@Maestro: Now this shows your mindset as calling yourself a Muslim and You like dance and Music. That’s the reason People like you hate the sharia law. Good thing must be admired if its by taliban or someone else. Its embarrassing if you are travelling with your father and these drivers play sexy songs in bus. Its against ethics and also Islam.
