Islam is the fastest-growing religion in the world. In North America, most converts to Islam are women, many of whom are drawn to the religion through their experiences of social injustice and political involvement.
Ironically many mosques force women to pray behind barriers away from the men, and some mosques do not even permit women to enter the building. When it comes to user-friendliness for women, Canadian mosques run the entire gamut.
In Me and the Mosque, journalist and filmmaker Zarqa Nawaz visits mosques throughout Canada and talks to scholars, colleagues, friends and neighbours about equal access for women. Discussions about the historical role of women in the Islamic faith, the current state of mosques in Canada and personal stories of anger, fear, acceptance and defiance punctuate the film. And Nawaz herself speaks of the spiritual longing that comes from belonging to an institution that doesn't want you.
With original animation, archival footage and deeply personal interviews, Me and the Mosque is a smart, self-aware and whimsical story that documents the debates and presents the personalities on all sides of the issue.

yeah,women are treated like queens in the arabian barbaric Pisslam,watch my videos ,watch how the arabs marry their 8 year old daughters away .watch how they treat women in islam,their women are not allowed to drive ,watch how the saudi famous author is teaching how to beat your wifes.
Women are treated like queens in Islam with respect. No culture treats women better than ours, thats why so many Western women are converting to Islam Alhamdulillah!
Assalaamu alaikum, what u sed is completely wrong and misleading for other muslims to read. One must be qualified and extremely knowledgable to derive an interpretation of the holy quran, we can't just interpret things to fit wat we like. Go read the Tafsir of the quran by Ibn Kathir.
freemixing of genders is forbidden in islam, ask a respected and knowledgable sheikh why. I have heard this issue discussed many times on islamic QA and the answer is always the same from each sheikh, its haram!
hehe it is not haram! we asked a Grand Ayatollah and he said it is not haram! its haram for man and woman alone, but a group is definitly permissible, while it is preferd that an adult is present (we are teenagers at the mosque, grownups have even less strict about it); plus people were never segrated at the time of the prophet all were mixed, more mixed then now, so its a bida to segrate people
Ah well ur shia then, i follow the sunnah and according to islam freemixing of sexes is forbidden. i don't want to get into a sunni/shia debate so i'll leave it at that. May Allah (swt) guide us all to the truth.
