Seperation of men & women

[Ismail87]

I went to one of those. Lo and behold, the Berlin Wall was right there in the middle between men and women. Felt like going all Reagan in that event...

There is nothing more annoying than going to a muslim/Somali event and being separated from family members cuz of some dumb dogma.

ughhh i hate that so much..ive stopped going to somali events/ weddings because most of my family members are men and its so awkward having to go to a different corner of the room or them not being able to come to certain events because their men. I've been to my ajnabi friends wedding and it literally is soo much fun! there were some hijabies but even they were having fun. its so primitive and stupid to have to separate people becouse you assume their going to eye fuck you from the other corner.

This has become the dominant culture......I reckon most folks don't really support it, but go along because of what others may say.
When you visit Somali homes.....they're mostly unsegregated...so what's the big deal?

Nothing is as before. Even the food sucks.

The funny thing is that even though they claim that men are not welcome in the female sections, there are always men shooting videos.

The thing is, most people don't even care or necessarily agree with it, but like you said just go along with it because it's the norm. And that's unfortunate.

the beauty of Islam is that men and women who act according to Islam are protected from even coming close to sinful behavior. I'm not sying that two strangers, after short conversation at a wedding will immediately senselessly involve themselves in non-halal relationship but if it can be avoided by a simple act of separating the sexes then its a good a thing. Will this stop you if you were going to unlawful things? No but does it help slightly? yes.

i know the concept of separating sexes seem repugnant to you liberals and perhaps non practicing Muslims (kts). But if I was a Muslim dad with daughters I wouldn't want some fast talking, number hustling prick sitting next to my daughter and leading her stray like I myself have done many times. So I'm ok with gender segregation in social settings, its part of Islam and it can guide us to a better healthier path.

still i dont understand what guys do in weddings? i understand the meher ceremony which is striclly for men only in masjid, court or home.

also not segragation itself but the occassion. i went sharia college and we always had girls in our classroom. we had very few, some classes only one girl in whole 60+ studant male studants. no one seems to complain about it. you cannot avoid, women are human, they are in class roomes and work places. as long you lower your gaze and be modest. people should take responsibility of their self.

one knows themselves the best, if ones cannot control, then asolate them self!

If your daughter is interacting with non Muslim males at school, work and likely at every imaginable private and public setting...why in the heavens would you want to segregate her from a Muslim man during a community event where family and friends are present?

[1nemansquad]

Geo, assuming that my daughters will be interacting with non-Muslims..

[Octavius]

Well said Geo, and if he does not trust his daughter to sit near strangers because she might take their number and later meet up with them for 'unlawful activities', then perhaps she was not well brought up to begin with and he should have done a better job of bringing her up and instilling in her Islamic values.

So you believe in seperate classes/office/shops/restaurants/busses/carriages for men and women?

If women are modestly dressedand covered up, and it is a public gathering/space where two individuals are not left alone, then what is the issue?

[YummyMummy]

I have a different stance on this, not necessarily Muslim male or non-Muslim male related.
Of course there are times when you have to interact with members of the opposite gender anyway, e.g. at work or as pupils in school (or if in a single-sex school, some teachers may be male). Even then you can reduce the amount of to talk to the bare functional minimum. Also, at times it is best to avoid distraction away from the focus of the event, e.g. at a muxaadaro (Islamic talk) - focus on the talk, no time for eye shukaansi.

I agree to the concept. Laakin like everything else in life, there's a rule book and then there are your choices. You can choose to follow it or not, e.g. those who are not comfortable with this may choose to do a mixed wedding, that's their prerogative. The opposite is the choice of those who agree to it, and that's theirs. Neither should attack the other for their choices.

[1nemansquad]

its annoying and conversation stopper when the individual who started the discussion goes off the rails. I'm addressing a specific social setting which I believe is what you started this topic on...

schools, busses, shops, restaurants? wth are you talking about?

you tell me what your issue is apart from it offends your bloody sensibility..

[AbdiJohnson]

1nemansquad,

Perhaps you should go live at the Islamic State if you have such views. Your views are not welcome outside of the IS and Saudi Arabia.

1nemansquad has had sex as a youth numerous times but now wants to preach about segregation. People like 1nemansquad are hypocrites and should be ignored. When he gets older and has a child and has his sexual fun in his youth and got older, he wants to restrict different sexes from gathering together and talking.

How hypocritical can you be. He says "you liberals find separation of sexes to be repugnant". Lool.

I am,
