What a strange response
Can we keep in mind that this is an event organised by one place of worship and be critical of it without using it as a stick to beat millions of people with incl. a Mayor who probably had no clue it was happening?
If we can't, we risk coming across as a bunch of pr*cks looking for an excuse to shout about people we don't like. Folks get excluded from all sorts of stuff because of all kinds of religious practices.
e.g. women couldn't be priests or have senior roles in the church. Religions and people who are involved in running places of worship aren't likely to be the type to bend towards outside norms at breakneck pace.
It isInteresting article - who could argue with it?
KHADIJA KHAN: Despite Sadiq Khan's claims, Islamic law IS creeping in
Misogyny exists everywhere. But we're usually quick to call it out. Only when it's Islamic misogyny do we fall silent, excusing it as a cultural issue.www.dailymail.co.uk

That's the Mail. Not saying it's wrong, but I don't believe a single thing they say.
I did actually give a quick read.Er it’s written as an opinion piece by a Muslim woman?
This is where she lost me, I’m afraid. She’s asking the question in a Daily Mail column on the day of the race!Ask yourself: how long would a Jewish or Christian run excluding women go ahead without sparking national outrage?

Thanks. In the meantime, do you need help working the quote function?You do realise I was commenting Otis strangely couldn’t open it?

Seems it’s sponsored by the major Muslim uk charity so clearly no problems seen
Did you want a discussion on the op-ed you posted or not?Not really no. It’s interesting how you frantically try and deflect subjects like this.
Do you feel slightly dirty and ashamed deep down?
I don’t see how it’s not breaking inequality laws.GoodFemale ban Muslim Charity Run probed over 'equality law violations'
The investigation comes after women and girls over the age of 12 were ruled out by a mosque from taking part in a charity fun run, as revealed by the Mail on Sunday.mol.im
I sense a fudge coming?I don’t see how it’s not breaking inequality laws.
Is it not time that people admit.they were wrong. That the Muslim faith is backwards, old fashioned, out of touch, sexist, homophobic.... I could go on but I havent got all night.Can we keep in mind that this is an event organised by one place of worship and be critical of it without using it as a stick to beat millions of people with incl. a Mayor who probably had no clue it was happening?

Hahahaha fucking hell, you really are an idiot. Make an embarrassment of yourself every time you post on here, just stick to Gifs instead of typing words please!

But haven't you contradicted yourself there?Is it not time that people admit.they were wrong. That the Muslim faith is backwards, old fashioned, out of touch, sexist, homophobic.... I could go on but I havent got all night.
To say as such isnt racist, it isnt islamaphobic, its calling it for what it is! Many Muslims dont follow their religion to the word. As with many Jews, Christians, Sikhs etc. They generally live by the bits that say "be good, nice people". But there are parts of Islam, and people.that live by them as a rule of life, that are just plain fucking crazy! Nobody can deny it. Its there in black and white. But to call it for what it is, is classed as racist or islamiphobic. Its bollocks! If an christian church set up a fun run and banned women, it would be front page news for days. People on here would be calling chritian faith appalling and outdated! Yet a Muslim group does it, and were cant say anything bad as "its only one organisation"!
Its bullshit, and you know it is!

Mocking Christianity, the new normal on here. ClownAnd just to add, I have read the Bible and some of it is absolutely batshit crazy and nuts.
All religions have crazy followers. I’d class Christians who think victims of rape should be denied abortions as crazy, for example.Is it not time that people admit.they were wrong.

Yup. Many, many examples to be found.All religions have crazy followers. I’d class Christians who think victims of rape should be denied abortions as crazy, for example.
But haven't you contradicted yourself there?
That there are parts within Islam that is just crazy.
Agree.
But before that you said the Islamic faith is backwards.
Said many a time, I know and have known some lovely Muslim people.
There is a problem within Islam, but let's not make sweeping "Islam is backwards" statements.
And no-one was trying to excuse it in saying it was just one mosque. For me, I was relieved that it was just one mosque. We have had problems with individual mosques before haven't we and where they were teaching hatred.
We just have to stop tarring them all with the same brush.
"Islam is backwards" does not help.
