Best-quotes-ever Quote by Mohammed Zaki Ansari
““When you see someone offering namaz in a public place, don’t panic — you can call the police. But when you see someone in a public place engaging in sexual activity, kissing, pressing breasts, or rubbing hips, don’t be confused — she is not a prostitute. It’s considered a form of higher Western values and part of Western culture to show respect to women by treating them like sex objects in public.””
