Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

India: Muslim cleric says, “As per Islam, women should fully cover their bodies”

Dec 27, 2016 3:43 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams

Condemning Indian cricketer Mohammed Shami for her wife’s dress, a Muslim cleric on Monday said that the former should understand that women should be fully covered as per Islam.

As per Islam, women should indeed be fully covered:

(Quran 24:31) And tell the believing women to reduce of their vision and guard their private parts and not expose their adornment except that which appears thereof and to wrap [a portion of] their headcovers over their chests and not expose their adornment except to their husbands, their fathers, their husbands’ fathers, their sons, their husbands’ sons, their brothers, their brothers’ sons, their sisters’ sons, their women, that which their right hands possess, or those male attendants having no physical desire, or children who are not yet aware of the private aspects of women. And let them not stamp their feet to make known what they conceal of their adornment. And turn to Allah in repentance, all of you, O believers, that you might succeed.

If a woman does not cover, she is fair game to be assaulted….

(Quran 33:59) O Prophet, tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to bring down over themselves of their outer garments. That is more suitable that they will be known and not be abused.

Yet the Huffington Post published an inane article entitled “Muslims are the True Feminists,” which argued in defense of the Islamic covering. The article amounted to nothing more than an Islamic supremacist attack on Western women.

There is no freedom for Muslim women who are forced to veil in accord with the cultural and religious tenets of normative Islam. Shami and others who challenge the backwardness and oppression of this norm should be commended and fully supported. Shami’s wife has become a social media display, prompting both scorn and defense as the battle continues:

Residents of Sahaspur Alinagar, the village from where cricketer Mohammed Shami hails, have come out batting for the Indian pacer at the receiving end of some nasty criticism on social media over his wife’s sleeveless dress.

“‘As per Islam, women should be fully covered’: Female Muslim cleric slams Mohammed Shami’s wife’s dress,” DNA Daily News, December 27, 2016:

Condemning Indian cricketer Mohammed Shami for her wife’s dress, a Muslim cleric on Monday said that the former should understand that women should be fully covered as per Islam. ‘I don’t think it is a controversial matter, but yes it is condemnable. Taking Islam into context, this is not correct. Being a Muslim he should have remembered that women should be fully covered as per Islam,’ said Muslim cleric Hina Zaheer.

Another Muslim cleric Umer Ilyas said that changing the dress code is not a problem, but the best costume is the one which fully covers one’s body. ‘As per Islam, women should fully cover their bodies. One has freedom to wear anything, this is their personal matter, but the best costume is the one which fully covers one’s body,’ said Ilyas. India’s strike bowler Mohammed Shami came in for sharp criticism by Muslim fanatics for posting pictures of his wife Hasin Jahan on social media.

Earlier, former cricketers have come to defense of ace Indian fast bowler Mohammad Shami, who came under sharp criticism of Muslim fanatics for posting his wife Hasin Jahan’s pictures on social media.

Shami was reminded of his religion, with some even asking why his wife was not wearing a hijab.

Coming to Shami’s defense, former Indian cricketer Syed Kirmani said no body has right to interfere into anybody’s religious matters, adding that people should learn to look into themselves first before they point fingers at other.

Nobody should interfere into anybody’s personal life. Secondly, there is no force in our Islam. And we have no right to interfere into anybody’s religious matters,’ former Kirmani told ANI.

Echoing similar sentiments, former wicketkeeper-batsman Deep Dasgupta said it was sad that people have reacted in such an irresponsible manner. ‘It’s sad because the way people are reacting. See that’s one of the evils of the social media where there are people who are like that. It’s sad that some people in 21st century talk like that. But you cannot really do much,’ Dasgupta told ANI.

The Bengal pacer also took to Twitter to hit back at these internet trolls in a fitting manner and by being completely polite in his response.

‘Very good morning Har kisi ko jindagi mai mukam ni milta, kuch kismat wale hi hote hai jinhe ye nasib hota hai.!.jalteee rahooooo (Not everyone get what they desire, only a lucky few get it. They are my wife and daughter and I know what I should do. We should all look inwards),’ he said

‘Ye dono meri zindage or life partner hai me acha trha janta hu kiya karna hai kiya nahi.hame apne andar dekhna chahiye ham kitna accha hai.( These two are my life and life partner. I myself know what to do and what not to do. We should all look within ourselves how nice we are),’ he added.

‘The comments are really really Shameful. Support Mohammed Shami fully. There are much bigger issues in this country. Hope sense prevails,’ said Mohammad Kaif……

    “As per Islam, women should be fully covered.”

    As per common sense and any enlightened ethical system, Islam should be denigrated completely and regularly since it reeks of fascism, bad manners, control-freak behavior and stupidity.

      HI Wellington you wrote

      That’s brilliant wording. I’d only add anti-Semitism and imposing a barbaric law

      All the best to you and yours my friend, take care

    Syed is clearly influenced by Jesus more than the koran: ‘And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?’

    And it doesn’t sound like Shami has any intention of beating his life-partner as per sura 4:34.

    I pity truly moderate muslims.

      So do I. They are the most pitiful lot of them all. But on some level also the most malicious. They spend their time trying to create excuse after excuse, justification after justification for their stupid religion and their even more stupid prophet, and then some gullible non Muslims believe them. That is the dangerous bit.

      When they cannot justify the abominable actions of Muhammad – which are too many to count – then they try to attack Christianity by listing all the faults of some Biblical character.

      I’ve even met one who attacked Jesus himself for promising to come back and judge the world.

      I seriously believe the hijab actually makes women more stupid because on some unseen demonic level it reduces the natural effectiveness of their senses and cognitive abilities.

      The “Moderate” muslims are actually people who don’t follow their disgusting religion, but are under the delusion that they do. They are the most pathetic bunch sitting on the fence between common sense and insanity.

    I found it hilariously ironic. “Feminism” being co-opted and overrun by an ideology that it is its polar opposite, much like “feminism” (i.e., female supremacy and equality of outcome) co-opted and overran classic feminism (focused on equal rights and equality of opportunity).

        Yep. It sounds like a threat– from those with power to destroy.

        I knew a Muslim woman from Afghanistan some years ago, She told me how women would be beaten if even an ankle or wrist showed. Men were also frightened; they would be hurt for listening to music, not having the correct beard .. . They were powerless to defend their families.

        I still can’t believe we have allowed this scourge into western democracies and that it is not unanimously condemned.

          This morning there was a report that a chap who has been orchestrating pressure via Twitter and Facebook to allow women some freedom to drive in Saudi Arabia has now been sentenced to jail as well as fined.

          And Hillary Clinton, the great feminist, was happy to take money and support from these primitives.

      • gravenimage says

        Dec 27, 2016 at 8:55 pm

        Yes–I was worried that this sounded like a threat, as well.

    A young, beautiful family is a sight to behold. But Islam can’t stand beauty. It just ugliness and unhappiness. This family should leave the evil cult. But they can’t even do that out of their own free will, even if they wanted to. What a sick, retarderd, backward, insecure and insanely jealous ideology that imprisions mind and body completely.

  8. Veka Fitzfrancis says

    Dec 27, 2016 at 7:20 pm

    I’m pretty sure the pedophile prophet didn’t actually mention anything about sleeves when he original said women had to be covered from their necks to their knees. That, much like the niqab were much later additions.

    Should the baby be covered as well?

    Good grief, at least from what we see here, it’s a perfectly modest (and gorgeous!) dress! The lady is gorgeous too. And you know we can’t have that! Islam has to destroy everything that brings any beauty to this world.

    This is the reason that Muslim males cannot control themselves in the West. They see that women have legs, arms, hair and throats. Things they can only see in Islam by getting married.
    They have been taught that Western uncovered women are the same as whores

    Just another thought, here in Sydney we are presently experiencing a dreadful heatwave, 40 deg C temperatures and 100% humidity, it is particularly bad in the Muslim areas of western Sydney. It must be awful to have to wear those black sacks in this weather, I just wonder if the Muslim women even slightly envy Aussie women who can dress appropriately. (Light summer dress and sunhat or simply shorts and a tee shirt.)

    Th way Islam treat little boys and girls should they not be covered as well? Reading about war in the mideast reveals how muslim men force small boys to wear make-up as hey are raped by hese sorry substitutes for human beings?
    Here is a book exposing the foul people:Gaddafi’s Harem-Annick Cojean-The story of a young woman and the abuses of power in Libya by Gaddafi
