Islamic Society of the Niagara Peninsula

The Islamic Society of Niagara is located on the fringes of Niagara Falls just off the QEW on the way to Fort Erie/Buffalo (please see map). It's congregation is an eclectic mix of Arab, Pakistani, Turkish and other ethnic groups. Like all mosques, this one is a house of Allah and I respect it as such. However, I personally don't like the "feel" of the place. Men and women tend to mix feely at the weekly fund raising lunch after Juma prayer and the front row of the 'women's section' can literally touch the feet of the men in the back row. There is a very liberal interpretation of what constitutes hibab and the khutbas don't tend to use a lot of referances to Quran and Sunnah. With that said, what I do like aobut this mosque is that it's close to the QEW highway (the road from Toronto to Fort Erie/Buffalo - kind of a last chance masjid on the way to the good old U.S. of A.. A better alternative for those who prefer a more 'traditional' set up is Masjid Noor in St. Catherines.
