Hi,
As I already told u, I am NOT a narrow-minded "molvi" at all by any standard! Though, I dont watch Hema Malinee ( I hav better tastes!), I do watch other music videos, go to music concerts, look for GF's @ my school, apply hair gel & wear designer clothing...etc etc etc.........I study in a "modern" paki school, where dating, looking, partying etc are all normal & ESSENTIAL.........
BUT, I dont pretend to be "pious"...I dont churn & turn the meaning of religion to justify my way of living.....AND I dont 'use' religion to get me fame & monetary, political gains....this goes for several molvis of pakistan & Dr. aamir is NO DIFFERENT !
This is one of the reasons for my being against Dr. Aamir. Please dont tell me "Practice what you preach"....I think that applies more to Dr. Aamir....he's the one preaching ! And I never said applying gel was bad !!!
Take Care,
AvgJoe

Sorry to say AvgJoe, if you are not pretending to be 'pious' then what are u doing dear,
you are criticizing another person, which simply means that you doesnt do all those things which the criticized person is doing.
This is the problem with all of us 'narrow minded' muslims that we ourselves do all wrong doings, but never stop ourselves from criticizing others.
You must have heard the old story a Buzurg, in which a woman brought her child with a complain that my son takes lot of sweets and that Buzurg sent her back and said come 2morrow....
So dear, in my personal opinion, you have the right to criticize others on religious matters if you are a perfect muslim.
Regards.
