Decency – what price?
Posted on October 28th, 2010

Dr. Mrs. Mareena Thaha Reffai

Recently there ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ had been some efforts to bring abut a little decency into our decadent society by our president. I would like to draw his attention to a serious breach of decencyƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  in our society.

Wherever there is a function often there will be some scantily cladƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  lady dancers inaugurating it. Unlike those days where there was elegance and beauty combined with decency ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ in the dances, most of these functions nowadays consist of young girls dressed in what can be termed as an excuse for a dress, consisting often merely part of a bra and a low hipped thigh hugging transparent dress and the dance consisting ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ of just some vulgar suggestive gyrations. Some troops just keep changing their dresses, each more revealing than the earlier ones and doing the same gyrations in the name of dances.

Even little children in some nursery schools are copying these dresses ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢¢”š¬…” or are made to copy by their unthinking teachers and making a mockery of their innocence.

It is also horrifying to see these events taking place even at some youngstersƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢ functions like the cricketers or school celebrations and even elderly guests sittingƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  and watching these so called dances. What levels are we stooping to? Would they like their own daughters to perform like this and would they feel comfortable for their youngster sons to watch them, I wonder. DonƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢t the decent elders see what we are promoting amongst our youngsters? ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ This sort of exhibition ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ bring out the worst carnal feelings ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ and combined with alcohol as happens often, we are pushing our nation to moral disaster.

Islam totally forbids women and girls exposing their bodies leave alone gyrating in front of aping and gapingƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  men and dancing in front of men.

LetsƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢ hope the president will consider bringing in some decency into our ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ so called artists so that modesty and decorum prevails.

    My view is that Islam dress code for women is too harsh and Muslim women should have freedom of dress and freedom of expression as the rest of Sri Lankan women. Dr Reffai has mentioned Islam. Some have the view that any religion, it is a mind virus and takes control of the host and prevents unbiased thinking. More info on http://home.comcast.net/~plutarch/MindVirus.html

    Any dress code is better than Taliban barbarianism.

    Rajapoaksahs banned porn for everyperson including adults and now dress? Hope the government will not ban people’s free choice of dress like in cursed Islamic world where thousands die every year due to self created problems while their women sleep with American soldiers. Never in Sri Lanka.

    This writer always good at finding faults of Sri lanka. She cannot write something to save young Rizana Nafeek from execution in the barbaric muslim country called Saudi Arabia. This uncivilzed country is worshiped by muslim racist in Sri lanka. I wonder Mareena is one of them.

  4. Nihal Fernando Says:

    We do not want to create another Taliban in Sri Lanka. In Muslim countries girls and women not only face indignities and gender inequality in society. The men think that they are superior to women and the married women are treated by the husbands as their merchandise that could be misused and abused to their whims and fancies. Forced marriages, honour killings for the young girls.

  5. Weeraya Says:

    Oh what a typical radical islamic hooligan is this writer! It is upto anyone to dress the way they want to and no one can stop it! Understand? In Muslim countries like UAE, Oman, Jordan ladies are given freedom unlike what this writer tries to show. You better go back to the stone age Mareena. We live in the 21st century. You should refrain from using electricity and computers too as they are Western inventions. Anti western people like Mareena must also stop using cars as they are Western inventions too.

    Even in Malaysia and Indonesia, very moderate Muslims live unlike this hooligan Mareena!

  6. Weeraya Says:

    Also Mareena, Islam is not what you radical maniac depicts! It is far more understanding. Turkey proves it.

  7. Ben_silva Says:

    Islam has been used as a reason to kill innocent peace loving people. In Nalanda Buddhists monks were killed and temples destroyed and Buddhists massacred. See http://allahhasnofuture.blogspot.com/2010/01/islam-will-wipe-out-buddhism.html In Delhi, Hindus were killed and rivers of blood were formed. Religion could be used by misguided people to harm non believers. Religions belong to the past.

  8. Nanda Says:

    I am now convinced that this woman writer is an extremist. Sir lanka is not a uncivilized barbaric muslim regime like Saudi. This woman should go to Saudi and live hapily ever after rather than complaining our way of life.
    Why cannot the men control their emotions and stay calm even with 1000 girls dancing naked ? Man is the culprit. He can have 6 wives . Stupid Islam always blame the woman!

    Dr. Mrs. Mareena Thaha Reffai,

    I have always read this Doctor’s letter to the print and electronic media. Interesting to read but she should refrain from casting adverse remarks which hurts others. Suggests that she takes more interest on her patients rather than becoming a love of hatred.

    I don’t think one can quarrel with the essence of Dr Reffai’s lament about scantily clad dancers. These dancers certainly do not present an edifying sight. And if, as she says, they are adversely influencing school children and other young persons, organisers of these functions should think anew.

    Dr Reffai has noted that “Islam totally forbids women and girls exposing their bodies leave alone gyrating in front of aping and gaping men and dancing in front of men”. But in this connection, I must say I find it quite interesting that the belly dance – very much a dance of the Muslim Middle East – seems to involve just that!

    Islam is a very primitive religion conjured by a heretic called Mohomed who distorted Bilble & Jewish Bible to sexually exploit women. Hence please do not call such a barberic religion as redeeming.
