Female Imams running Mosques!
Quote:
With a mission to spread a liberal form of Islam, a mosque where men and women pray side by side has opened its doors in Berlin, complete with female imams.

But
Quote:
Police stood guard outside the entrance of the building.
The founders said they had not received any threats or insults, but that they fully expected not everyone would be happy.
Ates — who has campaigned against forced marriages, domestic violence and so-called "honour killings" among Muslim migrants — said the project was eight years in the making.
"Many left along the way," she said. "They told us it was dangerous, that they were afraid."
Elham Manea, a Swiss political scientist of Yemeni background, said the time had come for change, with other so-called liberal mosques having also opened in the United States, Britain and Switzerland.
Just as absolute power corrupts leaders, so does absolute fanaticism blind the people from logic

Man is evil, no amount of legalism can save him.

What do you expect from gays... You are exporting everything... And you failed to copy paste the statement before that: "Saleh, a lean private in the Saudi Arabian army, has come here for the Coldplay concert, and tells me Dubai is "great" for gays:"

You people have gone there and made the place evil with all manner of illegal acts...

Look at what the Canadian lady confesses to: Her husband, Daniel, bought two properties. "We were drunk on Dubai," she says. But for the first time in his life, he was beginning to mismanage their finances.

What we so often forget is that God has honored women by giving them value in relation to God—not in relation to men.

But as Western feminism erases God from the scene, there is no standard left but men. As a result, the Western feminist is forced to find her value in relation to a man. And in so doing, she has accepted a faulty assumption. She has accepted that man is the standard, and thus a woman can never be a full human being until she becomes just like a man—the standard.

When a man cut his hair short, she wanted to cut her hair short. When a man joined the army, she wanted to join the army, and so on. She wanted these things for no other reason than because the “standard” had it.

What she didn’t recognize was that God dignifies both men and women in their distinctiveness, not their sameness. And on March 18, Muslim women made the very same mistake.

For 1,400 years, there has been a consensus of scholars that men are to lead prayer.

As a Muslim woman, why does this matter? The one who leads prayer is not spiritually superior in any way. Something is not better just because a man does it. And leading Prayer is not better just because it is leading.

Had it been the role of women or had it been more divine, why wouldn’t the Prophet {SAW} have asked Lady `A’ishah or Lady Khadijah, or Lady Fatimah—the greatest women of all time—to lead? These women were promised heaven and yet they never led prayer.

But now, for the first time in 1,400 years, we look at a man leading prayer and we think, “that’s not fair.” We think so, although God has given no special privilege to the one who leads. The imam is no higher in the eyes of God than the one who prays behind him.

That's exactly the problem of your people who go to these countries and they take their evil acts with i.e. alcohol, prostitution and now gayism

As @tycho said, the only way one can one do good is by willing to know what is good and what is evil. Then constantly transform your mind through action.

Unfortunately, you as a Christian believes in simply believing. You just believe and according to you this guarantees people leaving gayism. You are following Paul: "Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law." (Romans 3:28.)

But you have ignored what Jesus said... "Why are you calling me holy? No one is good other than God alone. If you want eternal life, then follow the laws" (Luka 18:18)

And does God Himself say? "As with body without spirit is dead, is Faith without actions is dead." (Jacob 2:26)

So you prefer to follow Paul instead. And this has not helped you Christians. So many Christians today smuggle alcohol to Dubai. So many of them are agitating for gayism and alcoholism and prostitution to be legalized...

Those are your fellow Muslims engaging in gay sex. Even in your holy land of Saudia

Dude, you can be legalist but you cannot change people's hearts using the law. And the heart of the problem is always a problem of the heart.

Good needs are good, but they will not save you. Worse still, your good deeds are null if you have evil thoughts, that's the Law, the Law under Jesus whom you and Muhammad claim to follow.

And if you break just 1 point of the law, you're guilty of breaking all of it. Like when you bring lies here, you're no different from those gays

Arab world I hear is full of gays. That it's the norm.

while we respect Margret Kenyatta we don't consider her the most <insert verb here> woman because her husband is the most <insert verb here> person in kenya - right? it's a broken system!
Ruto is a hustler and a mchoraji per excellence. we don't automatically attribute the same to Rachel Ruto... Raila is the most unbwogable person in kenya... we don't say Mama Ida is the most unbwogable woman in Kenya! do we?

I beg to divert the debate on this thread slightly.

The biggest threat to theism in Kenya will not come from the AIK but the church itself.

We have always laughed at the outright frauds masquerading as church leaders. Kanyari, Helicopter and the like. But the rot goes all the way up to the mainstream churches. 3 examples below.

Two weeks ago, we were treated to the sad tragedy of top catholic leadership taking ownership of the St. Mary's hospital in Langata. They evicted the founder priest, a white father who brought in the donors who put up the hospital. At that point it sounded okay because they had a court order. But now it turns out that the court order they used that day was forged.

In my church, PCEA, the moderator is the church boss, the equivalent of a CEO. The immediate former moderator is a guy called Rev Gathanju. He is in court for theft of 40M from the church. We are not talking corruption or inflated bills or tender-preneurship, they simply transferred church money to his account. And he refused to refund even after very many requests. That's how the current church leadership decided to have him arrested. Most church properties have been attached by auctioneers. The university was a cash cow for the church leaders and currently is in a mess.

At the ACK, there was a sickening tragi-comedy in Nyeri diocese where the church leadership fired two pastors on accusations of homosexuality. The matter went to court and it later turned out, the two pastors were being targeted by the bishop for refusing to toe his line and let him eat quietly. The alleged victims later recanted and confirmed they were induced by the bishop to falsely accuse the two pastors. The drama does not end there. The high court ruled that the two pastors should be reinstated and compensated. But the top church leadership decided to side with the conniving bishop and went to the court of appeal. One wonders what is driving their fight. Because its definitely not the moral standpoint. Its purely self-preservation.

Two decades ago, it was possible for the church to project an image as the paragon of virtue. They could get away with many things. But not now, not in the information age.

We are not talking corruption or inflated bills or tender-preneurship, they simply transferred church money to his account. And he refused to refund even after very many requests. That's how the current church leadership decided to have him arrested. Most church properties have been attached by auctioneers. The university was a cash cow for the church leaders and currently is in a mess.

At the ACK, there was a sickening tragi-comedy in Nyeri diocese where the church leadership fired two pastors on accusations of homosexuality. The matter went to court and it later turned out, the two pastors were being targeted by the bishop for refusing to toe his line and let him eat quietly. The alleged victims later recanted and confirmed they were induced by the bishop to falsely accuse the two pastors. The drama does not end there. The high court ruled that the two pastors should be reinstated and compensated. But the top church leadership decided to side with the conniving bishop and went to the court of appeal. One wonders what is driving their fight. Because its definitely not the moral standpoint. Its purely self-preservation.

Two decades ago, it was possible for the church to project an image as the paragon of virtue. They could get away with many things. But not now, not in the information age.

Wewe atheist kumbuka pia Yesu alifanya kazi na Judas na huyo Judas alikuwa mweka hazina ambaye aliiba fedha hizo
