it really is heart breaking that people including me have ridiculed our own religion by behaving inhumane, in the name of God. The gentleman is on his way to submit himself to Allah (apparently) and thus has all the RIGHT in the world to cuss, abuse, accuse his fellow men for absolutely nothing.......... this actually reflects the attitude of the entire umma today unfortunately, it is bitter, but only the truth... and you'll come across people riding the horses of self righteousness and they'll go to any extent to prove how pious and holy they really are.
i had a little conversation with a moulana today on marriot isl and his opinion and views are inexplainable.. how do we cope with fanaticism? we cannot argue, question, cannot ask for a reason?? how to make them understand what modern civilization is?
