No one was portraying anything. It was an honest mistake. It's not like Veena and the celebs did a skit. that I would understand. They were NOT purposely making fun of anything.
Someone played a qawali in the background that was religious, yes, and these celebs, honestly, didn't even look like they were listening to it. They were doing their own thing. They were doing rasams, joota chupayi that we all do. It was an HONEST mistake and I hate it when people try to make such a big hoopla over mazhab. Abbe, first follows he FIRST THINGS that Islam teaches you, which is respect, tolerance, and most of all, how to be good and kind to one another. But no, who cares about those things right? Let's just pick up the pitchforks and lynch the damn folks that DARE make mistakes. Because it's OUR RIGHT and OUR RESPONSIBILITY to judge who is a good muslim and who committed blasphemy.
I'm a Muslim too btw, but I also would like to emphasize that there are a lot of things Islam teaches, good things, that people just kinda overlook. Why is it, that whenever its time to punish someone, or criticize someone, people all of a sudden remember Islam? There's so much good the faith also offers, but for some reason, our people are so emotional they kinda lose the point of it. They lose the point of the faith. And suddenly it's all about pride, jazba, izzat, sentiments, emotions.
I'm also Pakistani, but I hate to think that my country has become associated with a group of crazies where if you even mistakenly do something, your life, your career, everything is over.
Someone said it right. It was a rival channel that roused everyone up by making it seem like it something blasphemous when it wasn't.
I agree with you on the point that it was not done on purpose by Veena Malik and her husband but I am sorry to say I have no sympathy for Shaista Wahidi who was doing this repeatedly or the owner of this channel Meer Shakeel ul Rehman who had no check and balance on religious shows. Anyhow criticizing everything related to Pakistan or to our religion doesn't make us secular!! I agree we should criticize when its going a lil over board but not everything related to religion and Paksitan is wrong!!!
Also I dont buy this thing that there are better things to worry about. There are rapes, killings and more serious crimes going on but we HAVE to start from some point. And being a muslim my religious sentiments were hurt and I was shocked to see the clips and so do most of my fellow muslims. Hence I think its completely justified where the court has taken notice of such incident so that people could become more sensitive to such issues... Moreover, discussion on these kind of sensitive topics should be avoided on such forums where trolling is the way to live.
Your religious sentiments are hurt, so Jail is justified? You do know there is no such thing as Jail or killing for it in Quran. So you either care for men-made laws later invented in islam for control and greed, or you care what God says in Quran if you actually believe it.
