[Qynvtlur]

This is their relegion. Someone could say same thing about our Eid. The Jehlami, Mirpuri and the new money pople causing a scene during eid. Focus on yourself instead of their relegion.

the problem with people like you who appreciate the western 'traditional' scholars, and are into all this self-crticism (which is not always wrong) etc is your stark and noted absence of a sense of wala' and bara' - something that has always been part of our religion, and our sufi tradition. alhamduli Llah, bughd fi 'Llah is a lofty sufi rank, and we should never equate (whether by way of statement or implication) our religion with those of others.

secondly, as you say, "this is their religion", whereas the excessses practiced by Muslims on our a'yaad are not part of our religion.

the thing is, self-respecting non-Muslims (and by that, I mean, sincere adherants of other faiths) will never equate their religions with Islam, for example, so why should we?

this is all the more of the case when dealing with the hostile hindus of (mainly Northern) India!
