Ladies of learning
The training of 200 women preachers in Dubai is extremely encouraging and significant news.
DUBAI — More than 200 women preachers have attended a two-day training course in preaching. Organised by the Dubai Department of Islamic Affairs and Charitable Activities, in coordination with Manahil Al Khair Islamic Organisation, the course was aimed at enhancing the performance of the women preachers to spread Islamic teachings.
A similar move is underway in Morocco, where the Mourchidat are considered to be crucial in the fight against extremism. There is excellent precedent for this in Islam. The prophet's wife Aisha is considered to be one of the first and most important scholars of Islam, who taught both men and women about the prophet's life and words.

You might want to add an "(RA)" suffix when referring to any companion of the Prophet (SAWS). It means "may God be pleased with her" and is supposed and is used by all Islamic sects.
Nice of you to state her btw.
Nothing new! Its been going on for ages!
I wonder what they will Teach to men?
hey man; please serv your women in bed with break fast!
and cook for her!
I think that this is a wise step taken by the rulers of this country, it scares me a bit when UAE is a country laid right next to IRAN, IRAQ, SAUDI, people from everywhere are here, with so many cultural backgrounds and believes, so many strange ideas might spread among the youth and young of this country! And being a country that hosts so many, you just can not have extremists preaching!
I feel good about it

Congrats SD!
So what are you planning to splurge on with your 75 Dhs prize money?
Also, I hope this extra publicity and the risk of greater government scrutiny doesn't castrate your blog posts. :)
Congrats on the award!
This is encouraging news indeed, and definitely about time. In sweden we have had major discussions whether or not one can call a woman an imam or not. Some misinformed men believe it is wrong, and some of us are arguing for the opposite. But things are changing slowly slowly.
I voted for you. Now publish my press release!
