UK MP under fire for walking out of muslim wedding

I once went to a wedding (UK) recently and it was a so called segregated one, there seemed to be a different rule for the goreh. A couple of times I saw whole table full of pakistani women and white women and in the middle was a white dude. I have nothing against mixed weddings at least you know before hand its going to be mixed but this is stupid. Especially when you say that the wedding is going to be segregated when it is obviously not.

Now there’s this MP guy who went to one of his Muslim constituent’s wedding and they told him that there is strict segregation and that he couldn’t sit with his wife. I do admit, they should have told him before like on the card or something, but still he didn’t have to be a baby and walk out and now there’s all this press on muslims enforcing stuff blah blah blah, I hope he didn’t eat any of the Chaval. I wonder if his wife stayed?

The minister did the right thing. If he was not comfortable in this taliban type environment, it was his right to leave.

lol wtf?

:chai: bechara, couldnt he stay without his wife for a few hours :chai:

lol Khehkeshan's post.

Yeah and I'm sure the orthodox Jews who practice segregation at weddings are the Taliban too.

^^^lol nice one :D

theres nothing wrong with segregated weddings, the women dress their very best when attending weddings, for men to be in the hall with them therefore, it wouldnt be islamic.

as for this MP, he later tried to make some excuse about walking out of the wedding to make a point about the muslims of europe group being extemists or whatever. very lame.

Segregated weddings arnt stupid, i respect ppl who do it:D

Neither am I orthodox Jew or Taliban, so I don’t know what your point is?

hey, each to their own. Ive just never attended a segregated pak wedding.

wtf is a Muslim weddings is what I want to know. There is no universal "muslim" wedding.

Well you labeled segregated weddings as a Taliban type environment, which is jumping the gun a bit because there are other cultures which practice segregation too, are you saying that they are the Taliban as well? - That was my point.

Ok, I take it back. Khush?

Yeah! :D

Which brand of Islam does not allow a person to sit with his wife in a wedding ? What kind of idiot invites the MP's to this kind of idiotic weddings ?
This idiot who invited the MP should have known better that gora MPs do not follow his strict brand of Islam and he should not have invited this MP in the first place.

Re: UK MP under fire for walking out of muslim wedding

Whats the harm in seating the MP and his wife in the men's section, if they can't bear the separation?

nothing idiotic about segregated weddings mirch bhai. people like to socialise and enjoy themselves at weddings, women like to gossip lol, but theyre not gonna have fun there if the men are in the same room and the women have to wear full hijab are they? theres no point then in getting dressed up either. segregated weddings make it more comfortable personally i think.

That is fine everybody has a right to have their weddings and parties their way. But this guy either should have not invited this MP or should have told him up front that it is a segregated wedding.
When people of other faith wish to visit our masjid or we invite them , we let them know what we expect out of them and also what should they expect to see when they come visit.
Never ever any controversy arose because of following this strategy.

Muslims are under the gun anyway , why create controversies ? That MP also knew very well that many Muslims have segregated parties all the time , but he decided to give a lash and it is fault of this guy who did not spell out to that MP what was expected out of him and what should he be expecting.

agreed!

having segregated weddings is one's prerogative based on culture, beliefs and traditions... but one should know who to invite to such occassions... and someone who isn't even remotely connected to your strict ideology shouldn't be invited in the first place.
