Junaid Jamshed is not new to controversy, this time he has people fuming on social media over his sexist remark on a TV show, declaring that “Allah dislikes that any woman should be named [in the Quran].”
Singer Ali Zafar has openly called JJ out and asked to clarify his stance on the issue:
Sir, agreed, people assume, so just to make it clear in simple yes/no. In your opinion women are inferior to men? Yes/no ? @JunaidJamshedPK
— Ali Zafar (@AliZafarsays) July 21, 2015
To which, JJ replied,
@AliZafarsays Not at all . — Junaid Jamshed (@JunaidJamshedPK) July 21, 2015
@AliZafarsays everything is OK . Sometimes women are more dynamic than men . I see my daughter doing all that . But I cant stop worrying
— Junaid Jamshed (@JunaidJamshedPK) July 21, 2015
The little bromance continued with Ali Zafar suggesting a jam session.
@AliZafarsays follow me bro . I am following you . Need to communicate

And of course, Ali Zafar is now a ‘Jamshedi’??

Singer turned evangelist turned fashion designer Junaid Jamshed made yet another blunder this past week as he appeared on a TV show.

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.”
#Junaidjamshed has no failure in communication! He repeatedly makes hateful statements about women! Just google him & you will see — Sharmeen Obaid (@sharmeenochinoy) July 20, 2015
This is why #Junaidjamshed should be banned from #pakistan TV- I hope he realizes a woman gave birth to him! https://t.co/KHX248zYae — Sharmeen Obaid (@sharmeenochinoy) July 20, 2015
