How can you support something, which is against Islam, something which your creator and my creator Allah has deemed impermissible. Of course it is permissible when necessary but not when it is not necessary. It’s shocking to find that most people on this forum are Muslims. Something I’ve heard is that it is backwards. However if you look at it is Western society which is backwards. The promiscuity, single mother families, affairs, number of relationships people go through in their lives and the rapidly declining monogamy. All these points have a positive correlation with free mixing. Allah is our creator he knows what is best for us not uncle Sam.

Yes totally agree. I mean if you’re not religious and are okay with mixing, that’s fine. But when people start saying ‘come into the 21st century’ - it’s got nothing to do with that. Islam is a timeless religion and it’s ideals stand for eternity. Free mixing is inevitable in the West - I get that. But to the extent you can control it, well, you should.

Regarding the point about desi’s free mixing - again it depends on person to person. I don’t attend mixed functions, and don’t support mixed joint family systems, so I can only speak for myself. Yes it’s true people have double standards, and it really irritates me. For me, I draw a big thick line between CULTURE and RELIGION - they are two separate things. Unfortunately in Pakistani culture we tend to incorporate things which have religious elements into our culture, and change begins to seep in. It’s all about self-checking and self-reformation.
