RE: Fw: geography question

salaam sofia, charity

firstly, very few people in South Africa has heard of Jim 
Crow. :)

Secondly, yes Charity, you could just do it. The mosques 
are pretty full (with men) for jumu'ah so you wont be able 
to get easily unless you went early. Or, you could do 
what shamima, my wife, did at one of those Sandton 
(Marlboro actually) mosques one jumuah. She had 
gotten a lift with a guy who decided to stop there for 
jumuah, not caring about her needs. So she just went 
and prayed in the garden of the masjid. Apparently, it 
was a nice feeling praying in the garden. but also, lots of 
embarassed male faces.

Or you could come to Joburg.
