Lack of freedom for Muslim of India

Re: A Muslim Indian never lives in peace

As for his intentions (niyat), piety or faith (iman), we cannot and should not judge this; this is between him and God.

But the manifestation of that faith (i.e. his actions) we can judge; our Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said: “I have been ordered to judge the apparent.”

And so you see, when Salman Khan sits in a Ganesh pooja, or whatever it is called, and visits temples, this is something that a Muslim is not permitted to do. Religious tolerance is a great thing, but Salman actively participates in pagan religious practises which is shirk. It’s not an issue of ‘well maybe that’s your interpretation’ or ‘maybe some Muslims think it *is *permitted’ etc. That’s not how Islam legislates. There’s a particular process of ijma (consensus) that needs to be followed.
