New Liberal Mosque Set Up in Berlin

Ibn Rushd Mosque is being set up in Germany, spearheaded by Seyran Ates, a Turkish-born German Muslim woman. There'll be two imams leading Friday prayers, one man and one woman. They've also reached out to Imam Ludovic-Mohamed Zahed, a fairly prominent figure in the pro-LGBT progressive Muslim sphere.

This is one of a growing number of such mosques to be found in the Western world, where it is safe for them to be set up openly. They are building on grassroots groups which meet informally for prayers etc, such as Imaan in the UK and these kinds of people.

Just evidence - if you know

Your original sentence doesn't make sense.

"think it's a misunderstanding of you
Give me evidence of religion"

"Evidence of religion"? What do you mean here? Evidence of Islam? That Islam exists? That Islam is a religion? Evidence that violence is a part of Islam?

The people frequenting this mosque would respond similarly regarding homophobia and gender segregation as you would regarding violence.

The highlited part is the real money quote. Oddly, it would not be safe for them to try to setup virtually anywhere in the "Muslim world". Ironic, no?

I didn't want to oversell it.
Sadly, it doesn't really mean anything originating in the "western world" but simply serves to underscore the deep-seated hatreds prevalent in the "Muslim world" where this would be quite impossible.

Name me just one religion and one follower that actually fully follows their religion without "picking and choosing?"
