assalamu alaikum brothers, for me its like this... maulana mahmood madani sharing a platform with celebs is an issue for him. He must feel it justified to do so. Dont forget he is not just any ol' guy from the streets of india. If you have an issue with him sharing the platform and would like to know why he did it when his father didnt then you need to ask him, to contact him is pretty easy and an international call away. Call Jamiat ulema hind in delhi for further information. second thing is that no matter how high your rank is, you should never call someone a lesser muslim because we dont know what state our iman will be at the time of death. If you read the sheikh yunus threads i have posted two incidents that sheikh sahib relates about people who never did a thing islamic in life, but both died and did tawbah before death, one actually did tawbah the day before he died, another killed many by magic. But there was a prerequisite to both people doing tawbah. They never said anything from their mouths, nor did they belittle others. If someone is attacking the religion then defend it, dont go looking for people to attack.
