very easy to be suspicious. just ask the producers why they make such soap operas.
as-salamu alaykome wa rahmantullah wa barakatullah from Germany !
With great Interest did I read your Article on the Subject of Muslim on TV ! Since I´m betrothed with an Indonesian Muslima , al-hamdullilah , I´m very interested on Islam & Islamic Cultures in the world-greatest Muslim Population ! But in One Subject I have do object Akhmal : that of the Sarong as an non-muslim Clothing ! The Loincloth have an Tradition in Islam which can be traced back to the Time of the Prophet(sws) and the even pre-Islamic Times ! Only the Names of it varies from Izar to Lungi or Doti from Region to Region of the Islamic World !!! And you even can find it do be mentioned in the Hadeeth about the value of the Mahr(Dowry) as an poor Men offers his as Dowry for his choosen Bride and the Prophet reject it , since than allways on of them would be without Protection and Cover !!! Only the Names and Style of such an Cloth , as well as those of Headgear varies , but not the Fact that it is an all (!!!) traditional Islamic Cloth !!! As well as the Image of Muslim Male wearing Koko , are very similar do the Salwar Qamis, only it´s Length isnt reaching below the Knee.
In the other Subjects of Brother Akmal´s Statement I have do agree , since there is an ongoing Islamophobia since 9/11 , which we only can fight with true Faith and modest Life as commanded for Muslim in Sunna !!!
May Allah(swt) grant us Iman,Taqwa,Sadaqa & Iqama on this Way
