It used to be that a Muslim who wore the clothes or suit identified as Western was a fasiq and possibly treasonous.

a) Yep. It's still like that.

Today, its normal for an alim to have a Western suit and tie in his closet. b) Yeah, clearly you need to look more carefully at who YOU are considering an alim.

The fatawa also used to say the worshipper who didnt cover his head was in ithm and his salah was deficient. see a) above.

Now the ithm has been lifted by many ulama. see b) above.

rinse, repeat.

How is it that you are openly seeing and admitting that some people are attempting to change the Shariah and make the impermissible permissible just to please the non-Muslims, but still you are considering them "alims".

This is baffling to me.
