Hijab clad Muslim girls dance on road in Malappuram, get trolled on social media for 'insulting Islam'

A video of three Muslim girls from Malappuram, with their heads covered in veil, dancing to popular song Jimikki Kammal at a public place, has gone viral on the social media and for all the wrong reasons. People sharing the video of the girls grooving to the popular number are abusing them for 'insulting Islam' with their public performance.

According to media reports, the girls, all of them students of a dental college, were part of the AIDS Day awareness programme by district health department making public aware of the disease.

People on social media, taking offence to girls in conservative attire dancing on the road, started abusing them. Some even went on to say that Muslim girls "openly" dancing on the road could even mean that the end of the world was not too far away.

One person who shared the video on Facebook said that people were lucky there was no tsunami in Malappuram. The post got thousands of shares and comments, before it was deleted. 

Many comments which were mostly in Malyalam condemned the girls and their families, while others lamented that such people were a ‘curse to the religion,’ The News Minute reported. 

"Guess there's not enough space in these girls' home to tie them down, and hence they have been left free," another comment said. 

Many of these comments, however, met with resistance from other users, including Muslims.
