Rating: 3.3 |
Description: The Muslim Community Center (MCC) in Silver Spring, Maryland serves thousands of families in the Maryland, Virginia, and Washington, DC areas. The Muslim Community Center was conceived in September, 1976 and opened in May, 1981, and has since grown to become a nationally recognized Islamic center. The MCC has become prominent by offering services and programs for the benefit of the community at large. The Center is a volunteer-managed, non-profit, church-exempt organization established under the laws of the State of Maryland. While the area Muslim population utilizes most of its services, the MCC organization is dedicated to serving all human beings, irrespective of faith, color, origin, and creed. The MCC organization is community-supported and does not accept string-attached funding from special interest groups, foreign governments, or political parties. |

 It's ok. It use to be better before the the nationalistic issues were brought into play. It use to be much more diverse. Over time certain groups of people moved into the community and became the majority and push the agendas of there nationa and tribe which i guess is human nature. It's just that it makes other people feel they aren't particularly welcome. It is a nice masjid and the didnt always have the sisters blocked off. If wouldn't be that big of a deal if they had a tv up or something during Ramadhan so the sisters can follow the prayers better. They have plenty of parking and right off a major road.

Yes, there is a barrier, and most of the time it forms a little square, maybe 20'X20', in the corner of the grand prayer hall, and there is also a basement where the women with little kids tend to go. I remember the first time I saw the actual men's prayer area, I thought, wow, this place is much nicer than I thought! - MCC is a great community masjid and since 9/11 has expanded its community outreach with programs like a free clinic, interfaith dialogues, etc. HOWEVER. They have also, in the past, shut the doors on other Muslim groups because of differences of Islamic understanding (yet they open doors to people of other faiths?). And sometimes the "We Are Democratic, Moderate Muslims" bit just goes too far. Because of that in particular this is not my masjid of choice in the DC metro area...

I recall the times I've been here that the women's prayer area IS behind a barrier.
