Fatwa for tennis star who wears short skirts
By Peter Foster in New Delhi
(Filed: 10/09/2005) India's leading female tennis player has been subjected to a fatwa by a Muslim cleric for wearing short skirts and revealing tops on the international tennis circuit.

Sania Mirza comes from a devout Muslim family
|
Sania Mirza, 18, who became the first Indian woman to reach the fourth round of a Grand Slam at the US Open last week, is hugely popular in India. The fatwa - in effect, a demand that she cover up - was issued by a senior cleric of the Sunni Ulema Board, a little-known group. Similar fatwas have been issued against Mirza, who comes from a devout Muslim family, but none has ever gained popular support among India's 130 million Muslims. "The dress she wears on the tennis courts…leaves nothing to the imagination," Haseeb-ul-hasan Siddiqui told The Hindustan Times. "She will undoubtedly be a corrupting influence." He said she should follow the example of Iranian women who wore long tunics and headscarves to play in the Asian Badminton Championships. |

I hereby issue this counter-fatwa:
Sania Mizra is one of God's beautiful creature. It would be a mortal sin to cover her up with a burqa -- not to mention what it would do to her tennis career.
Check out a few Google Images.

These lunatic militant Islamist A$$holes ---- simply can't stop digging, even after they've reached Hell...
It is doubtful there can be another "religion" on Earth with as many lunatic "clerics" as we've seen in Islam....

"She will undoubtedly be a corrupting influence." One can only hope. I saw her match against Maria Sharapova, which was entertaining for a number of reasons. Sharapova won easily, but if Mirza can improve her consistency she'll do very well, and I'll be rooting for her knowing that every match she plays enrages these misogynistic savages.

A lot of guys have a fat wa for a short skirt. It's normal.

It will be a women's uprising that will finally bring down this unholiest of false religions.

The fatwa - in effect, a demand that she cover up . . . Sheesh, when are world leaders going to say, "enough is enough?" Anyone issuing such a fatwa should himself be covered up -- with six feet of dirt.

She also occasionally wears a T-shirt that reads:
You think I'm hot? No sh*t!
More power to her!
