Open mosque
Taj Hargey challenges Muslim clergy over interfaith marriage
The Open Mosque hosted its first interfaith marriage between a Muslim woman and Christian man.
The event aims to improve relations between Christians and Muslims in Cape Town.
The mosque has been widely criticised for its alternative views on the Muslim religion.
The police say they are investigating but no one was injured and no arrests have been made yet.
Open Mosque founder, Taj Hargey, says vandals torched the building in the early hours of this morning.
Taj Hargey describes the facility as South Africa's first Quran-centric, gender-equal house of God.
Taj Hargey says his critics are behind efforts to shut down the ‘open mosque’ in Cape Town.
A city councillor says the newly-established mosque hasn't complied with zoning requirements.
The newly opened mosque is facing a lot of criticism from the Muslin community in Cape Town.
Taj Hargey said his aim is to create religious transformation, especially in a democratic South Africa.
The mosque welcomes gay people and non-Muslims and will also allow women to lead prayers.
The Muslim Judicial Council says religious views shouldn't be enforced on anyone.
Taj Hargey says he's merely trying to dispel “the man-made lies” around Islam.
Taj Hargey has slammed Muslim clerics saying their rules are chauvinistic & not in line with the 21st century.
