Funny how when anyone disagree with anyone on this forum they end up getting a lable of “Hypocrites”

What does Hypocrite really mean?

From Wikipedia:

Hypocrisy is the act of pretending to have morals or virtues that one does not truly possess or practice. The word derives from the late Latin hypocrisis and Greek hupokrisis both meaning play-acting or pretence. The word is arguably derived from hypo- meaning under, + krinein meaning to decide/to dispute. A classic example of a hypocritical act is to denounce another for carrying out some action while carrying out the same action oneself.

The term hypocrisy is also commonly used in a way which should be more specifically termed a **double standard](Double standard - Wikipedia), **bias](Bias - Wikipedia), or ****inconsistency](Consistency - Wikipedia).

Here I announce myself as a Hypocrite :jhanda: Since I have very inconsistent personality on this forum and I roam around with different nicks to reply to various topics and to deal with different people on this forum.]

Hypocrisy also refers to the act of criticizing others for behavior which one engages in as well, or in other words, not practicing what you preach.

Ok now in one of the thread, which is active right now in general, people are pissed at Saudis b/c of the injustice they did with Paki girl. And someone replied to that thread saying*,“If same thing would have happened in Pak then we all would be saying that Good and Bad can be found anywhere..Hypocrites” *

Hmm just b/c most of the guppies got see red and stated their opinion based on the info that was provided…does that still make them Hypocrite?

EMM... you may be a self-proclaimed hypocrite, but pls don't call the rest of the members as hypocrites. Most, if not all of them, are pakkay momin. Masha Allah and Alhamdollilah.

Oh, and by the way, the word inconsistency](Consistency - Wikipedia) in your post is not properly bolded all the way. Its not hypocritical, ofcourse, but just careless. Please fix it. And you are welcome.

Quran defines Hypocrites as those who say something but do as oppose to that they say. The use of word Bias is very interesting in the above definition

At one place in Quran, Allah:swt: says:

:bism:

61:2 O ye who believe! Why say ye that which ye do not?
61:3 Grievously odious is it in the sight of Allah that ye say that which ye do not.

Ejjjaaaaactly! BUT on this forum the meaning of such word is defined to be something else…the way each guppy on GS uses this word is totally irrelevant to wat goes around.
