I'm somewhat agn...Salaams & Ramadan mubarak<br />I'm somewhat agnostic on the issue of female imams. I'm not convineced that this particular gendered role is inherently misogynistic, but I'm very passionate about the critical importance of female khateebs; the former perform a function, whereas the latter lead the community.<br /><br />I think Amina Wadud's treatment and demonization in the broader community were scandalously ignorant and unfair. Contrary to the smears, she's a serious scholar, and from I've seen she raises legitimate issues in a scholarly manner.svendhttp://akramsrazor.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.com
