“Bush promises 20 billion dollars worth of Weapons” of Mass Destruction to
Saudis
This for sure does not include other billions worth of weapons to their
remaining pets in the region.
REMEMBER THE SHAH OF IRAN- He had bought billions of dollars worth of weapons
from Britain and the US—his friends-- before he unceremoniously lost his crown
in spite of the CIA’s intervention!
How ironic that these pets surrender their dignity in return to acquire weapons
with which they kill their own brothers, for the benefit of their enemies.
This was a planned visit at a time – like many times in the past—when the
traveling “arms dealer” sells his wares to help prop up sagging economy at home
and pay for the cost of destroying the Muslim world, and the pets oblige him
with wagging tails. Shame!
20 billion!? Imaging what that would do to improve the condition of people if
spread round the Muslim world let alone the poor world at large!!
What has this got to do with tennis dress?
WHERE ARE THE MUSLIM SCHOLARS, who are more concerned with what Sania wears
playing Tennis. The religious brigade- the moral police with beards in Muslim
countries do a much better and cruel job without not even having been to a
school , let alone have PhDs to their name to do their DUTY.

Well, brother, your effort is commendable, but, please do not base your
argument on REORTS. You obviously should know how murky can media REPORTS get.
I am a witness to the argument provided by Zakir Naik on Sania Mirza and never
once did he even imply that her short attire could be ignored. Infact he quite
clearly said that it was wrong.

Assalaamu alaykum,
In a news item, sometime back, Dr Zakir Naik, the renowned Islamic scholar, is
reported to have said, "Everyone has different levels of modesty. There were
tennis players who wore long skirts and performed just as well. But personally,
I support Sania Mirza as she prays five times a day, so the skirts she wears
can be ignored."
I admire the Doctor and often listen to his speeches. But that should not mean
that everything he says is sacrosanct. He is human after all, and prone to
errors. Let us therefore examine his reported quote in Qur'aanic light and see
whether it is in conformity with the divine guidance. For, the Qur'aan calls
those who do not judge by what Allah has revealed as suppressors of Truth,
oppressors and transgressors [refer Verses 5.44, 5.45 and 5.47].
Allah has indeed given mankind the freedom, in this life, not to go by the way
laid down in the Qur'aan. By giving the freedom, Allah is only testing mankind.
So is Sania Mirza being tested. If she fails the test, the responsibility for
the consequences is entirely hers. But the matter of punishing her, for any
breach of the divinely laid down dress code, lies with Allah. Since she comes
from a country, and goes to such countries to play tennis, which have nothing
against her dress in their penal codes, Muslims can do nothing legal to prevent
her from wearing her short dress.
Nevertheless, since Sania Mirza has gained fame and wealth, she has become an
icon, and her actions are liable to be copied by others. Other Muslim girls may
think, if Sania Mirza can do it, why not they? Muslim scholars are therefore
duty-bound to examine her actions, and publicly condemn them if they are
against divine stipulations.
Verse 24.31 clearly lays down that a woman should so cover her body as not to
display its charm in public. She is moreover asked, in that Verse, not to stamp
her feet so as to reveal her hidden charm. As anyone can see, Sania Mirza,
playing in full public glare with her short body-clinging dress, is clearly
contravening those divine stipulations. Muslim scholars are duty-bound to bring
this fact to the notice of all Muslims the world over, although they are in no
position to prevent her from continuing to play thus.
In the circumstances, it is surprising that an eminent Islamic scholar like Dr
Zakir Naik should say the skirts, Sania wears, can be ignored. She may be
praying five times a day, but Allah condemns those who obey some divine
stipulations, and disobey others [refer Verse 2.85].
