Mosque in uber-liberal London enclave bans all females over 12 from charity park run...

What is your opinion about this is it ok or not ok?
Should this be allowed or not?

It's a fun run.
Plenty of single sex sports events exist.

I believe in women's rights regardless of religion.
I also believe if a mosque wants to organise a fun run that's men and children only then that's up to them.

How do you know?
Do you attend that mosque?

They don't have to attend that mosque if they don't like it.

But it’s not single sex. It’s all males AND females under 12. Why are you being deliberately obtuse?

Both age and sex discrimination being shamelessly played out in our capital city. Nothing fun about that.

There's a huge amount of women's only sports events and sessions that take place all over the UK.

But this isn’t one of them.

I am not Muslim.
I don't follow any faith.
But I am sick of the anti Muslim crap that the media keeps drumming up to cause more hatred.
This article about the fun run was clearly written to flame hatred.
It's a community fun run for men and (under 12) children organised by a mosque.
I'm sure the mosque organises women only events too.
The hatred in the UK at the moment is becoming frightening.

So?

But they should have the freedom to choose!

Calling Whitechapel 'uber liberal enclave' is a bit ridiculous. It's an area with an enormous Muslim population and has been for decades. And it's unloved and poverty stricken in the most part. Obviously it's liberal in that there's plenty of brown people. But no more so than anywhere else in north or east London.

Whitechapel Leisure Centre - in an area with a large Islamic population runs entire Women Only sessions.
Why is that ok but a bunch of blokes running around a park not?
Seriously people....this article wasn't about women's rights. It was anti Muslim Daily Mail crap.

Why do you think that religious organisations in the UK should not follow UK law?

See my post above about Women's Only sessions at Whitechapel Leisure Centre.
Are they against UK law?
What UK laws has the mosque broken?

The race was all men and boys plus girls under 12 what exception in the Equality Act were the mosque using for this event?

I have no idea but single sex groups are not illegal?
As far as I know.

What is single sex about a race that includes all males and some females

Open to everyone: runners, walkers, and children (girls under 12 and boys of any age)

Here are two events I literally found online by Googling that take place in South London.
Oh by the way....they are organised by a CHRISTIAN church.
Illegal?
Daily Mail readers fuming about this? I doubt it.
(screenshots incoming)

Are those events single sex or mixed sex like the race in question

a race that has men and boys snd girls under 12 is not in anyway single sex

a race for men and boys would be compliant

a race for women and girls would be compliant

a race for all boys and men and some girls is not compliant

They let little kids join in.
That's all.
Their mosque. Their rules.
I am leaving this thread because it's clearly just exactly what the Daily Mail wants.
Anti Islam hatred.

uber-liberal London enclave 🤣

you lost me there I’m afraid

The mosque is in the UK and subject to uk law so not their mosque their rules

But people assume a Christian church in England will be mostly white people so they won’t be bothered. They just like getting angry about brown people, and in particular, brown men.
