Why no hue and cry for bollywood muslim girls.
by Vasan Thatai on Sep 18, 2005 01:58 PM

The fatwa over the dress code by maulvis and like is no surprise. This was expected. Expected from most of the maulvis, imams and like. What these maulvis, imams and the fundamentalists don't understand is that there is lot beyond shariat and quran. What is bad is that when all religion and its books have been questioned and subsequently refined..it is only the shariat and quran which did not undergo any refinement or cleansing. This is because no one from the community dares to defy by questioning its virtues.
Dress code and several other codes like Sati, widow re-marriage, premarital sex etc did exist for Hindus, Christians, Parsis etc..however their people rather than blindly sticking to it questioned, studied, understood, refined and embraced change for betterment.
What is surprising is that there is any hue and cry raised against bollywood muslims, males and females alike. There is so much happening there. No noice against them since long..like dress code for the then Zeenat Aman to Dia Mirza.
I expect some reaction from like minded Muslim friends.
