Brother, there are much more kharafaat (even about our own Prophet!)in the Saha Sitta but i am refraining from writing them (i respect the book but its not 100% correct and above critical analysis specially considering it was writting during the caliphate of the damned Ummayas). Anyways, life goes on and we all as individuls have the gift of aqal and we all cud reach to our own conclusions if we try. And i think the main thing that counts is our actions that we will be questioned upon on the day of judement and not anyone elses (like Pathan Bhai said earlier). My main rationale behind criticizing Khalifa Umar was because he played the leading hand in a lot of way in issues that have shaped the Muslim ummat for the past and its current state (which is infront of everybody to judge. Its not pretty!). Anyways, disagreements aside, i think its time we post in this forum stuff against our real enemies and expose the likes of the Zionists, America, Britain, their proxy Muslim leaders etc who want to destroy our faith completely.
*the book is not 100% correct? which book are you talking about? Umar ra was not the only khalifa who shaped Islam as we see it today...lol *
