"..and one more half circle down." "What is this now?" "'B'" "'B' - 'B'" "You are a guest and behave like one." "Don't check my patience." "Do you want to make our girls like you?" "Dear.. you teach me." "What's the matter?" "I think I have to return back again." "Don't worry." "We'll return." "All went waste." " Yes, true." "Go." "Mariam, leave all this and run away." " What?" "Yes, run away." "You won't get a chance like this again." "Both of them are in the city.." "..and will return in the evening." "Run!" "Allah!" "Allah!" "Allah!" ".." "Allah!" "Allah!" "Allah!" "Allah!" "Allah!" "Allah!" "Allah!" "Allah!" "Allah!" "Allah!" "Allah!" "Allah!" "Allah!" "Allah!" "Allah!" "Allah!" "Allah!" "Allah!" "Allah!" "Allah!" "Allah!" "Allah!" "Allah!" "Allah!" "Allah!" "Allah!" "Allah!" "Allah!" "Allah!" "Allah!" "Allah!" "Allah!" "Allah!" "Allah!" "Allah!" "Allah!" "Mariam, stop." "Allah!" "Allah!" "Allah!" "Allah!" "Allah!" "Allah!" "What now?" "There is just one option left.. if you agree." "What?" " This." "Have you gone mad?" "What else can you do?" "We'll see." "Let's rush." "Allah!" "Allah!" "Allah!" "Allah!" "Allah!" "Allah!" "Allah!" "Allah!" "Allah!" "Allah!" "Allah!" "Allah!" "Allah!" "Allah!" "Allah!" "Alakh Shah!" "Stop!" "Wait!" "Allah!" "Allah!" "Allah!" "Allah!" "Allah!" "Allah!" "Allah!" "Allah!" "Allah!" "Allah!" "Allah!" "Allah!" "Allah!" "Allah!" "Allah!" "Allah!" "Allah!" "Allah!" "What's on your mind?" "Had Haji sahib not been away we would be in Peshawar right now.." "..and wonder where Mariam would have reached by now." "I don't know what's right and what's wrong." "How long can we keep her forcefully?" "She'll escape the moment she gets a chance." "It's only a matter of few days." "Once she bears a child she'll be here for good." "How will she bear a child?" "I don't have that kind of relationship with her." "What are you saying?" "I didn't marry her for physical relations." "What rubbish are you talking?" "Get up." "What?" " Come with me." "Get up." "It's the law of nature." "Children can do wonders." "Without kids every second marriage would end in a divorce." "But Maulana she hates me." "She doesn't even talk to me." "God must be repenting to have made you a man." "He is not interested in guns." "Let's get him a sling." "Let him kill some birds so that he becomes a man." "First of all take it out of your head that she is older than you." "She is older than you." "She is a woman and a woman can never be equal to man." "I hate you." "I know that." "But I am going to finish your hatred once and for all." "I never wanted to force anything on you.." "..but you have compelled me." "Just prior to that huge explosion we all heard and.." "The tower has literally collapsed.." "..as I'm making my way to the foot of the.." "We heard a very loud explosion." "We looked up.." "The building began to collapse before us.." "Hello." " Hello." "Mansoor." "Yes dad?" "Where have you been?" "We were worried!" "We have been calling for so long why don't you pick up the phone?" "Dad. I went late to bed." "Couldn't wake up." "is everything ok?" "This news on TV has terrified us." "I don't know dad. I have just switched the TV on and seen." "Yes, dear." "Be careful son." "God knows how Americans will react to this." "Hey!" "Nice apartment." "Thank you." "Oh I'll just pick them." "What is this?" "Let's see what it is." "is this true?" "Well to tell you honestly.." "I don't know.." "..but on the mere basis of logic it can't be true." "You see how can Islam allow its followers to get.." "..married in Jews and Christians.." "..and yet tell them not to trust them?" "Don't you think that sounds absurd?" "Yes it seems so but.." "..provided what you are saying about marriage is true." "Of course it is." "Why, do you have any doubts?" "I just always thought.." "..that was why you were avoiding a commitment." "No. lt's not the religion." "It's the culture." "Look Janie." "The fact may be that.." "..I have more feelings for you.." "..than you have for me.." "..but I don't see them.." "..because there is no point." "You see we are two different people." "From two very different cultures." "So what?" "Mixing of two wines.." "..could result in a new different flavor." "What's the problem with.." "..looking ahead for a change?" "I am." "I am looking ahead." "You are the one who is not." "I am sorry." "Look Janie. I know." "You don't say it but I know." "You've stopped drinking." "You've quit smoking because of me." "And who knows tomorrow.." "..you might cover your legs." "But this chain of compromises.." "..is just going to go on and on.." "..and one day you'll.." "..get sick of me." "What if I don't?" "Suppose l am that.." "..crazy girl who thinks.." "..nothing is more important.." "..than compromising for your relationship?" "I hate that phrase." "I am like that." "Take me or leave me." "I think it is nonsense." "In fact, it would make me happier to do what I could for the one I love." "Unless of course I thought.." "..that my man is taking me for a ride." "Then I'll kill him." "What about kids?" "Won't we have kids?" "Of course." "As many as you like." "Yes but what would be their names?" "Muslim names or Christian names?" "What culture would they belong to?" "And most important.." "..what faith would they follow?" "Muslim faith or Christian faith?" "Oh but you forgot something." "When they die, would they be buried.." "..the Muslim way or Christian way?" "Stop it Janie." " Ad when they go to heaven.." "No." "Our children can't go to heaven.." " Stop it!" "When they go to hell.." "..would that be a Muslim hell or Christian hell?" "Stop it Janie." "You are making fun of me." "No, I am not." "But I don't like your negative attitude." "You have no right.." "..to insult my feelings." "Feel like I am begging.." "..you to marry me." "And I am not." "I've got to go." " Janie!" "Hey Janie!" "Janie!" "I hope it's a boy." "I just hope it's a boy." "No more girls please." "No more girls." "Hi. ls Janie there?" "Yeah she is." "Janie." "Looks like there.." "..is a very nice package at the door." "What?" "What is it?" "What is that?" "A man?" "Well, looks like a man to me." "Hi" " Hi." "Could you get dressed really quickly?" "We have to go." "is everything ok?" "Yeah. I have just got a call from my parents." "We can get married now." "What?" " Yes." "You want more?" " Yes." "It's really nice." "It is called Biryani." "In my country no wedding.." "..is complete unless we have Biryani." "You want something else?" "The yogurt." "It's not too spicy for you, is it?" "I'll like it." "Hey, you terrorist, stop!" "You shameless Muslims." "Why do we have to pay the price for your terrorism?" "What was my Balbir's fault that.." "..the Americans killed him in Arizona mistaking him for a Muslim?" "He was my friend." "Killed." "Just because he had a beard!" "The police wants us to shave our beards for safety." "Why should we shave our beards?" "Should we abandon our religion?" "Stop." "Stop." "Shut up!" "You are innocent lady." "You don't know anything." "He is one of those terrorists." "Why is he enjoying his life with you?" "is this American justice?" "He is messing with Americans and Americans are messing with us." "You filthy terrorist!" "Allah!" "Allah!" "Allah!" "Allah!" "Allah!" "Allah!" "Allah!" "Allah!" "Allah!" "Name Mansoor Hasan Khan." "Country Pakistan." "Home town Lahore." "Came to USA in.." "..the year 2000 to study.. music!" "Wow!" "Now in contrast to.." "..all other Pakistani students.." "..who come here and work.." "..at gas stations and grocery stores.." "to pay their living.." "..and live in groups of 8 to 10.." "..Mr. Mansoor not only.." "..lives by himself in a luxury apartment.." "..in an exclusive neighborhood.." "..but also in contrast to.." "..his fellow countrymen.." "..who travel by subway and bus.." "..he drives a convertible sports car." "Who pays for all of this?" "Nobody sir." "Before coming to the US.." "..I worked and saved money.." "..for five years so I could live comfortably.." "Besides sir i don't belong to a poor family." "Though you do belong to a poor country!" "Now I do understand.." "..how difficult it must be.." "..for you to live on this.." "..earth while your heart is in the sky!" "I don't know what you mean by that sir." "According to the university admission forms.." "..filled out by you Mr. Mansoor.." "..all your hobbies are all related to flying." "Flying kites." "Flying planes." "is that correct?" "Yes sir, but.." " Don't worry I am not going to accuse you.." "..for crashing your plane into the Twin Towers." "You didn't do it." "Obviously." "But in such missions those who perform the act.." "..are much less important than those who plan it." "And you are an intelligent man." "Aren't you?" "What is your position among the planners of Osama Bin Laden?" "Believe me sir." "Believe me sir, I am telling you the truth." "I've only heard his name and seen his face on CNN.." "..for the first time after.." "..after September 11th." "I have never even heard of Al-Qaida before." "I am an artist sir." "I don't like those who kill people." "To kill people sir.." "..you really have to be a die-hard religious fanatic." "And that I am not." "You have no idea what you have gotten yourself into." "You have no idea who you are dealing with." "I do understand that you need time to asses the situation." "I'll come tomorrow." "Think." "The sooner you speak.." "..the better it will be for you." "Yes" "No, this is big news." "And wait for the warning." "Looks like the guy we arrested is a big fish." "I need your permission to go 115 on him." "lmmediately." "Do it." "Thank you" "Wait outside." "Get back and stand against the wall." "At the time of your arrest we found this on your arm." "Can you tell me what is written on it?" "No sir." "It's in Arabic." "I can read Arabic but I.." "..don't understand it." "Interesting." "You can read a language but can't understand it." "That's hell of ajob!" "But it's normal in Pakistan sir." "Majority of the people read it but they don't understand it." "Strange. lsn't it?" "I mean why the hell do you learn to read it.." "..if you don't want to understand?" "Because.." "I don't know sir." "It sounds absurd but believe me, its true." "Do you know what it means?" "No sir. I don't." "O God, protect me, and bless me with success.." "..and bless me with strength to overcome the non-Muslims." "Sir." "I am sure my mother wouldn't know about it." "She.." "She must have got it from.." "From a religious man or something." "Who could possibly be working for Al-Qaida and passed it.." "..through you to another Alqaida man here!" "No sir.." " Possibly!" "I think you are.." " Making up stories!" "Look I am just trying to make you realize how.." "..stupid the stories you telling me are." "Now look.." "..even a child could see that it's a map." "No, sir." " These are roads.." "..in a grid." "The way New York is setup in a grid.." "..and don' tell me you don't know what this 9 and this 11 mean!" "If it was such an important map.." "..I would not be carrying it after September 11, sir." "It had been there for so long that.." "..I completely forgot about it." "That is exactly what I think." "I think you forgot about it." "I swear, sir." "I swear, sir, I am not lying." "You swear?" "!" " Yes, sir." "To God?" "Upon God, sir." "Bastards!" "You kill in the name of God and then you lie in his name too!" "Shout in God's name!" "God is great!" "Previously, Americans were only helping the enemies of Taliban." "Previously, America was only helping the enemies of Taliban." "Now they have come themselves to fight." "They are blinded by their power." "Like all other Muslim countries.." "..the Pakistani government too has kneeled down." "But we won't bow down to them." "We prefer to be martyrs of Islam." "Shout in God's name!" "God is great!" "He, who gave you life and strength to enjoy it.." "..he wants it back now." "It's the time to fight in His name." "But religion doesn't believe in forcing its followers." "I am closing my eyes for a while." "Those who prefer their lives over God and his Prophet.." "..may leave in silence." "Those present at the opening of my eyes.." "..will be the candidates for God's acceptance." "Praise be to God!" "You will depart tonight.." "..some Arab and Afghan warriors will come to take you along." "May God be with you!" "Amen." "What will be the name of the child?" "Name of the child?" "Only boys should have names." "What's in a name for girls?" "I'll call her Shah Guli." "Did Sher Shah tell you when would they return?" "Are you planning to escape?" "You don't have a chance.." "Agha Jee has remained here just to keep an eye on you." "Please give it to Agha Jee to post it." "Tell him it's for my father." "Alright." "Shall I fight or take care of you?" "Sarmad, what's wrong with you?" "I can't kill anyone." "Then why did you come?" "I came!" "Now that you are here, you better fight." "No!" " This is Jihad (holy war)." "Sheikh Saab!" "Sheikh Saab!" "Sheikh Saab!" "No!" "Praise be.." "..to God." "Finally you've become a man." "What kind of Jihad is this?" "Sarmad, stop." "Sarmad!" "I'm being kept at the house of" "Gulbarg Khan at a small village called Zakakhair." "It's on the border between Pakistan and Afghanistan." "I love you, Mary." "We've to get our foreign officer involved." "And this has to be done as quickly as possible." "You must understand." "That if this thing would've got to the press or to her father.." "..she would be removed from her current address." "And we would never know her whereabouts." "I'm not going to let that happen." "Get me on the next plane to Pakistan." "That's the worst thing you could do to her." "Your presence there would infuriate even.." "..those Pakistanis who would.." "..otherwise have some sympathy for her." "If somebody has to go there.." "..then she should be the one." "I don't think you understand the gravity of the situation." "I need to speak to the minister himself." "Could you please state the reason why do you want to see him?" "It's my daughter, she's a British national." "It's about here safety." "Malik Sahib, we want our warm relationship to continue.." "..and I wish it remains like this." "Why are you making an issue out of such a small thing?" "Although the political agent knew what our reply would be.." "..yet he brought you down here." "We must understand the Government's position." "Malik Sahib, we're not demanding return of a thief.." "..dacoit or a killer." "This is a very sensitive matter." "The British government is involved in it." "That girl is a British citizen." "She is our daughter now and our son is away to Jihad." "You are not getting it at all." "You're the one who is not getting it." "This can lead to bloodshed here." "Anyway you will have to handover the girl." "Are you threatening me?" "Not at all. lt's our compulsion." "Anyway, have some food and relax." "Only a grand meeting of elders will decide." "Huh!" "Hand over the girl to them!" "If Americans are evil then the Northern Alliance are no different." "A friend of an enemy is an enemy too, even if it is a Muslim." "And killing such Muslims is as good as killing infidels." "You!" "You have failed me." "Go!" "Get out of my sight." "Why do you hate America?" "I don't hate it.. in fact.." "In fact?" "In fact I love America." "I think it is a great country." "Alright let me rephrase the question." "Why do Muslims hate America so much?" "I don't know." "Why don't you tell me?" "I think they are jealous of our progress." "Bullshit!" "Bullshit!" "Your progress is the only thing they respect you for." "Muslims hate Americans because they think.." "..that America is on some countries backs.." "..that are killing Muslims and doing injustice to them." "The argument of Osama Bin Laden!" "Sounds like Bin Laden." "I don't know what his argument is." "I am telling you what Muslims think." "Why do Muslims believe in terrorism?" "They don't?" "Not All Muslims are terrorists." "Maybe." "But all terrorists are Muslims." "Because Muslims are the only nation.." "..that have been subject to injustice." "Jews are killing them in Palestine." "Serbs and Russians have done it in Bosnia and Chechnya." "Enemies are killing in Kashmir." "What else do you expect Muslims to do in return?" "They have been waiting for justice for the past fifty years." "Look we have nothing against you." "You answer my questions truthfully.." "..and I give you my word that.." "..I will help you to get out of here safe and sound." "Unfortunately you have not answered my first question." "So I can't go on to next question." "And my first question is.." "..what is between you and Osama Bin Laden?" "I don't know." "Maybe he is gay and he likes me!" "Your sense of humor is still alive." "I like it." "But I have noticed that you have stopped calling me, sir." "And I was beginning to enjoy it." "You don't deserve it." "Greetings, sir!" "Greetings!" "I am Major Shahzaib." "is everything alright?" "Cover yourselves." "Sarmad, come out." "Greetings!" "This too you must have done in the name of Islam." "I am taking Mariam back." "You may come along if you like." "Else it's your choice." "Mariam, come." "You won't be chained to the roof any more." "All these walls are your writing board." "Use these charcoals to write everything.." "..that comes to your mind the whole day." "The Agent will visit you every evening.." "..to see what's in your mind." "Understand?" "Understand!" "Take your clothes off." "Why?" "Can't you hear?" "I said take your clothes off." "I am quite capable of doing it if you won't." "Keep going!" "Aren't you going to show me your best part?" "You fat assed bitch." "Mary, pick up the phone, its Dave." "Hey baby!" "Things are going to be absolutely fine." "In a day or two you will be here with me." "No, baby." "You have to wait." "Some weeks or maybe for months." "For two years when I was in that prison.." "I thought of nothing else but.." "..how to get back at my father and that cousin of mine." "I am going to make them pay for what they did to me." "I am going to take them to court." "Maulana was very mad at you for abandoning Jihad." "But he has forgiven you at my request." "You'll be bailed out in a while.." "..and God willing you'll win the case too." "Maulana will be there to defend you in the court." "You just sign this document." "What's this?" "Maulana has a point which will turn the whole case around." "We too, will file a case, for the child's custody." "He says Mariam may well be a British citizen.." "..but the child is a Pakistani." "If we let her go to Britain with Mariam.." "..she too will become a non-Muslim like her mother." "It's out of the question." "We can kill the child but can't let her go." "Dad, any news of Mansoor?" "O beloved!" "O beloved darling!" "O beloved!" "O beloved darling!" "On my knees, alive but dead." "Look at the invisible blood, I'm dead." "I'm not gone, my mind has drifted." "Don't expect much, I'm wrapped and twisted." "The clouds gathered every time, but it rained not once." "My beloved never came close to me, the night passed on." "'We reject all cruel practices!" "'We reject all cruel practices!" "'We reject all cruel practices!" "Stop shameful activities under the cover of NGOs." "Stop shameful activities under the cover of NGOs." "Stop shameful activities under the cover of NGOs." "We have two cases to hear." "But both are so interconnected that.." "..the Court has decided to hear them simultaneously." "Basically we need to answer two questions." "One, that is it Islamic to marry a girl.." "..without her consent?" "And two, that if it is not.." "..then who would keep the child born out of such marriage?" "The first witness to appear.." "..from the accused is Maulana Tahiri." "The prosecution lawyer may proceed." "I'll tell the truth, nothing but the truth." "I have come here to show you respect." "Otherwise, neither this court is Islamic.." "..nor anyone here knows Islam more than I do." "Priest, your betterment lies in staying quiet." "We've taken advice from the superior for our safety." "Who are the superiors?" "You surely would've asked the one who is popular these days." "Preacher?" "What kind of superior are they?" "These are excuses of the people who go on the wrong path." "It is worthless and useless." "Muslim community is going through a rough phase.." "..they are trying to resolve this by praying." "The Muslim kids who should carry guns.." "..they've been taking care of the people whom they should kill." "That is the reason Iqbal said.." "A mullah's prayer is different from a Mujahid's." "Your words are respected." "But.." "Shall we proceed if you don't mind?" "Priest, tell us.. do you accept that you lured Sarmad into.." "..forcibly marrying Mariam?" "By the grace of God!" "Yes. I accept it not once but a thousand times." "It's the goal that's important not how one achieves it." "What a strange thing to say!" "Tell me, is Jihad a noble cause?" "Of course." "Why do you raise funds for it then?" "You may well barge into a bank and loot it." "The goal is noble!" "Shut up!" "Being a lawyer it is your job to twist arguments." "Let's not stray away from the case." "The important thing was to stop her.." "..from going out of the circle of Islam.." "..not asking her consent." "Islam doesn't allow girls to marry non-Muslims." "Oh I see!" "In case a Muslim girl wants.." "..to marry a non Muslim.." "..should she abandon Islam?" "Leaving Islam would make her a denier.." "..and punishment for deniers is death." "So there is no way out?" "Not at all." "Wrong!" "Absolutely wrong." "Islam doesn't preach this." "It is absolutely wrong." "Leaving this situation aside.." "..tell me if asking a girl's consent.." "..before marrying her allowed in Islam or not?" "She could be asked but.." "..only her parents would decide." "Then why ask her at all?" "Shame!" "Shame!" "Shame!" "Order!" "Order!" "These laughing females who are enjoying my insult.." "..belong to the NGO community." "In their circles it's the other way round.." ".their girls don't bother to consult parents." "They only inform after getting married." "Mom, I got married yesterday." "Shout in the name of God!" "Shout in the name of Prophet Muhammad!" "Order!" "Order!" "This court respects you a lot, Maulana." "But you must not forget.." "..that you are not delivering a sermon in your mosque." "Nor is it a place for poetry reading." "Maulana, let's look into another aspect of the case." "You made the boy quit music." "By the grace of God, yes." "Painting and music both are forbidden in Islam." "But what if a Muslim boy wants to become a painter or musician.." "..what should he do?" "Nothing. ls there nothing else to do in this world?" "But many Muslims sing and paint." "Muslims even drink." "They gamble as well." "It's an Un-lslamic society." "And it's an Un-lslamic Government." "Let a true Islamic government come into power." "Such Muslims will be whipped." "Thank you, Maulana." "You haven't written anything yet." "I love USA." "Son of a bitch!" "Listen!" "I am here to see Maulana Wali." "Please wait upstairs." "He'll come in a while." "O fate, tell me just this." "Tell me just this, why are you annoyed with me?" "What have I done?" "Joy to others, sorry to me, why this partiality?" "What has come upon you.." "Greetings!" "Greetings!" "Be seated!" "The spring has arrived in everybody's garden.." "It's almost the time for prayer." "If it's something short we can talk about it now.." "..or you'll have to wait." "Why call it prayer?" "I think it's a mere exercise." "You do it now or later what does it matter?" "Very interesting." "Someone who dares to call my prayer an exercise.." "..is either a saint or an extremely dejected one." "The High Court requested you to appear for a statement." "But you refused." "Yes." "Actually I don't want to get involved in these things." "It's a total waste of time." "So what you're saying is that.." "..a court may give the death sentence to an innocent.." "..but your prayers must not be disrupted!" "Are you ajournalist?" "Are you a lawyer?" "Or from an NGO?" "Who I am is irrelevant." "Why do the women in this country have to go to the NGOs for support?" "What other option do they have?" "I am sorry." "This might offend you." "But it's easy to be in a room and pray." "But to speak the truth and suffer for it is very difficult." "You know what, I am going to hold your collar up there.." ".. and I will tell God.." "..that this man had all the time in the world for prayers.." "..but didn't spare a minute to support an innocent." "You haven't eaten." "You'll die if you don't?" "I told you." "Muslims don't eat pork." "You are right." "How can pigs eat their own meat?" "By the way would you be able to tell if it is pork if I didn't tell you?" "No, I've never tasted it." "That's what you think." "Give it back." "Give it back, you pig." "Give it back!" "Maulana, we're grateful that you are here." "All the twelve books written by you are here on my table.." "..and these have been a great help to me in this case." "Please educate us from an Islamic point of view that.." "..is a Muslim women is allowed to marry a non Muslim?" "Marrying Jews and Christians is allowed but it's better not be done." "Would you please elaborate?" "God doesn't encourage it." "But God doesn't encourage liars and drunkards, too." "Do we kick liars and drunkards out of Islam?" "The copy of the girl's statement given to me.." "..I have studied it thoroughly ln her case, the very question of right and wrong doesn't arise." "Because she is not a Muslim in the first place." "What are you saying Maulana?" "Her father's name is Hussain Shah." "He is a Syed." "is that it?" "is it enough just to have a Muslim name?" "She was born in a Christian country." "Brought up by Christian women." "Was given a Christian name." "The father kept bringing her mothers without marriage.." "..and you are blaming her of doing something Un-lslamic." "Good God!" "It is like scolding a medical student.." "..for not being able to perform a surgery." "So who do you think is to be blamed?" "One is the girl's father.." "..and the other is a very respected Maulana.." "..who presented an absolutely wrong picture of Islam.." "..and made him do a sinful act in pursuit of God's approval." "Do you mean that a father cannot marry off his daughter.." "..as per his wish?" "Only as per his wish?" "Absolutely not." "And Islam permits a girl to marry a man of her choice?" "Permits!" "it is her right." "It is her birth right." "Open the book." "Take Nasai, Vol 2, chapter The Book on Marriage." "Page 403." "A woman came to the Prophet with the complaint.." "..that her father had gotten her married without asking her.." "..and that she did not like her husband." "Without taking a moment to think.." "..the Prophet offered her to finish the marriage right away." "The women replied 'l don't want a divorce now.' l just wanted to know my rights." "Look in another book of Hadees Bukhari volume 3.." "..chapter book on marriage page no 94." "Khunsa, daughter of Khizan says.." "..my father had gotten me married without taking my consent." "I did not like my husband." "I went to the Prophet and he got me out of that marriage." "But Maulana, why can't you appreciate the reason.." "..why Hussain Shah got her married." "And appreciate Maulana Tahiri who converted Sarmad.." "..who sang and danced, and wore jeans.." "..and was westernized.." "..into a dedicated follower of the Holy Prophet." "Attire?" "Islamic attire?" "And music?" "!" "You have touched upon two very important subjects." "Let's take music first." "I have plenty of arguments in favor of music.." "..but I wish to present only one.." "..which rules out the need for any further arguments." "Tell me how many messengers were sent by God?" "124,000.00" "And out of those how many were blessed with books?" "Only four." "So one thing is decided that in God's eyes.." "..those four ranked higher than the rest." "Indeed." "All these four were also blessed with miracles." "Our Prophet's Miracle is the Quran itself." "Moses was able to part the sea into two." "Jesus could give life to the dead." "And what did David get?" "Music." "Such a melodious voice." "And such masterly playing of instruments.." "..that mountains would sing along." "Birds from all over the world would rush towards his voice." "Have a look at the Psalms." "You will find details.." "..of music scales and the instruments he played.." "..in songs to praise God." "is it logical that.." "..God would choose an impure thing to be praised in?" "And would he bless one of his dearest.." "..messengers with something impure?" "is it possible that would our Prophet hate music.." "..and yet ask his wife Ayesha?" "The tribe where wedding is taking place.." "..they are very fond of music.." "..have you sent some female singers along with the wedding procession?" "Would our Prophet hate music and.." "..yet praise Abu Musa Ashari's rendering of Quran by saying.." "..seems like God has placed David's harp in your throat." "Let's take up the attire now." "You said.." "westernized youngsters and Islamic attire." "So sad!" "So sad!" "How wrongly have we mixed up religion and culture." "Dressing is part of culture not of religion at all." "How is it possible that.." "..a religion sent for.." "..all times and for the whole universe.." "..would insist on a uniform?" "But we are so innocent.." "..that if someone embraced Islam in Alaska.."
