Jamida Beevi created history by becoming the first Indian Muslim woman to lead the Friday prayer for a mixed-gender congregation at a public place. The 34-year-old led around 30 men and women in namaaz inside a hall at Vandoor village in Kerala’s Malappuram district.

The person who leads namaaz is called imam and, traditionally, he is a man, unless it is an all-woman congregation. The first woman to break this tradition, in recent memory at least, was Amina Wadud, an American professor of religion and philosophy, who led the Friday prayer in New York in 2005.

But while Wadud was hailed as a revolutionary, Beevi has not received much support.

The decision to organise a Friday prayer led by a woman was taken on January 23 at the state committee meeting of her faction of the Khuran Sunnath Society.

“We wanted to spread the message that Islam never prohibited women from leading prayers,” Beevi said. “We have decided to continue this practice.”

Beevi hopes her decision “will inspire more Muslim women to preside over prayers”.

I'm not a Muslim but I will defend them today. Not for the death threats but for the shear hypocrisy of Christians especially Catholics. Catholics, do you have a female priest? Let alone a female priest leading a mass. Talk to you hypocrites.

Islam doesn't recognize feminism or whatever rubbish they call it.

The men with c.ocks are the head and it must remain so

Exactly. But Pentecostals say Catholics aren't Christians but idol worshippers , while Catholics condemn Pentecostalism as heresy. Since both cannot be right at the same time, who then is a Christian?
