What would come to your mind if i link designers with a purely Islamic show? I don't know about you but it certainly makes me lose the credibility of the discussion of the show. HUM TV has started a transmission by the name of "Islam Hum Sab Ke Liye" starring Maria B and Khaled Zaheer. I mean Maria B dressed up with a dupatta on her head acting all Islamic was kind of a turn off for me.
I tracked the show down on Maria B's profile page on facebook and just as i expected,people's comments on the show advert were more negative than positive. To Quote, one of the fans had even commented that they are creating their own version of Islam to accommodate themselves. I could not agree more.
And for those who think the linkage between Maria B and the Ramadan transmission is great, don't think too much. Why? Because the positive comments on the programme relate to her looking beautiful, dresses looking awesome and her way of speaking being admirable. I mean hello!! Viewers are to concentrate on the Islamic preachings being discussed and not the attire. I wouldn't blame them. This is what you get when you have a fashion designer as your host!
Several questions rummage through my brain when i try to make sense out of it. Questions like, would this mean that Maria B will have her new stock of clothes as Shariah Compliant? Can we assume that there will be no rip off strategies for the customers? Are all clothes going to be full sleeves and non-transparent?
For all those who think i'm anti-Maria B.. Relax, i like a few of her dresses.But that still does not qualify her as the right host for a Ramadan based Islamic transmission.
If someone has answers to my questions, feel free to post and comment!
