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.

“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.

her feet so as to reveal her hidden charm. … is clearly contravening those 
divine stipulations. Muslim scholars are duty-bound to bring this fact to the 
notice of all Muslims the world over, ..
 
The Muslim Scholars with their ‘religious’ zeal should be duty bound to bring 
the important issues to the notice of the Muslim potentates the world over :-
-of the conditions of the poor masses in their countries who’s wealth they are 
squandering on filthy ostentations as if they are not answerable to God ever. 
(Remember Sadam rotted in a Rat hole after having built numerous Palaces in 
Baghdad. It takes a filthier rat like USA to flush out a filthy Rat )
-of the conditions of the women in their countries who are kept covered up head 
to toe like face-less and voice-less second class citizens.
-of the condition of pregnant/sick women who have no hospitals to go to for 
there are no lady-doctors to attend to them, while their own women get attended 
by the best of the male gynecologists n the West.
-of the children in their countries who have no primary schools to go to while 
their own boys and girls study in the West. 
-of the poor peoples' children in their countries who are taught parrot fashion 
meaningless Arabic verses and then sent to die in some other countries at the 
pretext of getting seventy two virgin hoors in the hereafter, in which they 
themselves do not believe in.
- of the children in their countries who have no shirt/dress on their backs and 
go half naked all their childhood.
Sania dresses in the best sports dress a healthy young Muslim or any other 
women should dress to play a sport. She dresses better than the humping and 
grunting ennis players. 
The religious “scholars” should chough out their excess pious sensuality before 
switching on the TV to watch a tennis match, or should change the channel to 
Sesame Street. 
There are more “divine” important matters being contravened in the so called 
Muslim world the scholars should attend to and protest against.
That is their DUTY.
