I dont know if this was discussed already In my absence.
I remember seing an article in the New York Times a few weeks back, on Prof. Amina Wadud that totally caught me off guard. Although I knew Wadud to always spearhead progressive causes, I have to admit that leading a prayer congregation made up of both sexes was purely rock and roll !!! 8). Even for the VCU associate professor. but then as the locals say "Only in New York".
what was'nt so unexpected a reaction thogh was; Yusuf Qurdawi's edict. ofcourse candaming the act. and come to think about it, we do need to cut the sheikh some slacks after all he couldnt just sit and watch it happen. What then would the "Brotherhood" think?.
On a serious tip though guys; let us hear some opinions on muslim women leading Salats.
Peace One
