Sania Mirza condemned for promoting safe sex

Once again, rising Indian tennis star Sania Mirza is in trouble in her home country. Already having had a fatwa issued against her because she wears regulation tennis clothing and western-style sportswear, now Mirza has dared to promote safe sex in India. She told the Hindustan Times Leadership Summit: "So there are two issues here, safe sex and sex before marriage. You don't want me to tell you that you have to have safe sex, whether it is before or after marriage. Everyone must know what he or she is doing."

Mirza's remarks have now somehow been morphed into a promotion of sex before marriage, and protesters have burned her posters on the streets. Some have demanded an apology from her, and others have called her "un-Islamic." Mirza made her comment about safe sex only a day after she publicly supported Tamil film star Khushboo, who was taken to court for talking about pre-marital sex.
