Morality Reserved for Girls Only?

I dont understand why the women are allowed to watch the sports channel though

we all know are weak and corrupt they are

what if watching men playing football in shorts makes them have fitna-tastic thoughts?

:shock: :shock:

Men are so perfect and in control of themselves that of course such laws dont apply to them :roll: :roll:

LUCKNOW, Times News Network:

With ulema calling the shots, life for Muslim women in a minority-dominated town in Bijnor, will never be the same again.

Simple and harmless pleasures like visiting friends, a trip to the market or tuning in to their favourite soap could be denied to them.

Local clerics have decided to impose a strict ban on "potential corrupting influence on female minds that threaten to violate Islamic tenets".

According to reports reaching here, pesh imams of 14 mosques in Barhapur-Nagina town and its adjacent areas held a meeting after Friday prayers on June 10 and issued directives to men to ensure that their wives and sisters behaved like honest-to-Allah women.

The gaglist includes a ban on womenfolk from stepping out of their homes, no cinema, TV serials or exposure to modern music. This would ensure purity of minds, the diktat states.

According to reliable sources, the imams also set up monitoring committees to ensure strict compliance. A seven-member group will visit suspect homes and report any deviation.

Interestingly, as far as watching TV is concerned, Islam imposes same curbs on men, said Maulana Khalid Rashid from Firangi Mahal.

Rashid adds with some generosity "there is nothing wrong if women watched television programmes like Discovery Channel, news channels or sports."

i dont think Muslim News would have taken it if it was propoganda against Islam

deleted

its easy to say sumin is not tru

but u need proof to back up ur argument

and btw I think "Muslim News" have credibility

[quote="yashmaki"] I mean I can't see a panel of muslim scholars all suggesting such bans on women alone, and not men, knowing what they do about Allah's law? It sounds like a bit of western propaganda against Islam.[/quote]

in a BBC news article some scholars gave a Fatwa that a women MUST marry her rapist and end her marraige

its unbelievable what ignornat "scholars" are capable of-knowing Gods laws

It was not a scholar that gave that dispicable verdict.

[quote="yashmaki"]But how reliable is this source, just because a news article appears in a reputable media form, i.e bbc do we just presume it must be true because the BBC said so? Most of us want to know what their source or evidence is for making such claims. So should we then presume this story is completely true merely coz it's in a muslim newspaper? It may be true to some extent but perhaps theres a bit of exaggeration here?

^^^ exactly! 🙂

'cept ofcourse, this article was apparently taken from 'times' which is way dodgier than BBC.

I'll believe u girls when u show me proof that suggests otherwise

until then I cant dismiss a article taken by Muslim News to be dodgy just cos someone said so-if i do that'll mean I'm questioning a respectable Muslim nes website for no apparent reason

Just to beat 'Ed I thought I may as well do a long time bump too.

It is probably interesting to those not here 2 years ago.

wow. :shock: i think i've changed somewhat over the last 2 years...

why'd u think it'd be interesting to those who weren't here admin?

The title - I read the posts later and realised it was a different topic.

Interesting because well... they may have had an opinion on the topic.

i think 'morality reserved for girls only' is a cultural thing

in the west cos of the rise of the ladette culture its acceptabe for girls to be just as bad as boys

Eurgh ladettes! :oops:
