RE: Women Fights for Equality in W.VA Mosque

Hi Kate et al,

I thought it was awesome the way she and her dad stood up. "An unjust law 
is no law at all!" Do you know, of the folks who surrounded her when she 
was being civilly disobedient, if the two praying behind her we're kinda 
being like her stability . . . saying sort of "We'll back you up silently 
but visually and spiritually with our prayers and our stubborn blocking 
physical presence."?

I wanted to write to the mosque and say as a muslim male that I stand in 
solidarity with Ms' Nomani. If anyone knows their address, let me know and 
I'll still do so over snail mail or email.

Thanks for passing it along!

PS: I really know what Ms. Manji means when she says that she's holding on 
by a thread but this muslim takes hope in the story of the Nomani's of 
Morgantown.

Inspired,
Moo  :)
