Muslim Cricketer refuses to give interview to underdressed anchor

[hinduwoman]

Underdressed of course according to him

Former South African Test skipper Hashim Amla refused to be interviewed by an Indian TV anchor as she was underdressed. According to a report on Abplive.in, the 32-year-old was unhappy with the anchor's short dress and low-neck top.
He put forward his condition to the organizers, who asked the anchor to return after being appropriately dressed.

So if he is such a staunch muslim what is he doing playing cricket which Muhammad had no idea of? Should he be off on jihads or herding camels?

He's just trying to please his elders I suppose.

I don't understand why expressed sexual repression is so important to Fundies. Must be something to learn there.

Or perhaps he's gay.

Please his elders? He's a 32 year old man.

Well, I'm willing to give him a pass on this. At least he's not blowin' shit up.

You apparently don't appreciate how religion typically works. You'd think a 32 year old would be a bit more mature, and I agree. Religion empowers people at the top by disempowering people at the bottom. But the people at the bottom - and everyone in religion is somewhere at the bottom and at the top at the same time - don't know it.

I don't really see much of a problem here. He has no obligation to give an interview to anyone who asks, so if someone doesn't like it that an anchor is underdressed or that an intern didn't pick the green M&Ms out of the bowl in the green room, then they're free to say no.

He's a weird little doofus, to be sure, but he's perfectly within his rights to be a weird little doofus.

If he didn't give his rationale for refusing a interview, he might have no problem.

But he's specifically discriminating against someone who doesn't believe the same way as he does.

What next? If she came back he'd then question her on if her male relatives are with her and if not, refuse to be interviewed by her yet again?

Give these religious nuts an inch and they'll take a mile.

Imagine when President Hilary Clinton meets with Muslim leaders who won't talk with her unless Bill Clinton is in the room.

She could always come back with, "Why are muslim men afraid of non-muslim women?"

I don't see how that would be a problem. There's no requirement for people to meet with the President and they can be foisted off on the assistant to the deputy undersecretary of paper shuffling and have their issues brought to the President's attention in a few months or be ignored completely. That's fine.

Same with the cricketer. If he wants to refuse an interview with someone, for whatever reason, he can do it. He doesn't need to take every interview that comes along.

 

[barbos]

To be consistent he have to demand the same from people going to watch his game. So if the spectators are under-dressed he should refuse to play.

 

[T.G.G. Moogly]

To be brutally honest, if this guy had a sister who dressed like that he'd probably kill her because it offended his honor. Pretty sick shit.

Exactly. He can pose about how important his religion is until he needs someone more than they need him. When he goes to endorse some product and the director has the clout to dress how she wants, and he can either get paid and get along with her, he'll also have the right to storm out of there and not get the check. His choice.

 

[Valjean]

If he objects to the interview I'm sure the TV anchor could find something else to report on. There's a lot of serious stuff going on in the world; important issues. Why worry about a fluff piece about a sports player?

If the TV audience is really interested in games I'm sure the presenter could find some kids on the street playing with balls and sticks and such to interview.

If he is looking for decorum from the crowd, he's well advised to avoid touring Australia.


That young lady appears to be a touch underdressed.

Unless we are mind readers, there is no way of telling if he would do such a thing.

He may be 32 years old, but if you have been in an intensely misogynistic religion most of your life (watched women treated as subhuman, forced to dress to conform to men's ultra-conservative expectations, and raised where women have next to zero rights) it really damages your ability to relate to them if they're not maintaining their "place". I've watched men react to this before, and to keep from acting utterly like embarrassed 12 year old boys, they react with scorn, anger and righteous indignation. How well can you maintain loving, respectful relationships with mothers, wives, sisters and nieces when they're typically dressed in cloth bags, for example? By the way, this is not Islam specific, but applies to Ultra-orthodox judaism and certain types of Christianity as well.

There was an Olympic incident some years ago where a male muslim athlete said exactly that about a female athlete who he deeded was inappropriately covered.

So you're right, we can't be sure about specific people, but the sentiment is certainly no secret among such sick fucks.
