Re: Lal Masjid fanatics abduct policemen
dude but barelvis cant go to deobandi masajid and vice versa etc etc, then u have the shia sunni issue.
They are needed and all because their Allah is different than the other party's Allah. god forbid you pray in the wrong mosque, aasman say foran aik patakha aa ka sarr par phootay ga.
who needs hospitals and schools, many masajid that are usually 80% empty are needed
for all the crap we hear about how religious Pakistan is, I encourage you to go to any neighbourhood, any day, and go see how many ppl turn up for fajr, or for other prayers. and then compare that to number of people who live in the area.
Actions speak louder than words.
Yeah, thats what I keep hearing from people, that they all represent different schools of thought, and thus its all politics... Although I dont know what offering fajr has to do with how long you grow your beard, or whether you grow your beard, or whether your wife wears the full niqab or just headscarf or neither, and all the other non issues that seperate these schools.
And yeah, I have met very very few Muslims in Pak who are truly relgious and pious.. For most its lip service... At best they are just nominal muslims, at worst they are complete hypocrites. Although most would still defend Islamic principles even if they dont practice them themselves:)
One of the most annying things is that these mosques try to out do each other with the Azaan... We all want to hear azaan, and one that done properly is rather beautiful, but these competing Mosques often go at it simultaneuosly and completely out of harmony, and they really destroy the whole experience.
