Another woman leading Friday prayers in US
2005-03-25
Ooooh! That tightens their turbans so bad!
A female author leading a campaign for more rights for Muslim women said she would lead Friday prayers in Boston amid growing opposition from Islamic leaders. Asra Nomani, author of an upcoming book on women in Islam, said she would preside over a small Muslim congregation of men and women, becoming the second woman in a week to lead a Friday prayer, a role historically held by men. Nomani, 39, led a small prayer near Boston on Wednesday, but leading a Friday prayer is far more controversial. Last Friday, Amina Wadud, an associate professor of Islamic studies at Virginia Commonwealth University, led about 100 men and women in prayers in New York City, in a controversial event Nomani helped organise.
