Phew! this debate is still going on...

As was mentioned b4, intentions don't count in the face of sin. You can have the best of intentions to go and give da'wah to a beautiful woman who's off the track, but it won't make it permissible for you to laugh/look/talk to her, even if its just with the intention of winning her over and making her see the beauty of islaam.... And if you do, you will in fact be guilty of a major sin.
No matter how great your intention is, there's no place for sin.
There's no place for women talking on air or itv to every tom **** and harry.
There's no place for girls to to call in on 'islaamic' radio stations and debate over air right in the holy month of ramadhaan in order to win R60 000.
There's no place for music, whether in advertisements or not.
There's no place for Romeo & Juliet or Feroz & Farzana plays to shamelessly be held on air in this auspicious month, while youngsters listen and think of it as 'normal islaamic romance'.
There's no place for girls with make up and 'camel hump' hairstyles to appear on television in order to spread (sell) islaam.
There's no place for made up Apa's and Moulana's to intermingle and 'educate' (mislead) muslims and non-muslims by openly, shamelessly, brazenly squashing the laws of ALLAH and painting a wrong picture of islaam.

This is the shariah of ALLAH. We HAVE to work WITHIN the framework of this shariah or else we are doomed.

On the scales of qiyaamah its our deed's that will count above our intentions.
