"Following Ban on Burqa and Headscarf by Colleges in Southern India, Indian Islamic Scholar Says: 'The Burqa is Not a Part of Islam – It Is a Part of Culture'..."

A Fatwa is sure to follow.

Unfortunately those that bastardize Islam will not see it that way. Had they ever bothered to actually study that "hadith" they would know that.

I like it. Now if the entire country would do this it would be a step in the right direction. There is no reall love lost amongst the Hindus and the Muslims here.

cynic or realist?
 

This is quite brave, and definitely a step forward, though based on the experience of Rushdie and others, these two Islamic scholars, may want to invest in bulletproof Kurta's....
