#2 I'm surprised to read "West Virginia" and "mosque" in the same sentence. I just can't envision it. Guess I'm out of touch.

(And before the smart remarks start, no, I'm not from New York. I grew up about 20 miles from the West Virginia border, and had relatives there. Beautiful, mountainous, very rural state. But mosques?)

#4 Why would this surprise anyone? It is but one of the many reasons that islam does indeed suck. It is not a religion of peace. It is a religion of submission and servitude. It could be a religion of peace, if it underwent a reformation. Until then, it is not much more than a bloody death cult.

#5 "a mosque that asks women to enter by a side door"

Unless there is a Unitarian version of Islam, I believe that ALL moskks REQUIRE wymyn to enter via a separate, usually obscure, door. The ornate grand entrance is reserved for the myn.

#6 This is the sort of action I want to see from American Muslims as the ROP is infiltrated by freedom and democracy. (Hey! It could happen!)

Kudos to this woman for standing up to these divisive gendermongering creeps (ok, I made up that word - gendermongering. Humor me, ok?). If she wins, we win. May she succeed and prosper.

#10 Good question, SH, everything else in WVA is, but I believe in this case it's a question of separation of church mosque and state KKK.
