Assalamu 'Alaykum,
I'm going to close this thread now simply because I see no point in continuing further.
We do not need BBC or any other News faculty to be our judge of people, Islaam already does that for us! We are given the truth, and by that we judge the people, not the other way around. In such a case, we do not compare ourselves with anyone except the best, and we do not take as role models except those who are in the correct way.
For these reasons, I see no reason to applaud her actions. Nor do I see a reason for it to become a source for us to waste our time in degrading her; as unless she has done something totally out of the bounds of Islaam resulting in Kufr, she is still a Muslim and as such we have to still maintain her right of honor.
So to avoid anything further - Thread Closed
