In fact one could say where are the Muslims, since these ladies are Ahmadiyya Muslims, which are not classed as real Muslims by many mainstream Muslims.

Not sure whether that was Freudian AOG. Gester for Gesture.

Gester def.
A malevolent being bent on corruption and mischief, excelling in corrupting youth and small animals

A very nice/respectful gesture from these ladies, I don't suppose you could just accept the goodness of these ladies without making an issue out of it?

[anotheoldgit]

The disadvantages of predictive text.

Just making a point, don't we all make an issue out of things, in the very act of putting a item up for debate?

[pastafreak]

Like anne said...a lovely gesture and solidarity from these women.
Shame it can't just be accepted as that...without always expressing negativity about something/anything.

[anneasquith]

Just what is you're point AOG ?

[Jackdaw33]

I do not find predictive text an acceptable excuse. Switch it off; I have never needed it, far more a hindrance than a help.

It was a woman's event,
the men may be across or further down the road or they may be at home looking after the kids or they could be working

[RATTER15]

A vile and disgusting religion but great respect for these women that have the balls to stand up against what happened there!!!

[emmie]

a nice gesture, not sure where the men are though.

[anneasquith]

A genuine post RATTER. Hi.

[anneasquith]

Emmie, why are you bothered where the men are ?

[pastafreak]

It shouldn't matter whether it's all women, all men, or a mixed group. What is important is the support they are expressing.

Why is it one has to explain things to certain ABers when others can see by the very headline it is about the missing men and also the proper Muslims, as it seems that Ahmadiyya Muslims are not classed as 'proper' Muslims by some members of their faith.

If my memory serves me right, wasn't a Muslim shopkeeper once killed because he wasn't a proper Muslim?

So...the OP asked....." Where ARE the men?" which in my opinion has still not been answered.
To me this is a rather sick PR stunt...exhibitionism....which will certainly not give the widow of the killed policeman much solace.
In Islam, the women mean very little as shown by this ill conceived "demonstration."

[steg]

Sectarianism in Glasgow ??? Well I never

[sp1814]

There aren't that many people on the bridge in total.

Perhaps the blokes are at work, or at home looking after the kids?

[anneasquith]

In truth AOG it's just another anti Muslim thread from you, same old same old .

[sp1814]

Sqad

Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

No Muslims show up to show solidarity = 'They don't care, and secretly support terrorists'

Muslims turn up = 'Sick exhibitionists'

Lord!
