1st Women’s Only Mosque in Denmark

TEHRAN (IQNA) – Denmark and Scandinavia’s first mosque exclusively for women has opened up in Copenhagen.

The mosque has been named the Mariam Mosque, according to Politiken newspaper.

Some point to the new mosque as a positive modernization, but the Danish Islamic Center (DIC) is less enthusiastic.

"They can do as they please, but their theological starting point is wrong,” said Waseem Hussein, the head of DIC.

"Why is there a need for a mosque for just women? Shall we build a mosque for men only too? The Danish people would go ballistic if we did.”

The location of the Mariam Mosque in Copenhagen is currently a secret because the women behind the project fear reprisals.
