It is sad that people have now found religion as another means to satisfy their egos and to belittle others. If you want to truly devoted to the One then be humble and do not be ostentatious - do not be showy with your religion like a fashion label, practice it and let it flow but do not trap it within futile words and ugly rhetoric. So fixated we have become by what other people think about us or how we are seen by other people, whether we inspire fear or respect that we forget that in the end faith is all about reconciling yourself with the One - to remember Him. Faith should not be about impressing others, or showing how ''deeny'' you are by publicly and rudely pointing out things about another human being - if you want to act then act with compassion not with self-righteous arrogance.

All this ugly talk of utter condemnation over something as trivial as wearing nail polish shows how small our hearts have become and how our egos and fixation with legal formality has clouded our moral vision. We have become arrogant - thinking that we alone have pure unadulterated access to not only decipher God's Will but also to forcefully implement it. This is truly sad - truly we should not yield to moral relativism and be weary of its effects on society, but to forcefully impose your opinion on another human being and on top of that passing it of as the ''Will of God'' is truly shocking. I would love to see how many brothers and sisters who praised the so called ''righteousness'' of the Mutaween would be willing to practise this form of grotesque morality in their own lives?

People are inspired by action and good countenance, by a warm smile and an open heart, by an attentive ear and beautiful patience - not by ugly words, raised voices, haughty expression or autocratic zealots who think they own God like personal property.
everything starts small...if we'd apply your ideas then there would be no advising anyone, the mutaween are there for a purpose, they are only doing their job, we are no saints but whats shariah is shariah and please ksa calls itself an Islamic country, i hope you get the point brother, we are no bigots, we live in the same world as you do
