I just want to know what parts of the Mosque she entered and based on that, how was she given rights they don’t normally afford women in terms of what areas they can go into?

Many years ago, long before 9/11, I toured a mosque in Istanbul. As I recall, we tourists were allowed into the main worship area. We did have to remove our shoes and bare shoulders had to be covered (they issued what looked like those paper gowns you get in the doctor’s office). Otherwise, I don’t recall any restrictions.

Since there are different Muslim sects and given the way things are after 9/11, there may be different rules regarding tours by us infidels.
