First female-run mosque opens in Denmark
Denmark's Mariam mosque has started Friday prayers this week led by two female imams, marking the official​ opening of the first female-led mosque in the country. The mosque aims to confront “patriarchal interpretations” of the Qur’an, challenge Islamophobia and encourage progressive Islamic values. Interestingly, China has​ had female-run mosques since the 19th century.
