Don't judge the South based on me. I come from Charleston - it's a big metropolis thats conservative as hell but used to multiculturalism, and there is a greater concentration of educated people.

Ok, you know what? She ain't popular - heck, until she was mentioned here I'd never heard of her. Even if she had talent - which I can't comment on as I have not heard any of her material; she will still die without a trace as I assume, like myself, most people will not bother. Whether people are religious or not, no-one likes hearing a loud mouth little princess playing politics, so no-one will bother with her. She's going to fade into obscurity. She is not going to cause mass destraction and fuel animosity between the faiths. She's just a little girl who's mommy and daddy probably didn't get her the birthday present she wanted when she was five, so she is rebelling; this is her two finger salute to them. She will go nowhere fast.
Let's not blow this out of proportion. She's a cartoon character.

Her real name is Deepika..that's a well used hindu name. Her faith is unknown. She's of mixed afghani/pakistani/persian descent, so you'd expect her to be muslim, but she could be a heathen for all we know. Coz religion ain't fashionable is it, and madonna follows anything but organised religion. Wicca world one day, jewish mysticism the next, she's a confused woman.
She prob isn't even muslim like i said before she's using religion to publicise her music career, which seems to be going no where.
Like Aphrodite said she hadn't heard of her until this thread started, and neither had I so she must be a big flop.
Asian papers online compared her to jlo, i think jlo should sue for libel looooooool
Everyone agree's that she is a lost confused individual
and she sings crap songs (and she aint even that pretty :twisted: )
But i think u guys are blowing this cross thing outta proportion
we dont know whats her intention for wearing it
a MUSLIM girl we know who lives on our road reg wears tiny silver crosses-but she wears them as a fashion accesory
and btw if she wasnt a Muslim I'm sure she wouldnt hesitate to point it out-after all its COS she's a Muslim that she recaived grief in the first place

A muslim girl/guy should know the significance of the cross, she shouldn't be wearing it. If you know her you should kindly point it out perhaps she isn't aware.
I don't like the way the cross has been made into a fashion accessory, it's a complete mockery of the religion. How would we react if someone like george micheal wore the crescent moon and star symbol around his neck. Would we happily sing oh it's a fashion accessory. I think there'd be a fatwa on his head lol
P.s Judda it's a fashion accessory, sinful to us yeah but to those who wear it i think they're unaware. Just pop into a few well known high st stores i.e topshop you'll be guaranteed to find chrystal crosses with lots of bling bling in between the aisles of skimpy clothing and high heel shoes.
Crosses like other religious items should only be made available in the christian bookstores/clothes stores. This is a case for the bible belt, they need to take action.

The Cross is not a fashion accessory. The reason you see it worn so prominently amongst Catholic girls is that it is given to them on their confirmation. It is the absolutely symbol of our faither - a reminder of what God did - and does to wash away our sins. No muslim, hindu, atheist or any other religious background that does not accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior have absolutely no business wearing, like its some sort of god damn trinket.
There is absolutely no way to describe to you what kind of insult that is, since there is nothing that comes close to what that represents in Islam - it's like a physical Sahaada.
It is tripley worse when a Non-Christian wears the Cross to mock it. There are enough educated people through britain, most of europe, and parts of USA to dismiss this stupid little girl as such. I'm furious at [i]her[/i] and any other nonchristian that wears it out of disrespect (and that includes as a "Fashion Accessory" but I am not furious at all muslims.
It is my profound fear that this is just more ammunition for the nuts calling for an American crusade across the bible belt - people listen to them.
So many of you seem convinced that America has some sort of benign understanding that Islam is not terrorism. Much of the Country - although so far restrained in violence toward muslims - is extremely suspicious of Islam, they are not entirely convinced that 911 wasn't some sort of muslim plot to destroy the United States.
You must understand Americans are usually the last to know the effects of our unchecked international power - right up until the Coalition against Iraq we thought we were beloved everywhere - especially the middle east. It seemed the only natural explanation to us on 911 that muslims attacked us because it is a violent hateful religion that hates our freedom and our religion.
You gotta know that's not yet gone - it's not to the point people are randomly lashing out against muslims like they were on 911, but instances like this little girl mocking the cross, and [i]all[/i] the muslim gangs running about in Britain converting people at gunpoint (as that is how Robertson portrayed it) are more ammo for our nuts.
The Admin is right most bible belters (of which the President is one) will see a muslim girl, mocking the cross - it's a 1 + 1 scenario.

It is not our actions that we will be judged on but our intentions; therefore we shouldn’t be so quick to judge others on their actions either.
We all agree that wearing the cross is totally wrong. However, it is not clear why she chose to wear it.
Here in London, it is not unusual to see girls who are not Christians wearing fake diamond encrusted crosses around their neck….the girls who wear a cross around their neck do know that it is wrong; however they think its minor…they think its pretty.
They see it as a fashion accessory and are copying their favourite celebs who are regularly seen wearing very bling, bling cross’s on MTV.
Religious symbols do very regularly come into fashion. All last year was about the Hindu Gods on T shirt… [url=http://hindunet.org:8088/ahad/shoes/]this link [/url] shows how outraged the Hindu's were when their God was depicted on shoes.
I’m not saying that that this is right, it’s totally wrong. All I’m saying is that there are many different reasons why people choose to do things.
