I think what I've written waaaay down have been misinterpreted by
some people. It wasn't my intention to offend anyone. It wasn't my
intention to bicker publicly with a fellow Muslim. It wasn't my
intention to drag religion into the picture (shouldn't have mentioned
the Prophet (PBUH) at all) .
I just have this to say to conclude what I've written before. Mehndi
to me is an art. Arts is universal, it's enjoyed by anyone who can
and will enjoy it. There are many traditions, rituals, cultures that
are associated with henna, but that shouldn't stop other people from
enjoying/practising it as well. That was all I wanted to say.
Ownership shouldn't be bestowed to any race, religion, creed for any
kind of arts.
May Allah forgive me and bestow wisdom upon me.
Peace
