Re: Burqa Avenger
How is that demeaning? Batman is a superhero, not Mathiera or Madeira what ever you call her.
Cape or ninja costume, it is called BURKA Avenger so it must be a burka. Now no matter how hard you try you can’t change that, can you?
If people believed it was just a piece of cloth they wouldn’t be banning it nor Marvi Sirmed would be going all nuts over it. So surely, burka, in modern day And age, stands for much more than just an item of clothing.
Bao, with due respect, tell that to Taliban. They should, before killing people and destroying buildings and helping criminals escape from jails, should clean shave themselves.
We common Muslims respect this sunnah of prophet 
, it’s these terrorists who are giving it a bad name.
Re: Burqa Avenger
It’s a kids show. Give it a break. Plus, the first kids show after that puppet dude, so Pakistani entertainment people aren’t trained in this stuff. Just like now after 10 years or more of private television, they’ve figured out how to give out free babies on TV to boost their ratings, maybe it will take them 10 years to come up with a cartoon that can keep up pace with Charlie Brown.
Re: Burqa Avenger
Have they already aired episodes? All I could find was the trailer.
Plagiarists
Long before burqa avenger, we had our own superhero…one whose real identity was so shrouded in mystery that everyone was pointing fingers at everyone as the possible person (okay..well not everyone pointing fingers at everyone but just PCG pointing fingers at ppl )
Our own, the one, the only…

Re: Burqa Avenger
Um, seriously?
Re: Burqa Avenger
I’m just happy we finally would have a reasonably produced animated programme. Shall we hold judgements until after a few episodes?

Re: Burqa Avenger
It is interesting to see that many are overlooking the positive message within the show. While most of you don’t have to worry about keeping your children out of school, there are those who are forcefully stripped of their right to education in the country. Before we become too critical of this show, let’s review some facts: According to reports, “1,030 schools and colleges were destroyed by Taliban insurgents in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa from 2009 to 2013.” Pakistani victims: War on terror toll put at 49,000 – The Express Tribune. The terrorists are trying everything in their power to keep the nation in dark. They’ve formulated intimidation and fear to keep the children out of school. We’ve heard many horror stories of Taliban targeting female students with acid attack. In fact, this is what the local Pakistani Taliban leader said after one of the attacks: "If and when we find any girl from Parachinar going to university for an education we will target her (in) the same way, so that she might not be able to unveil her face before others.” Pakistani Taliban target female students with acid attack - CNN.com.
How can we forget Malala Yousafzai, who famously stood up to the Taliban last October at the age of 15 and was shot in the head for advocating girls’ education. If Taliban are trying everything in their power to impose their evil ideology; then what’s wrong with offering hope and encouragement to those who are most affected by their actions?

For those of you feeling victimized by a children’s show promoting education and women’s rights, know that none of the bad guys have the typical Shariah beard. The one character who does is the superhero’s kind mentor/instructor.
Give things a chance before blasting them, dismissing them, and assuming the worst. You know what happens when you assume…
Re: Burqa Avenger
What I don’t get is why does the heroine have to wear a burqa? If this is to be relatable to the Pakistani public, the traditional pakistani girl is actually NOT burqa clad, in fact the burqa has recently become fashionable amongst confused elites, esp the niqaab, post-911 and during the recent religious re-awakening. The fact is that the average Pakistani girl is a shalwaar kameez-wearing, smart girl who has good values, so why not show her in a shalwaar kameez, and have her show her face?
This condones the niqaab as an Islamic concept and while we may argue about whether the Hijab is mandatory or not, the burqa and CERTAINLY the niqaab take it one step further that even people who believe in taking a head covering may not agree with.
So, the heroine actually represents a minority of muslim women, not the average muslim woman!
^ She is using burqa as a mask. She does not wear burqa in regular life
Re: Burqa Avenger
^ right. It ISN’T part of her normal attire. She is simply able to take something and use it to help her blend into the background until she is ready to attack.
I wish she didn’t just throw books at people. It would be nice if the book at least landed open and her “victim” was forced to acquire some useful knowledge or something. 
Re: Burqa Avenger
Read, DAMMIT, READ!!!
Re: Burqa Avenger
I agree, she should not throw books, instead she can use takhti (wooden tablets) and schools bags as weapons. Books seem little disrespectful.
Re: Burqa Avenger
I don’t know, maybe it’s a sign of the times, that people have become so ignorant, that we truly have to throw books at them to WAKE UP.
Re: Burqa Avenger
You cant be serious. Read the bylaws.
Re: Burqa Avenger
I noticed the villains actually do not all have beards on the show. Vajero Padero only has a moustache and the goat knappers who are supporting Vajero are clean shaven. It would be cool if Burkha avenger after using the books caught them and read a page. That would be educational as well.
In fact the foster father of the girl has beard and he is a good guy
