Ulemas slam woman leading Muslim prayer
2005-03-22
The Congress of Islamic Jurisprudence in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, Tuesday denounced Muslim services led by a woman in in Manhattan last week. The congress which is affiliated with the Organization of Islamic Conference said in a statement the services were misguided.
"Prayers don't work when they're led by a babe. Everybody knows that!"
"This act is contradictory to the rules of sharia (Islamic law), which forbids having women and men praying side by side," the statement said.
"Allan don't listen to them both at the same time!"
"Friday prayer is a religious duty for men only, while women can only attend if they wish to but not as a duty ... Prayers are totally not valid if they are led by a woman," the statement said.
"Nope. Sorry. You wasted the whole Friday. Might as well have gone bowling."
I'm sure the National Organization for Women will denounce these sexist islamic males any minute now.......
