, sports events, exercise classes and so on? You cannot think of a single reason?

And you want us to respect what you have to tell us about Muslim women, or any women, or indeed anything at all?

But nothing will be done as everyone is too bloody scared to!

We're not talking about the laws of they're 'own religion' we're talking about the laws of the land they live in, which protect them from being discriminated against within the country and within a religion. Religious Law doesn't not supersede Secular Law.

You think Muslim women have more rights but you don't know why women require single sex spaces?

Do you hear yourself?

I wasn't linking it to Sharia law but the thread (as is usually the case in open debate) had shifted to Sharia Law at the point I responded. And may I ask why you think I know "nothing at all" of the true facts. Perhaps you'd like to expand on that, or even give us all the benefit of your presumably superior knowledge/research.

No I actually know why. But I want you to tell me.
So again tell me why do you think women need their own spaces seperate to men.

Something tells me that the discriminatory ignorance that this board has quickly descended to is exactly what that report wanted to achieve. And now a community event will probably be besieged by ignorant outside elements pretending to be protecting brown women they really couldn’t give a shit about.
