[PoisedWoman]

In the mosques that do allow women, they have to enter through a different entrance than the men do.

Even in secular Turkey(a Muslim but not Arabic country), Muslim women were confined to a small room at the back of the Mosque to pray, while the men got the run of the place. In gambling casinos, however, Turkish women were shoulder-to-shoulder with the men at the gaming tables. Go figure.

is this based on personal observation or heresay? I admit to knowing little about Turkey.
