Why don't Muslims allow women into Mosques for prayers?

Doesn't Allah love Muslim women and need them to pray too?

    Women are allowed to pray in mosques, which idiot told you their not but they are allowed to pray at home, so she can get on with running the house i.e. do shopping.

    Before you come here trying to be little Islam read what your bible says about women in Church.

    OK you can answer this, why aren't Christian women allowed to speak in Church? (1st Corinthians 11:3-12)

    In church women must cover their head, becuase they were made in the image of man, while man was made in the image of God? (1st Corinthians 11:33)

    Why don't women have the authority to teach men and why do they have brith pains agian (1st Timothy 2:11).

    Muslim women are allowed to go and pray in mosques, only in certain groups dont allow women to pray in mosques,

    Islam has never prohibited woman to pray in mosques, please quote on the matter provided with evidence that they are not allowed if you just think so, dont consider it so

    Women are allowed.

    I wonder how people get such weird ideas?

    One must form an opinion about Islam basing on the actions of a few individuals, or gossip, or media projection, or hear-say, but rather one must research and only then form an opinion.

    it is not true ...

    Women can pray in Mosque....there s no rule that women can not pray in the Mosque....But only one rule is that women can not stand with men during pray....

    generally Mosques have second floor/part or divided room and these are for women to pray.....

    They do allow women into Mosques... but, males and females are separated in different quarters.

    This is to keep "un-clean" thoughts at bay... e.g. in case a man sees a beautiful woman and has "sinful" thoughts. This separation in terms of praying quarters helps to prevent stuff like that, etc, etc. You get the picture!

    A woman gets her greatest credit for praying at home.

    that's not true! one or two mosques in London do so because of the size of the mosque which is stupidity and against the teachings of Islam. this doesn't happen world wide.
