Know What I Mean?

Rats! No national news tonight because of some local fire. All three 'network stations' are covering it. Too bad at least one of them didn't have the good sense to put on some national news instead. I did find the fire interesting, for about ten seconds.
So I am stuck with no new notes. Luckily I did some research on Google today. I was interested in the Koran's description of Heaven. I found only a brief reference to a 'palace' with 70 virgins, each of whom had her very own private room. It must have been a reference to the Muslim male paradise. I was left wondering whether Muslim women ever went to heaven.
I was also interested in 'Mosque etiquette.' Having never seen video of muslim women doing the 'bow down,' I wondered whether they were even allowed to pray at the Mosque. I admit that my research was very sketchy due to time constraints, but it seemed to me that Muslim women were not allowed inside Mosques to pray. Did I get that right? Some further research seemed to indicate that that state of affairs is under reconsideration in Western Cultures, and that women are, or soon will be, able to pray alongside men if they are, as a group, separated by 'an aisle.'
I suppose the purpose of this separation is to discourage 'tardy prostrations.' You know what I mean?
