[@askerman3]

@@iwannabetheunknown that's what I am saying that It will make you stupid. For example praying to a deity or a god is fine for a Hindu, but for a Muslim it's a matter of life and death. How you define what's good a bad ? The solution is go to the source material. Why are you doing something, what's the reason, what's the logic. Religion doesn't make you dumb. It's the people who became lazy and stop to question

[@adityadubey9926]

​@@askerman3total bullshit

[@ponderingmind7861]

​@@askerman3why there will be a life and death situation for a Muslim to have Hindu deity in their home? My uncle is married to a Muslim lady and no one had tried to kill her in the last 30 years! So stop spreading lies about a community just because you can't stand them. Why is it so important to bring religion into the conversation whenever someone has a Muslim name? What religion they practice or do not practice it's purely their matter. Religious practice is a very personal thing. They could be following one or multiple religion. Why does it have anything to do with their craft? If you don't like their music don't listen and don't support them.

Wow, what an incredible music breakdown! 🎶🎵 "O RE PIYA" performed by the Rahat Fateh Ali Khan and composed by the Salim-Sulaiman truly blew me away. 🙌 The combination of Rahat's soul-stirring vocals and the musical genius of Salim-Sulaiman resulted in a masterpiece that tugs at the heartstrings and takes listeners on an emotional journey. The way this video breaks down the intricate layers of the song, highlighting the nuances and musical arrangements, is both educational and inspiring. It's evident that Salim-Sulaiman's expertise and passion for music shine through every explanation, making it engaging for both music enthusiasts and casual viewers. I'm truly impressed by how Mashable Todd-Fodd presented this content with such attention to detail and reverence for the artistry involved. This video is a testament to the power of music to touch our hearts and bridge cultural divides. Thank you for sharing this exceptional content! I'll definitely be revisiting this video whenever I need a dose of musical brilliance and inspiration. Keep up the fantastic work! 👏👏👏
