He gives his opinion (with conviction) and he may be (most likely) wrong. Have you or Ulamah whom you know have NEVER been wrong about anything in life? Its about politics and hence he is making Ijtehaad there have been numerous examples in Islamic history where Ulamah and pious have made political Ijtehaad and have been wrong and lives have been lost due to it. Heard of MMA in Pakistan? Is their Ijtehaad of joining hands with everyone based on Qur'aan & Sunnah? Has it brought the right results? Did their endorsement of LFO not strengthen Musharraf?

Wassalaamu Alaykum wa rahmatullah Akhil 'azeez

I never said that I am always correct + I have never been wrong + that the Shaykh is incorrect 100% of the time. This is supported by the fact that I said I am willing to learn Shafi'i fiqh under him if such an opportunity arises. He is entitled to his ijtihad in politics and we are all entitled to reject that ijtihad. The FSA are mujahideen in the sight of Allah inshaAllah and are being supported by numerous 'Ulama so I prefer to cling to their opinion instead. Besides, I know brothers who have acquaintances in the FSA and to call them terrorists without investigation is injustice.

I am not from Pakistan so do not know the intricacies of MMA/LFO.

As Br. Malcolm X (ra) said:
“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.”
