Himesh Reshammiya Caught In A Burqa At The Ajmer Shrine
The BBC Headline piqued my interest - Indian Male Singer In Burqa Row
As the link loaded I wondered who the singer was and had he grabbed some burqa clad woman. But much to my surprise I found myself staring at a picture of Himesh Reshammiya wearing a burqa at the Ajmer Shrine.
Himesh was quick to apologize in case he had offended any one's sensibilities but said he wore the burqa to pray in peace since his fans at the main entrance gate of the shrine had mobbed him
The shrine of Hazrat Khwaja Moinuddin Hassan Chishti, a medieval Muslim saint, dominates the town of Ajmer.
The shrine draws followers from across India's faiths, including Hindus, Sikhs, Christians, Parsees and Jains.
Reshammiya created a stir at the shrine on Tuesday night when some devotees spotted him in a burqa. They took it up with the prayer attendants.
Though the act of wearing a woman's garb by Reshammiya may not get more than a few chuckles in Bollywood since crossing dressing is seen as a form of relief comedy in Bollywood movies but it may cause an uproar in the Muslim community.

Hardly!
The "peerless and fearless" leader of the "Red mosque" insurrection in pakistan was caught trying to slink away in a burqa after causing a mini-war.
He allegedly claimed that "conditions had become intolerable" in the mosque. Conditions, one may add, entirely of his making.
When muslims themselves do not hesitate to use the mosque for deadly purposes (as combat suits to hide guns and weapons), Himes-bhaai's benign efforts should cause nary a flutter.

True enough AG, it seems okay for women and 'men' alike to wear burqas
