I'll through the links u have provided, and as far as article is concerned it is biased and i normally don't read anything which smells like that.

I knew that was coming, since anything you disagree would be labelled biased. But references were provided and you can buy original books of Maududi. There was a book written by an old Muslim League leader (who was part of Pakistan movement) and its called Maududi ka fitna. I will get the name of the author. He is not a Mullah.

As far as i knew, the main difference between Dr. Israar and Mododi was the Khilafat Issue. other differences seems to be just difference of opinion.

Dr. Israr do not criticize the Prophets, Sahabas and pious predecessors.
According to Maududi Salah is like a military parade, Zakah being a communal social fund and Hajj being a massive conference.:D Sunnis consider establishing Khilafah as a juzz/ branch of Islam- Maududi consider this as being the foundation of deen. As the Mufti said, "Mawdudi sahib nay iss branch ko kaat kay tanna bana diya". So according to him purpose of Islam is just to establish a government, that the people involved in these jam'ahs spend their day and night in political discourse but when we look at their lives they have no attraction to Salah and their lives are contrary to Deen.

Coming back to Self Studied "Scholars" can u tell us more about them, are u saying that because some scholars does not support a particular cult and/or follow particular Imam is self Studied Scholar?
[/QUOTE]
To become a doctor, you have to attend a medical school and read the books of experts of that field. You dont become a doctor by studying books at home, same way you dont become a scholar by reading books at home on your own. This way you are only relying on your own intellect and not how it was understood by Prophet s.a.w, and Sahabas.

any how as far as Dr. Tahir is concerned, his minhaj.ul.quran is creating his image as scholar of the time. I think u are supporting him cause he follow a particular Imam and cult etc etc
[/QUOTE]
I have already mentioned, he is not a scholar but a professor. Few years back he was referred as Professor, then he was Doctor, then he was Shaikh, then he was Allamah, and now they refer to him as Shaikh ul Islam. :D
