Impressions from attending a mosque for the first time

Telstra said:
I'm curious about "worship no one but god"

When people go to a place of worship, they are basically worshiping the place, worshiping the building with the crowd in it.
They don't worship god at all.

When people go to a place of worship, they are GATHERING in the building and worshipping their God together, not the building.

Sheesh!

Speak for yourself! I go for the architecture! What would cathedrals be without Antoni Gaudi!

And what of art museum patrons? They aren't there to focus on the artworks, but to worship the building.


Sigh.

I definitely like Moshe Safdie's National Gallery of Canada much more than the Rothko that hangs inside it.
 
I will admit to being blown away by the levels of detail in the Sagrada de Familia in Barcelona on my Euro 2012 tour; likewise St Peter's Basilica. And watching the Marathon at the London Olympics from outside St Paul's lent that particular cathedral a different sort of air to what it usually is given.

It's fun to think we could have run into each other in space if not in time. I was there in London 6 years before you apparently.

Be careful about visiting this one. They're knifing each today.

I noticed the segregation. It is more a matter of mentioning how women allow themselves to be treated.

The suffragette movement in the U.S. was homegrown, not imported.

When Muslim women fight for their rights, they will have them.

110 years ago, my great-great-great grandfather (former Lord Mayor of a major English city) died. When his obituary mentioned his widow not by name, but by her being descended from a prominent mill owner, it told the tale. I won't look on my ancestors with contempt, and I won't look on Muslims that way either. We all have to evolve as cultures. None of us has arrived.

Muslims treat women the same way in the USA and other western countries. It's not a religion or a way of life to be admired or ignored.

We had a Saudi client who was not allowed to do anything without her husband's permission. When she came into the office, her husband had to be with her. We could not speak to her directly, but ask the questions to her husband. I can't be certain the last bit was true because his English was better.
 
My interactions with Muslim men have informed me that Muslim women have much more influence on men than appearances might suggest...never be persuaded by appearances...reminding me of Irish wisdom....when the man of the house, clearly states he is the head of the family, for his wife permits him....never, underestimate the power behind the throne.

^Lucretia Borgia could turn a few heads...and end a few lives....when her anger took control....beware of the power behind the throne.

Ambaro Maxamed, 24, Ayan Maxamed, 28, and Hibo Maxamed, 24, and their 28-year-old cousin Ifrah Nur screamed "Kill the white slag" while kicking her in the head as she lay motionless on the ground.

Human life can be cruel, vicious, and inhumane.....cruelty is never the result of our birth place, colour of ones skin, gender, or religion, or race, or sexual orientation, or ethnicity...thankfully, few human beings manifest such inhumane behaviour.
 
^Aryan Germans wearing brown shirts did exactly the same thing way back in the 1930s, and 1940s helping us appreciate that there are human beings who can act in an inhumane manner.......what else is new in Oz?
