Re: Hating on the Ummah
- The question is why is it that people ridicule this concept of Ummah or Unifed muslim state. Not the practicality of the matter, but that the idea itself is open to ridicule.
Addressing your edited post, it seems we're back to square one. You say idea itself, i say not idea but relevance as wildly impractical solution to current problems, you ask why wildly impractical, i say post 1, you go back to saying why are you ridiculing idea.
To avoid the eternal recurrence of this discussion, lets just remember where we were before the distinction between matters and notions came up:

And why is the concept of the Ummah wildly impractical?

Again, for all the reasons in post 1, the concept of the Ummah is wildly impractical in context of current world affairs topics/discussions. Doesnt mean it always has to be (infact anyone who believes in Imam Mehdi believes atleast at that time it wont be) and it doesnt mean that people who believe in the desirability of the Ummah should be ridiculed.
