I asked the same question but the other way round … I also gave a solution to it. For those who see it and cannot avoid it should do something about it.

Are we saying that accepting something is the same as saying it is acceptable? If not then those who see it should do something about it … and it is better to do something about it in quiet … if we make a fuss about it then it can become a form of “encouragement” for others who are only thinking about doing it to start doing it.

It may be that more conservatives are engaged in evil than the less conservatives I don’t know perhaps you know better, but there is sure a lot of wisdom in keeping evil supressed from public knowledge so long as at the same time when we see it we act and do something to stop it. If we just talk about it are we talking about it merely to remove the taboo (i.e. make the problem seem acceptable) or to correct the problem itself?

Peace, Psyah,

I totally get what you mean, and I agree completely, from the religious point of view. Obviously, in all matters, religion comes first. I would NEVER tolerate any dear or near one of mine crossing the boundaries set by religion and indulge into any such abhor-some activity. But do I react the same when its about Ribba, Shirk, Disobedience to parents and the other Gunah-e-Kabeera’s? Do we, really? BECAUSE, there are a few things our society accepts and assimilates, and a few it doesnt. Is it a fair approach then? I would call it hypocrisy and doule standards and would definitely voice against. The sooner we wake up from this slumber of belief that what we think* or feel* is right, the rest is not our problem, the better. It definitely IS our problem because, MY CHILDREN will live in the same society AND I dont want them to do stuff I see the girls doing today. But to eliminate this evil, we need to identify atleast. And it disgusts me like anything when I read such naive remarks here that its only 1/100 here. HELL NO. If you ask me, honestly, its about 50-70%. The ratio in married women might be less because of the lack of opportunities and their compromise with their married life. And again, much goes under the hood even then.

Now what am I doing in my own place? Alhamdolillah, Im much satisfied claiming I am doing something, if not much. My students do listen to me, they have this respect for me and I do put it into their ears off and on that they should guard their honour and their family’s. I think if even 2 or 4 out of 100 actually listen to me, and step backward, my life is worth it.
