Intolerance in Official Practice
Posted by Zoq May 14, 1998 05:05 pm
Salaam All

Religion is a very personal matter, and persuction based on someone`s beleifs is simply ridiculous. However, it should be noted that Ahmadi community has been very vocal about their religion all the way. As a proof, just looking at this page will reveal their consistency. On the contrary, a subtle inferiority complex seems to prevail the orthodox muslims` comments. Isn`t it strange? ARE YOU GUYS ASHAMED OF YOUR RELIGION, just because a bunch of obnoxious Mullahs claim to be its upkeepers! And my question is, why do you hate mullahism, which is a product of your own negligence and insoucience. Why didn`t you spare even the smallest share of your talents and energies to religious education and institutions, so the people would have a liberal mided religious leadership one day? Why did you let religious leadership fall into the hands of child abusers and wife bashers? Why is it that the people with highest IQ go to CS department while the theocracy dept. is left with a bunch of losers in the same college.


Let me cite a few names - two heavyweights of philosophy and rationality who very few `liberals` would like to refute on these grounds - Iqbal, and Ali Shariati. Both of them had exceptional IQ, impeccable `secular` education, and a large circle of equally good contemporaries. Without a doubt these two have inspired millions with their interpretation of religion, which is in no sense conformant with Mullahism. Do you know of a Mullah who was able to weild the same level of influence on masses?


So the question remains, do we see any Shariatis in making at Harvard or MIT?
