Description:

Scottish Actor Atta Yaqub, star of Ken Loach's controversial film Ae Fond Kiss, goes on a journey to discover the cosmopolitan city of Karachi in Pakistan. Immersing himself in the glamorous world of supermodels and slick TV shows, he finds his misconceptions about the country his parents came from challenged and his opinions changed. Arriving in the country for the first time in 20 years, Atta gets himself into a press conference for the Lux Style Awards -- Pakistan's equivalent of the Oscars. Befriending A list stars, he finds a country in the grip of a television boom. At one of the myriad satellite stations broadcasting a diet of music, fashion, and drama he sees how television is influencing the aspirations of modern urbanites. To get in on the act, he tries out for a part in a top drama, but in a toe curling audition, finds his Urdu is not up to scratch. He meets some young men obsessed with modifying sports cars and asks they think of the more traditional art form of truck modification. Culture, they say, is not interesting for them. Dazzled by the highly skilled workmanship that goes into truck decoration, Atta begins to suspect that modern Pakistan is out of touch with its own traditions. To investigate further, he tries his hand at modelling. Eager to find out exactly how far girls will go when it comes to flesh content, he meets the country's top models. However, even the most modern Pakistanis, it seems, are not willing to bear flesh. Being modern he learns, does not mean being western.

Dear muslim sisters take the likes of Aisha RadhiAllahanha as a model, and dear brothers take the likes of Khalid bin Waled RadhiAllahAnhu as your role model. Wa alaikom salam Allahu Mut'aan.

We have already seen the earthquake which took many lifes as a sign of Allah's anger and a warning to the inhabitants of the land. Insh'Allh the good were taken freeing them from the fitna of the 'modernists'. The women modelling are whores as the only talent they have is to sell their bodies and the 'men' are.... Well their gender is questionable. People will be raised on yowm al qiyama with those who they considered as their role model.

Salam to those who follow the manhaj of the salaf and who fear not to express their displeasure with those who prefer the way of the disbelievers, As this is from Tawhid as Allah informs us in Al Quran Al Kareem, Surah Al Muj'adillah ayah 22. Pakistan was created to provide the muslims a homeland - A land in which muslims could live according to AL Quran wa Sunnah, Allah fulfilled the wish of the muslims and now see what the muslims have done of this area? This is nifaq.

Apparently you are too juvinile or just plain stupid to know the meaning of the word Modern. I for one am not going to waste my time explaining it to you, but i am deeply saddned to know how little of your brain you do use. What a waste, but then again, Allah knows better!
