Not all Muslim Girls in NYC wear mini-skirts - Page 9

I guess I should have specified more. I have no problem with her wearing a skirt, I don't care who wears a skirt it's their business. I also understand the underlying message in this whole skirt fiasco, not to judge someone based on their clothes. The fact that she said she wears skirts goes against her character.

But you are completely right you can't generalize a whole group based on what one individual does or says. Like I said I had no problem with her wearing the skirt, it was just her statement. Maybe I am blowing this out of proportion because I have faced personal opposition based on what people in India see in Indian media on American people.

Delana, I find it offensive. That's what matters and I consider myself a pretty liberal person. If it can offend someone like me, you can imagine then how offensive this must be. By the way a lot of people who liked the mini skirt also justify the slap, what does that say? What do we say here? Some of these people by the way are NEW profiles, I have noted. Unless we know these people were active on the forum and did not speak up, then we have a bone to pick with them, but until then, we cannot start accusing them.

Right now the issue is this skirt which I found to be totally out of character and out of place.

I don't think the show depicts Muslims at all.. It's loosely based I guess.. I NEVER looked at it that way and i NEVER will... Even in shows with Hindu,sikh, or any other religious character depictions , i dont bother to believe what they show as far as religion is concerned because at the end of the day, I'm least concerned about sch television depiction... .. Indian Television always eggagerates things so im not even gonna get into religion... I'm not gonna say anything further because this topic is way to heated and @Closed always gets reported for being blunt, receiving Personal Mods notes... I'll just say, I'm Muslim and it didn't offend me because I didn't take it as a religious stereotype or what not in the first place...

She definitely should not have tolerated the slap and I have said it many times that I find it offensive as a woman that she didn't and just forgave him over coffee.

There are quite a few Muslims in NY who do. I lived in Manchester, UK and the majority population in the part of town I lived are Bangladeshi and Pakistani Muslims - and I have seen them wear short skirts (in fact shorter than what Zoe had on) even in winter.

I never said you shouldn't find it offensive but you still can't say you believe every Muslim finds short skirts as offensive.

Delena, how do you feel about the things beyond the mini-skirts, like the out of wedlock children that is clearly a gunna kabeer?
You can see the point somewhat right? Of some of saying--whoa hold your horses there? Then the writers shouldn't be calling all the characters muslims.

You seem to be super liberal and that's cool. I'm surrounded by such folks. We may never see eye to eye but the POVs from both sides are always needed the Super Liberals and the Moderate Liberals talking about such issues.

Take care.

Heya sana...just wanted to share something...out of wedlock children and being a murderer and liar are not a part of any of our religions...but our tv serials portray good vs evil...so honestly agar hum sochein toh the religion a person belongs to is not the point here...bad ppl are bad ppl and they are evil irrespective of their religions...Qubool hai being a Muslim backdrop by any means does not imply that evry1 of them needs to be an epitome of good...being evil is unforgivable in every religion including Islam...but we still have villians and vamps...don't we?

Iska matlab yeh thodi hai ki we are misrepresenting a religion...just take it easy

It's all good folks! Good conversations here.
