quoting only half of the first line of what i said simply changes the meaning of what i said : ) even the same post had a verse from quran-e-kareem on this very subject of selective acceptance.
agree with first two paras of you, but about the last one, well its the desired result when you dont see soo much encourangement from other areas for not to “adopt the prescribed appearance” as in this thread. what do most people need to do bad things? sometimes just a mere hope and support that others are also doing wrong whats bad if i do it a few times, and then those few times never end.
point is, stressing on that “adoption” is whats needed, not the otherwise.
