It was shocking to see how members brought religion into the topic and said As Muslim one must distance oneself from other religion...sorry but every religion first teaches you to be respectful towards other religion and that includes showing your reverence to God in all forms...and I plainly refuse to believe that a popular religion as Islam can promote such beliefs...sorry!! I strongly feel that there are certain things even in religion which can be manipulated politically...and thats true for all beliefs...
If you dont want to participate in other festivities and think they will take you away from your religion...its your narrow mentality...do not blame it on your religion...pls!!!
If someone does not participate its fine but bringing religion into it is highly offensive...
Islam also teaches many other things right, it does not ask you to do item numbers or wear skimpy clothes but Gauhar does all that...where does her beliefs or her reverence to Allah go then???
And yes god does not get offended by lack of CAPS LOCK..so pls dont such promote such beliefs...
P.S: I m proud that my religion teaches me to be liberal and respect all other religions...And I m sure your religion does that too...so just dont write such things which would give it a bad name...
*No Offence to any sect but highly offended by the way members brought the religion thing!!!*
