i think theres a real crisis of priorities thats afflicting our society. we were only granted freedom once our mental colonization was complete so for instance now the brightest individuals from secondary schools go for medicine and engineering, while the stupidest end up taking on religious studies. So the latter not only develop this inferiority complex, but because they lack the mental rigour, their insane rulings have a negative influence on the entire society. If thats all true, then one shouldn't be surprised to see individuals (misguided, perhaps) rebelling against the ulema who were put there for their stupidity.
phew... it took me a while reading ur detailed post.... firstly, i agree about all the masley you mentioned.
In my earlier posts, I never blamed all the problems our country is facing on the rich, nor did i once say that the poor are pious! all i said is that the changing approach to what we find acceptable is strongly dependent on media. What remains stagnant is the jahaalut based rituals that a lot of the poor follow! I never said this wasn't a problem, it is! however, I did mention that there isn't much done in changing their wrong interpretations of Islam (u mnetioned honour killings!!!)... and I feel that it ought to be the governments responsisbility to take these under consideration! the open induction of fitna in our society (which already has so many fitnas) isn't helping... yes capris aren't as bad as honour killing, but that doesn't mean that since one evil already exists in our society, we ought to allow the other to flourish as well! its starting with capris, but where is that going to stop, or is it going to stop at all?
aik taruf cultural jahaalut hai aur doosri turraf behoodgi! i know these are two extremes of society... i mean most ppl in gulshun/ north karachi/ nazimabad dont dress all that badly (yet) but what will it be like in 20/30/40 years time when our cultural acceptance, and more importantly our understanding of what a Muslim should be, changes?
aik din Khuda ke saamne karha hona hai (it feels that we as a nation often overlook that)... its not enuf to pray 5 times a day in your homes while the laws of Allah SWT are being broken... an ahadith jiss ka mafhoom kuch aisa hai: if u cant stop an evil with your hand, then do so with your tongue, and if that is not possible, then at least in your heart you should consider it as bad...
Wassalam.
solve and address issues giving each issue the right level of attention, disproportionate attention that we as a nation have on a tiny minority is not helping matters.
As stupid as the burger crowd is, they are not taking over Swat right now, neither are they suicide bombing in Karachi, nor are they beheading our soldiers in Waziristan.
People here need to get their priorities straight and focus on the greatest evils in our society first like gang rape by tribals/feudals and molestation of children by mullahs rather than the 0.0001% of drunk urban kids acting up.
Umer sahab..plz..dont be decieve by the so called modernism slogans ofbringing women in society and break the home institutions..such zionist based formulas are well for industral growth of these blood sucking billionaires...
Bhai sahab, working is a woman's Islamic right. She is not obliged to do it, but if she wants to work, why not? And how in the world does a working woman break homes? The institution of marriage is not as weak as you think. My mother has been working almost all her life and Mashallah my parents are happily married for more than 30 years!!!!
wow ...great sir....working is woman islamic right...plz..provide me a single ayat of quran from 6666...or one hadees from 400,000 out of all the ahadess books in support of your argument....and exceptions are always there..i am talking about majority....

Oh bhai, pehle aik din apni zindagi mein koi theek khaam tho karo, then talk about the ills of a working life on a woman's marriage.
