Re: Jamaat
Those are some views that I have an issue with too, tableeghis appear to be quite strict when it comes to these things. At the same time you don’t see people like Junaid Jamshed, Saqlain Mushtaq or MoYo refusing to be on tv. Strict, hardline Islam does not necessarily equate to preaching religious/sectarian intolerance. My boss is in fact a tableeghi guy who’s very involved, he even took a sabbatical and went on a 40 day tour with them recently but he’s a pretty cool guy who still enjoys life, watches sports on tv and is in our cricket team too. Internet is a big part of our jobs and I don’t see him having any objection to it. He encourages everyone in the office to pray in jamaat which is the closest he’s come to ‘imposing his views’ on others and even in that he’s not actually forcing anything on us.
