Islam - Women's Rights Movement Not For Muslims

Why is the women's movement completely silent over issues surrounding Muslim women?

Kolkata: Indian tennis star Sania Mirza will receive extra security at the Sunfeast Open, commencing here on Monday, following threats by some Islamic clerics of stopping her from playing in the city unless ''she is properly dressed''.

Kolkata's Jamaet-e-Ulema-e-Hind has allegedly threatened to stop Sania from playing here if she wears dresses which are against ''Islamic traditions''.

Additional Commissioner of Police, Kolkata, Gautam Mohan Chakraborty said here today that police personnel would always guard Sania Mirza in view of a threat issued by an Islamic body over her skimpy attire.
