Although the story is a couple of years old but it is still quite relevant. NPR has a feature on female Imams in China. (Thanks to P.I.H for pointing this out) We have also did a feature on Nu Ahongs (Female Imams) on our sister site (http://islaminchina.info/) a couple of years ago.
imaam or teacher?
Salam Alaykum,
Even though some things are questionable according to the video and the audio, but I was afraid that the women were leading men in the Masajids, but from what I see this is not what is happening.
An atheist government controlling who becomes licensed as an imam… makes no sense at all because an imam leads prayer.
