The network dynamic of Islamic feminism

Then don't blame ISIS when they follow the religion as it is.

They dont though. Islam as it was practiced in the early days through to the collapse of MENA with the destruction of Baghdad is what I want.

Niqab and Islamic libertarianism are compatible. I do wear niqab on rare occasions, and am certainly a right-libertatian.

>men not allowed in a mosque
Lol, how is such discrimination Islamic. The solution to fighting discriminatory male-only mosques is not to just reverse the prejudice.

Female-led mosques are fine by many standards. I 100% am behind female imams leading mixed congregations, given that there are precautions taken to protect their modesty.

You realize that is against the Qur'an, right?

There is no 100% consensus on the issue, and I believe that so long as her modesty can be assured, it is fine. A man would be preferable, just due to the added conplexity, but Islamic knowledge should come first.

And no, it is not against the Quran, the arguments for and against women as Imams lie in the Hadith and practice of early Muslims.

In the practice of early Muslims, female imams are literally unheard of. If you have any contrary information, enlight me.

Not even to get into anymore depth, just check the wikipedia article. If you are willing to analyze without using the lense of a certain madhab, you will realize that it is fine.

Interestingly, most of these cases happened in majority-Christian countries by fresh converts (which makes it extremely unreliable, like the "liberal" LGBT mosque opened recently in Germany). I can understand women leading prayers with their children or sisters inside their house, but that's as far as I would go. In my country, mixed-gender congregations don't exist anyway, so that question is pointless.

No mixed gender congregations? The vast majority of masjids here are mixed.

Which mezheb are American Muslims anyway?

Idk honestly. People here just tend to identify as Muslim.

Looks like Muslims are indeed divided on many issues. In the entire Balkans, mixed congregations are a huge no-no.
