Well if he went without seeking permission of the trust, then serves him right. It is our sacred place sfterall. We all have temples in our house and still most of us keep it sacred. I remember my grandparents will not allow outsiders to that area and not even in the kitchen.

Umm.. yeah.. so i wasn't also allowed in the kitchen at my grandparents house..🤔😆

Personally, I think all places of worship should be open to the public. Faith and worship isn't a privilege only given to a few. Having said that, I also think that those who don't belong to the faith should also respect and abide by the rules of that sanctuary. There's nothing wrong with asking permission or ensuring that entry is allowed on the part of the stranger. And similarly, for those who belong to the faith, should also realize that people may be curious, interested, or perhaps simply wanting to observe the traditions of a particular religion. And there is nothing wrong with allowing them to enter their religious grounds.

I have friends who will come to mosques and take off their shoes and cover their heads like everyone else. I have gone with friends to Hindu temples where I will cover my head, take my shoes off, and respect their traditions. I have been to churches where I will ask them if its okay to come in and look around. If you're wondering why - I absolutely love architecture. And some of the most beautiful architectural creations are places of worship.

Just to clarify a point, mosques actually allow[s?] women. But the women are made to pray in a corner unlike the men, who takes over the whole mosque. The place where women pray is covered heavily with drapes and all (so that men's eyes do not reach them, lest they commit a sin). (Take it from someone who frequents mosques almost every week).
Reason given is that since visiting/going to the mosque isn't compulsory for the women as it is for the men, women seldom goes to mosques, as such, men are given more spaces unlike women.

Personally, mosques or any other place of worship can be a great way of socialization for people. As such, I feel these things need to be reformed. But can you actually change things that were practiced for over a thousand years?

Absolutely. In the US, we have mosques that not only accommodate women, they are partitioned in a way to make the ladies' area larger since a lot of kids end up there as well. Point is, even places of worship are designed to adapt to lifestyles, which vary from nation to nation. Also, socializing probably ranks hire on the list for some of these folks than worship does. 😆

@red- Its not lack of self control, its temptation. And you're just mad at women having to pray in a corner because you don't get to check out their butts when they go into a sajda. Unlike us, where the guys are in front of us and in full view. 😛 ----- just kidding. I'm in such a silly mood. That was totally uncalled for, but I refuse to delete it. Regardless of whether you admit it or not, I know you laughed. 😆😆
