"After the viral video of Priya Prakash Varrier, Whenever we or our fellow Muslim Brothers closed our eyes to offer Namaz, instead of Allah, her face would appear, which is hurting our sentiments, hence we issued a fatwa against her," is the message that is doing rounds in social media. This was a parody on Maulana Atif Qadri.

The youths say that the song, when translated to English, talks ill about important figures in Islam.
