Muslim Fanatics Target Mohammed Shami For His Wife's Sleeveless Dress, Fans Come To His Defense

Nothing escapes the scrutinizing eyes of social media users. The latest to fall prey to their venom is cricketer Mohammed Shami who up till recently had managed to stay safe from religious bigotry.

Shami was mercilessly trolled by Muslim fanatics after he uploaded a few snaps of his wife, Hasin Jahan and himself on Facebook.

The pictures looked every bit beautiful but for some, it only aroused feelings of hate.

FB

And the hateful comments descended on his post instantaneously.

Twitter

Every comment chastised Kaif before the cricketer had had enough and posted the following tweet.

The comments are really really Shameful.
Support Mohammed Shami fully.

And while Facebook users showed their ugly side, Twitterati jumped to defend the cricketer and showed the bigots their rightful place.

They backed their defence with facts

People are telling Shami to keep his wife in pardah, Ironic that how Burqa is the enabler of max pre-marital sex in small town India.

Good on Shami and his loyal fans to speak out against those whose intolerance is the reason why our nation is trudging its way towards modernism.
