Just stand on Faizabad adda for more than 30 minutes after 10 pm amd observe our societies hypocisy

Forget about faizabad adda even, It is so sad and it hits you when you are a lady and standing on a road waiting for a taxi or even if you are waiting for your family members and the flashy cars just stop by and try to pick you as if you are waiting for them.

If this is morality of those who are perturbed by such adds then do they have any right to give verdict?

Now why would I do that? I adore your tomboyish style. :P

:P sorry. Seriously when limits of idiocy is crossed by some people then I feel like cursing them in theeth punjabi
 
.
Women are discriminated in the first world too.

I thought you were making fun of me
In west issues are free nipples now in our country we still have issues over forced marriages and disinheriting not the same league
 
.
what goes on at this Faizabad adda ? :smokin:

Male, female prostitution

In west issues are free nipples now in our country we still have issues over forced marriages and disinheriting not the same league

In west gender equality is still an issue on many fronts. Though they have less or non at personal front unlike us

Male, female prostitution
oh dear, I was thinking more along the lines of some nice smokable herbs, and maybe some beer etc


who cares though, fine by me as long as everyone makes a bit of money, just hope there's no kids involved and that kind of exploitation. :big_boss:

Money at cost of human exploitation is not fine.

hash, smoke, drinking is normal in Islamic Republic of Pakistan. No gherat no ego

Is weley tahajad parni ey?

Let me begin by saying that I can fully understand socially conservative people being troubled by some of modern societies' eccentricities, and while our mileage may vary depending on where we are, and I know that south Asia in general is not culturally the same as the west, but Indian society today is a bit more forward looking on issues of "morality" and cultural norms than contemporary Pakistani society.

but I am alarmed by your casual, smug, sanctimonious attitude to people being killed for not obeying conservative cultural norms.

why not just live and let live ?
so, @Zarvan

you didn't reply to this, so I'll ask again, why not just live and let live ?

you go mosque, they go mujra, and who the hell cares, eh ?

But why would women need such - or any - restrictions? They are just as human as the men.
by replying to you i think i am jumping into a useless debate with a blind liberal who cant see the obvious differences and argues for the sake of argument.
anyways restrictions(according to islam) are there on both sexes depending upon their role , nature and emotions. the other purpose of restrictions could be to test us. remember the restriction put on Adam A S and Eve regarding that tree. the third purpose of restrictions which are applied by the religious teachings as per the instructions of Allah and the Prophet SAW is to create an ideal human society .He is the creator and He knows us more then we know ourselves. I am using acer laptop. the company which has made it know that this laptop will cease to function at 300 V so they have restricted me not to use this laptop at very high voltage. now if i use it at that voltage only i will suffer. so the restrictions according to the islamic teachings are for our own benefits.
yes, both men and women are humans but if someone says that they are exactly the same then i call him a big idiot. there are differences in physical strength, emotions , nature and role.
 
.
The best way to empower women is to educate them properly under islamic environment with modern education and science and technology.

I would suggest all primary school teachers in Pakistan should be female
 
.
My issue with this ad is the location they selected(old city),music and dancing infront of an all male crowd after being harrased

I mean it wouldve been ok if they shit it inside a mall or somethingbut with a different message its not like the first flash mob of Pakistan
I remember a flash mob for ho man jahan promotion but i cant find its video
Centaurus Islamabad
My view on flash mobs is well if you want to do that for promotion of something its cool and all but please do it inside a mall or an elite area old city flashmobs can get you in serious trouble plus dancing for your harraser sends a very stupid message that you should please your abuser
@Mugwop @The Sandman @django @User @pak-marine @Moonlight @Spring Onion


I have less issue with the dance and more with the location,music and message
the chic looked like a better looking version of sonakshi.

If I was their that day, I would have joined in:p:

That is what they believe(by poor and distorted- almost scared) understanding of the Quran and associated texts. It is an understanding based on poor education and/or poor research and exposure.

Essentially, anyone who does not agree with them is liable for death or worse.
