'Little Mosque on the prairies' SHOULD BE BANNED!

Yup.. I've changed my mind!!.. I don't like that show anymore.. After watching the second episode or third?... there were some pretty NASTY STUFF . thus I have decided it ain't worth watchin anymore!....

My decision was also based on another issue..

Today a documentary called 'Me and the Mosque' aired on CBC. I have seen this documentary before and commented on it a while back, which can be found here to refresh your mind.

Even though I watched parts of this documentary for the second time, it drove the same type of anger and frustration as when I watched it the first time. But after watching this documentary, I went to the CBC site, THE LENS, to investigate who created this documentary .. and to my surprise: Zarqa Nawaz, who also created "Little Mosque on the Prairies", developed this documentary called "Me and the Mosque'

Basically in this documentary, she tried to convey to her viewers that the barrier or RATHER PARTITION, makes a woman feel oppressed, isolated, or in simpler terms feel LIKE TRASH!..

She went around to different mosques, showing the different types of partitions used. Some mosques had the most beautifully looking separators, which were elegantly designed, others had glass walls (SEE-THROUGH, DUH!!). In turn, NO MATTER what type of partition, she still felt they were not welcoming women and that women were in some sort of a jail.

She interviewed many people, but I personally felt this documentary was very much biased.. It basically was based on proving herself RIGHT and showing that there is a MAJOR MAJOR PROBLEM!! When she interviewed people from the opposite side, she did not give them a FAIR CHANCE OF SPEAKING themselves out.. At one point a muslim man was trying to explain how we cannot compare ourselves to the muslims/sahabahs of the past.. and she CLEARLY cut him TOTALLY OFF by repeating his statement as a question which seemed as a rhetorical question to the viewers...how fair was that??!!

She also showed parts of a real DEBATE on this topic. Even though this was called a 'debate' she didn't hesitate at ALL to cut her opponents loose!

There was also one woman and her mother who actually fought against the partition issue to the point of bringing in ISNA, so that they could peacefully be allowed to pray right behind the men.. Even though that was accomplished, her mother said she doesn't feel welcome into the mosque and she does not get enough 'ACKNOWLEDGEMENT' from the men.. My question to her is: how much ACKNOWLEDGEMENT do you want or rather 'need', when your main aim is to enter the Mosque to pray to Allah swt!!

This woman made this documentary sooo sooo emotional by adding soft music as effects. I felt she was portraying the wrong image to the non-muslims that women are TOTALLY OPPRESSED IN ISLAM - which is NOT TRUE.. This topic is known to be one of the MOST MISUNDERSTOOD topic by non-muslims.. Basically she isn't making our DAWAH any easier!!

OVERALL, I felt she over exaggerated the idea of partitions to the point where it made me feel SICK!. I personally think she totally MISSED the wisdom behind having these partitions...

Us muslims today, DO NOT have the same fear of Allah and Iman as the muslims of the past.

Keeping in mind the main aim of Muslims when they enter the masjid and based on the known facts about the nature of men and women, wouldn't you think the partitions would act as an aid for BOTH men and women in order so they can concentrate better in their salah?....

well I THOUGHT SO!!!
