That's right dammit!
Muslim women defy hardliners to offer Eid namaz
'Namaz' means 'prayer' in the Indian subcontinent. Apparently, the "religious leaders" in this village told the ladies that they couldn't perform Eid prayer... When they did research on their own, the ladies discovered that this is totally bogus and Islam supports their right to pray in public for Eid. So they went ahead and did it anyway. Who put those jerks in charge, anyhow??
KOLKATA: In open defiance against religious hardliners, over 100 Muslim women in a West Bengal village offered Eid namaz.
Muslim women of Nimra village at Nanur in Birbhum district, about 150 km from here, had sought permission from the religious leaders to offer Eid namaz at the local mosque on Friday.
When their request was turned down, the women hired a school hall and went ahead with offering namaz, reports here on Saturday said.
