Sanctimony

Letter January 29, 2011
Let’s not pass judgements, for if it comes to ‘morality’.

ISLAMABAD: It seems that the biggest issue being faced by the ulema relates to the appearance of Pakistani actress Veena Malik on “Bigg Boss 4” and her conduct and attire on it. Without going into the detail of who is right or wrong, may I remind our ‘religious scholars’ about a quote from the Holy Quran: “Allah is the only one who can judge humans. (Quran 46:9)". Let’s not pass judgements, for if it comes to ‘morality’, a simple investigation into the incidence of sexual molestation of boys at madrassas across the country will reveal what our ‘maulvis’ will not be able to bear.
