<b>Shooting of Sania ad in Mecca mosque un-Islamic: Darul-Uloom</b><!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->Saharanpur, UP, December 13: Taking strong exception to the shooting of an ad film featuring tennis player Sania Mirza at Hyderabad's Mecca Masjid, the ulema in Islamic seminary Darul-Uloom Deoband today said it was âun-Islamicâ and had âhurtâ the sentiments of the Muslim community.
"Shooting of any kind and photography in a mosque is un-Islamic and can not be permitted. Being a Muslim, Sania should have avoided it," Maulana Anzar Shah Kashmiri of the institution said.
"It is the sacred duty of every Muslim to follow the rules of Shariat (Islamic laws)," he said.

Last I heard India is a secular country. Islamic countries are on east and west of India.
