talk about reviving a thread...this has just come back from the dead!

don't worry, no culture, religion, country is free from such spasticated morons... although i'd hoped the civil environment we provide on this forum would make such occurnces less and less. Some hope.

just banned the idiot!

i know that it is Gujarat's Gandhism that has influenced its stance on alcohol. But to be fair, my first comments were about Shiv Sena's attacks on valentines day couples, shps, and beer bar girls. And that is thackerayism

Surprisingly, it's sunny.:cheers:

He is only the previous head of the army, so he has no knowledge of morale, or army culture at the moment. It is understood, that serving officers never air any such concerns, it is usually retired officers, with tacit approval from the current army chiefs, that offer their views, and air...

Let's get off the personal stuff, Gentlemen.

Yes, it is an uncouth thing to do. Women deserve their privacy. It must be kept in mind that the forbidance is not for one woman looking at another, but for the woman to tell her husband about another woman's features, body, hair, figure, beauty, etc.

This is because Islam, as a way of life, does not just give us a list of dos and don'ts, but teaches us how to organise a harmonious society. Therefore even acts that might seem unharmful, are sometimes forbidden due to where they might lead in the future. For example, sexual promiscuousness...

I don't mind you sharing your point of view. However, I find it objectionable, and I am sad, that people who claim to be the propogators and defenders of islam, who talk about Quran and Saheeh Hadeeth, are in fact themselves ignorant of much of this literature. I knew about these Ahadeeth...

the Following below are taken from Sahih Al Muslim's online translation. Book 004, Number 1940: 'A'isha reported that Abu Bakr came to her and there were with her two girls on Adha days who were singing and beating the tambourine and the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) had...

I don't know which society you have been living in, but many marriage functions in Pakistan are segregated for this exact reason. Especially the Mehndi function, usually has close relatives and friends, where women dance in front of women, with the occasional spill over. This is a chance for...

I don't know how reading the Qur'aan would help in this regard, since there is no mention of banning of dances in the Qur'aan. Even the hurmah of music is debated among muslim scholars of the past and the present, with the major evidence given by those forbidding it is an Athar, the Saying of a...

The issue is not about bootleg liquor, but the fact that Gujarat is a dry State, that bans alcohol. My question was regarding these bans, that do these bans make the Bharatia State a Talibanised State? If no, then RajKumar has no right to accuse us of being Talibanised. Talibanisation in...

spurdozer...islam doesn't condemn dance...where did you get this from? In fact, the Prophet Muhammad watched the dance of the Abyssinians in Madinah, and even picked up his wife Ayesha, so that she could see the dance from a higher vantage point herself. This is mentioned in Sahih al...

When they were banned, was that a sign of Talibanisation of India? When Gujarat is a dry state meaning lots of people have to drink bootlegged liquor and die, is that a sign of Talibanisation?

Did you say the same thing about Bharat, when the dancing bar girls of Mumbai were banned, when the likes of Bal Thackeray and his Shiv Sena attack women drinkers, or couples buying Valentine's day flowers. Even extremists have never attacked Valentines' Day card/flower/teddy sellers in...

The removal of a lot of Uighurs from high posts in the province may not be a cause for the riots, but it certainly could not have helped. Who do you take these 'interests' to be? Al Qaida, the Taliban, the Uighur community in America? It seems a recurrent and easy ploy by many...

Has the govt learned from the disastrous experience of the KESC’s privatisation? So decrepit and inefficient is the country’s power sector that fixing all that ails the generation, transmission and distribution of electricity in Pakistan will take many years. But even if the...

It is on the basis of thei Historical claim, that Pakistan ceded to China a part of Kashmiri territory that China had claimed. However, the issue is not about seperatism in Xinjiang, but the treatment of the Uighur community of Xinjiang. They should have equal rights and opportunities as...
