Yes to a slap and No to a mini skirt? Hypocrisy!

I tried really hard to refrain myself from making a topic on anything about this much hyped skirt fiasco...but alas I couldn't...I am appalled and disturbed to see insults thrown at each-other by Muslims and non- Muslims.

People here very openly has condemned wearing a mini skirt in an Islamic society ? So, where was this hue and cry when a woman was slapped by an orthodox Muslim man in the very Islamic society?

So, am I to believe that in Islam, attire of a woman is given more importance than treatment towards woman? So, a man can slap a woman...verbally and physically abuse her but a woman doesn't have the liberty to wear what she wants?

Also, in all this ppl who are blaming Zoya for wearing a mini skirt is conveniently forgetting that she was raised as an American and not an Indian. Zoya is an American and that too a progressive, educated New Yorker who grew up in a progressive society and not in an orthodox Muslim society.

Shouldn't treatment towards women be given more importance than clothes in any given society or culture?

Asad give tanveer a very tight slap and send her away and please don't mind zoya's skirt she looks cute at the same time it maynot be her fault who knows what tanveer planned to do :(

Zoya is not obligated to do anything what Asad wants...he cannot dictate her period. I condemn any kind of physical abuse...whether its the female lead or the villain. It's not acceptable in a civilized society.

Bravo! I am sick of the mentality that some people exhibit in the name of religion. If a skirt is a no no so is living with a man who is not your relative, listening to music, watching tv and reading books. Are they saying people who do these things are not true Muslims? You can't pick and choose religion to suit your convenience.

Like you I have to question the thinking of these people - hitting a woman, degrading her, hugging your best friend so openly (read Asad and tanveer) is all ok but god forbid Zoya wears a mini skirt.

WORD.

A big round of applause to you... I was like there are so many post on "religion and culture" but none to protect feminism. I think thing is hyped in this forum by some anti elements who lost all the fun in their lives so thought let do some boozie with keyboards and computers you see what summer vacation does to some... height of hypocrisy: abuse a woman, degrade her, demean her, cut her self respect to shreads in the name of TAMEEZ AND TEHZEEB but dont stand by her... No wonder in our country a woman is blamed if she got molested or raped.. because she was wearing short dresses, inviting men. Yuck... people and their dirty minds.. if the same sex can respond to a person wearing a short skirt then what can we from opposite sex.

And its not just about being a from New York or being raised as an American, I personally have so many Muslim friends here in India who wear shorts, sleeveless dresses and what not.So I dont get why such afuss is made about her clothes.

And about the question you raised. I believe no matter which religion you belong to it does not give you a right to judge or treat a person wrongly based on the clothes they wear or anything. Be the person a man or woman.

And honestlyI lost hope with the people on this forum when so many of them justified the slap. It was wrong it, it still is wrong and Zoya wearing a skirt its her life her choice.

WORD!

The only thing that keeps me sane is knowing that the forum represents a very small part of the viewing population.

I still didn't get it. I mean , she is wearing a mini skirt , yes , so what ??? Its not like she is in a bikini or someting . Whats so bad about it ? Its depands on people's eyes , how they take it -in a bad way or good way . By the way its a girl's behavior , which counts . A girl , who wears salwar-kurti can be shameless (behavior factors) .
