Yes to a slap and No to a mini skirt? Hypocrisy! - Page 2

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.

Hi guys

Excellent topic.

We have to realise that Qubool hai is a television series and not a platform used to define or explain Islamic beliefs.

Islam does NOT allow the verbal (insult her in public); physical (slap her); emotional abuse. It's a sin to degrade or abuse women in any way. We have to be treated with respect and dignity at all times.

Qubool hai is far from an approved muslim society and Mr Asad Ahmed Khan does not describe a tradional muslim man. He is a man of double standards.

There is a dress code that muslims have to abide by and a mini-skirt is not part of it. This is irrespective of which part of the world you are living in. I'm proud to say that women in Mumbai are just as progressive and educated as the women in New York.

There are dress codes for muslim men as well.

We must release that not all the actions of people define the religion they follow. This applies to Islam; Christianity; Hinduism and Buddhism etc.

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?
