Sanity reigns. From the AP: Top Muslim clerics support Indian tennis star over short skirt controversy
Top Muslim clerics came out in support of India's teen tennis sensation Sania Mirza, days after a Muslim group in her hometown issued an edict describing her short skirts and sleeveless shirts as un-Islamic.
"What Sania wears in (the) tennis court is the demand of the game," said Khalid Rashid of the All India Muslim Personal Law Board, which arbitrates over religion-related issues for more than 160 million Muslims living in this country.
"Perhaps, the fatwa (edict) was issued to gain cheap publicity," Rashid told The Associated Press.
