Re: Hating on the Ummah

All of a sudden you can comprehend English. According to post number 12 (by you) you state:

when wildly impractical ideals with absolutely zero indications of current relevance are offered as solutions to current affairs
[/quote]

My question is why is the ideal of the Ummah widly impractical?

see post 20. substitute concept with ideal, and accept for now the regrettable damage to the english language.

Re: Hating on the Ummah

Pfft...so the notion of the Ummah is not wildly impractical?

Re: Hating on the Ummah

you are as yet unable to challenge 20 and 22. and it is unlikely that I will want to defend post number 45. 20.. 22.. 24.. 26.. see the pattern there?

Re: Hating on the Ummah

Yes. You like even numbers. And you missed 48.

The discussion at hand sweetheart are comments made by posters that the ideal/notion/concept/view/dream of the Ummah is to be ridiculed.

Put it this way "I have a dream" by Martin Luther King is such an ideal/notion/concept/view/dream. It was one well before it became reality. Why ridicule an ideal or a notion? More importantly was that notion of Black people being equal to Whites wildly impractical?

Re: Hating on the Ummah

you cant get an answer from me about people who bash the concept in isolation, since most Muslims atleast aspire to it, if nothing else than in an end-of-days scenario. i say repeatedly, it is in context of current world affairs topics, where the Ummah is often posited as the panacea to what ails us, does it become a legitimate target for derision. And I maintain that this constitutes most of the disparaging of Ummah on these forums, along with that of the primary organizations serving as advocates of actualizing this concept these days.
