A Moslem leader has said a British broadcasting company has been disrespectful to Moslem women and Islam after it aired photographs and information on its website of Moslem women wearing Moslem traditional dress and made nasty comments as well.
The BBC published the photos and nasty comments on its childrens site on Friday 21st January 2005 at 16:09 GMT and they are still there.
Moslem people like to observe the teachings of God as presented in Al-Qur'an such as in Qur'an [24:31} which tells Moslem women to "guard their modesty" and Qur'an [ 33:59] which says they must "draw their cloaks around them".
So they wear the Burqa which covers the whole body but you can still see their eyes.
But at that site that I mentioned the company showed a picture of a Pakistani woman who has got her head covered with underneath the comments
"Not all Muslims cover up in this way, while some wear it just whenever they like."
These comments means sometimes they dont feel like it. That is not nice to Moslems.
Imam Sadiq Musafir Boudane has sent a letter to the BBC asking them to change the comments but they did not reply.
It looks like those British broadcasters can do whatever they like whenever they like.
Not like the Moslem women.
