Vital Signs singer turned evangelist turned fashion designer Junaid Jamshed made yet another blunder this past week as he appeared on a TV show and stated that "God dislikes that any woman should be named [in the Quran]."
Cue furor: the internet blew up over the remark, calling it out for being misogynistic, irresponsible and just plain wrong.
Junaid Jamshed was in the spotlight last year when he was accused of making blasphemous remarks in one of his televised sermons.

This time, it appears that he felt he had to correct his mistake quickly, as he took to his Facebook page and issued a 'clarification. ' In the carefully edited video, he explains that he did not intend to offend or belittle women at all. He cites Quranic verses that relate the high stature of women.
However, he closes with the sexist remark: "A woman is a diamond. Diamonds are meant to be hidden."
Social media blew up over his statements, with several prominent figures jumping in.
Many people questioned the hypocrisy of Jamshed putting women down even as he made a living off selling them lawn joras:

Another media war has started againgst junaid jamshed. JJ is again in hot waters .. I think its better not to speak than going of the cuff over these sensitive issues specially on national Tv. well, i dont know why the different channels are allowing him or any evangelist like him to deliver sermons according to the whims of their minds and interpretation. But pity on our media too.. they even dont do any responsible journalisim and becomes the party and give biased judgements instead of subduing the situation. JJ should think before giving statements like this, whatever he intended to say does not matter, if he is not careful with his words on the national Tv. As the saying goes " where ignorance is bliss, 'its folly to be wise."

Somebody must speak out against this!
His music brought so much peace, love and harmony to Pakistani culture and society - it united the country - but since becoming a mullah he is spouting so much inequality against and towards women.
There has to be an outcry against the nonsense he spouting about women can't do this in Islam, women can't do that it Islam! Yet he is making millions selling women clothing, perfumes - on back off the name he made of himself as Junaid Jamshed the rock and roll star! Junaid Jamshed the pop singer!
He should leave mullahism, hatred, bigotry and go back to what made him a household name and what he is good at, singing and making music!
Junaid Jamshed - please bring the peace, love and harmony back to Pakistan again by making good world class music you made with the Vital Signs.

In my mind, that is a very slippery slope.
Surely, individuals that appear on TV have a moral duty to act responsibly, and by default they subject themselves to judgment, applause and/or criticism. Otherwise, they could effectively say anything they like without being censured.
Civil society should always be allowed to appraise and reprimand someone if they violate a moral code. This has nothing to do with people's own piety or hypocrisy; it is a question of what standards we need to embed in our culture.

JJ is not a scholar. It is a human nature that slip of tongue is always a possible

Well, we all can say he is wrong but once we listen him carefully and we will learn he meant something else.
Calm down, I don't know him neither I have met him.

@ahmed Being a celebrity, he is earning a fortune. Moreover he is at a position where he is not only influencing our youth but also representing Pakistan and Islam. The saying goes: "With great power, comes greater responsibilities!"

@Riaz Ahmad - What do you know about his 'scholarship'? Is he a graduate of Al-Azhar? Having a degree in mechanical engineering from UET doesn't a scholar make!

I really hate when people dont understand the context of any talk and only exploit the wrong as usual we always see the wrong doing of anyone. If he is doing business than what ? he is not doing money laundering and not any corruption. Whole ramazan he was on the show but you always figure out anything against him. Helloooo everyone wake up and try to think any talk with reference to any context.

@Vidya had he reflected that women are to be shown/presented as a symbol of a s... object, you would have all the rights to make an objection. But to my dear sisters, please try to understand that God has created you as a very dignified and beautiful creature in the form of a loving mother, a sincere sister, a sacrificing wife, and ever loving daughter. There is no question of belittle of a women; they have a very important role to play in life and society. The more the women are shy and sober, the more they are beautiful and dignified to earn respect from hearts. Please understand JJ in this context.

The so called experts are making unnecessary criticism on JJ. The person has already clarified and given detailed statement in this regard.The so called experts are all busy doing things which are clearly un- Islamic but they never speak about that.Get your own house in order before criticizing others.

I don't understand why these ill minded people against woman. May be they forget that birth of man given by woman and whom we called her MAA ( Mother ).

I don't see he meant anything in wrong way. We just make fuss about every small thing, whereas the big wrong things are ignored, rather accepted happily as fashion or tradition or mere modern society demands. huh

Either don't be in the business of being a religious scholar/lecturer, or work harder on your material and prepare well before your speeches and sermons. Being in this profession is like walking on tight rope ! One should be careful of his actions, and the responsibilities as a scholar shouldn't be taken lightly. This is not popularity contest !! I would still want people to forgive him but our forgiveness shouldn't be taken lightly this time around.

Everyone can speak their mind. Let's avoid getting into arguments. I totally agree with some comments pointing to discuss matters or substance rather than controversial issues. Men and women compliment each other and world cannot exist without one of them, they are not in a competition and should not be compared. Period

He may be misogynist, sexist, and ignorant but not hypocrite as he merely mentioned a fact written in the scripture. Don't understand why is he being castigated for stating a fact.
