Mohammad Kaif dragged into fresh controversy over religion fanatics

Fundamentalists who love moral policing in the name religion seem to be really committed to creating controversies over the most trivial issue on this planet. Just a couple of weeks ago, Mohammad Shami, the Indian fast bowler, was being preached social ethics, these mockers have found yet another soft target in another Indian cricketer Mohammad Kai after he had to face the heat for posting pictures of him doing Surya Namaskar on Twitter.

“Surya Namaskar is a complete workout for the physical system, a comprehensive exercise form without any need for equipment,” said Kaif in his tweet.

Here’s the ‘controversial’ tweet:

This picture of a cricketer doing exercise under the morning sun got him a negative response from a bunch of people who felt that doing and promoting surya namaskar is against Kaif’s religion – Islam. These bigots were quick to point out that Kaif’s adopted form of exercise was against the religion he practices, clearly making the fact clear that even exercises have religion and should be followed by the people of that particular reason only.

Here are some of the nasty tweets directed towards the cricketer:

@MohammadKaif Surya namashkar is adverse our culture society and traditions of islam.why are you posting a controversial statement.

But, the right-handed batsman from Uttar Pradesh, who recently supported Mohammad Shami and his wife openly, saying that it should up to the couple to make their personal choices, didn’t take things lying down.

He had a befitting reply to all the baseless accusations being hurled at him. “In all four pics, I had Allah in my heart. Can’t understand what doing any exercise, Surya Namaskar or gym, has to do with religion. It benefits all,”

Here’s Kaif’s perfect reply:
