Muslims Gather In Birmingham To Celebrate The End Of Ramadan.

[anotheoldgit]

/// Over 100,000 people from five different mosques gathered together for the outdoor Eid salah – the largest Eid celebration in Europe. ///

That is 20,000 from each Mosque, could that be true?

Women are not allowed to join certain golf clubs

Either you or I should go to spec savers, this is what I read:

/// What a wonderful sight...all those men praying together...beautiful. ///

Perhaps you would care to supply proof of what you though he said?
Who is jmt by the way?





/// What a wonderful sight...all those men praying together...beautiful. ///

Thing is.. if a man starts a "no females allowed club" he has every right to deny a female from joining.

What choice does the woman have? Start her own club.

/// ANOTHEOLDGIT, is it likely that migrants on the continent would be aware of an upcomming Birmingham event celebrating the end of Ramzan? ///

Well I am sure that if some are coming from all corners of the Globe, I am sure they would have been aware of it much closer to home, such as Europe.

In fact I believe that they are aware of the Islamic terrorist attacks that we have witnessed.

There are plenty of 'only female sessions' at swimming baths.

// What a wonderful sight...all those men praying together...beautiful. //

well I have never heard that said about the Pope celcbraiting mass in St Peters Sq
oops sozza that is because it has never been said ....

oh well - - -

[ummmm]

AOG, that's not segregation though, many women are not comfortable half naked in front on men.

[spathiphyllum]

"There are plenty of 'only female sessions' at swimming baths."

Exactly AOG, and if men had a problem, they could start men only swimming lessons, or go to available unisex lessons.

[THECORBYLOON]

ANOTHEOLDGIT, do you really think that migrants in France were thinking, "Better get over to Birmingham smartish to celebrate the end of Ramzan"?

You come up with a right load of old tosh.

[spathiphyllum]

Why not, Ummm?

[Calibax]

Eid Mubarak!

[spathiphyllum]

Khair Mubarak!

[Calibax]

:o)

// That is 20,000 from each Mosque, could that be true? // the difficulty AOG is that the mosque does not stand in the same position in a community
as the church does in a christian community

(and they dont have a hierarchy either)

/// ANOTHEOLDGIT, do you really think that migrants in France were thinking, "Better get over to Birmingham smartish to celebrate the end of Ramzan"?

You seem to be another one that can't spot sarcasm when you read it.

You asked:

/// Why would folk need a special visa to come to the UK to celebrate Eid? ///

And I sarcastically replied:

Oh so they all come in the usual way then? That is in the backs of lorries or in rubber dingies across the Channel?

It is you and not I who comes up with a right load of old tosh on a regular basis.

//I hope they all enjoy the time spent with their friends and family .//

As Talbot suggests, it seems they have few, if any, female friends or relatives.

/Need to clean your glasses Talbot as I see females there!//

I took quite a large “snip” from the first photograph in the report which included the first six or seven rows. I blew it up to 400%. It’s not entirely easy to tell the sex of some of the individuals because of the way they dress, though the headgear is a good giveaway. I found very few – and certainly not the 50%-ish that you would expect of normal celebratory gatherings – that I could positively say were female. The fifth photo shows a row of eight or nine females at the front of the shot (out of a total of perhaps a couple of hundred). Some of the photos show a few individuals who are females. From the photos in the report it seems a fairly good bet to say that more than 95% (and more than that if I was “spread” betting) of the crowd were males.

//Why are so many abers obsessed with who stand where and with whom, each religion has different traditions, Or is this just a wee dig at Muslims for the sake of it//

I’m not obsessed with who stands where and this is not a dig for the sake of it. People in this country need to understand that Islam is a religion devised and controlled by men, for men. Women come a very poor second. This event demonstrates just that. The overwhelming majority of those attending.are men. It could be, of course, that Muslim women have better sense than to go to the local park and kneel on the ground with their backsides in the air. But I doubt it. Islam has no place in a country that is supposed to be striving for tolerance, equality and fairness. I don’t know how anybody who subscribes to the UK’s values – least of all women – can defend it.

//loads Coming in from outside the city, we do a good multi cultural event in brum//

How on Earth do you consider this event to be “multicultural”, rowan? It is about as monocultural as it gets.

Backtracking, ANOTHEOLDGIT?

[bainbrig]

Shocking, isn't it, that on a day when so many are celebrating D-Day, remembering the way our young people (of all faiths) threw themselves against the iron wall of Nazism, that ano the old git and his ilk should be up to their usual tricks, trying (and hopefully) failing to stir up racial hatred.

In memory of the thousands who died.
