Pseudo-intellectual Hoodbhouy

A Review of: Pervez Hoodbhoy, Islam and Science: Religious Orthodoxy and Battle for Rationality

Hoodbhouy is one of those clowns [along with ghamidi] who are the imams of misguidence of “moderates”

This review of one of his book exposes how inept he is when it comes to discussing religion

So what you suggest? kill him? If you don’t like his views then don’t read him. But please refrain from labeling intellectuals like clowns, this is one of the reason we Muslims are deep sink hole !

Nice try, trying to dumb down masses. Here is just one para from this so called review;

What does this mean exactly just to see what is fascinating you? Does he mean people who want the progress of science and technology by phrase ‘other classes may be encouraged to retard progress’? If so then its obvious this guy is a religious fundamentalist and has agenda to throw mud over anyone who is working for the progress of science and technology.

Please correct me if I am wrong.

Re: Pseudo-intellectual Hoodbhouy

Dr.Hoodbhoy is basically a Nuclear Sceintist and Doctrate of MIT .His views sometimes cross the boundaries of ‘moderation’ and enter the valley of ‘secularism’. So we should take him as a scientist not as a religious scholar neither his religious ruling/thinking is taken as serious

Although Sabieh Anwar considers himself a student of Dr.Hoodbhoy ,invited him to his society ,recently on 29 January he was giving lecture of 10 dimensions in this universe alongwith 3 and time as a 4th one at Punjab University .He also workerd with him at National Center of Physics at Quaid-e-Azam University Islamabad but still he strongly criticized his book Islam and Science: Religious Orthodoxy and Battle for Rationality here

ARTICLE An Ongoing Debate

Re: Pseudo-intellectual Hoodbhouy

i dont doubt his credentials as a scientist but why is he trying to a authority on issues that he has no clue on e.g islamic history and shariah

the reason is simple ...he is a ismaili and they are non-muslims
he is afraid of puritin islam as this will mean that people like him will be at the bottom of the barrel

Re: Pseudo-intellectual Hoodbhouy

Well if all the Dr Liaquts and Ghamdis and Farhat Hashmis and Babar Chaudrys of this world can have an opinion and start their cults then why not Hoodbhoy...he is a believer..let him have his say

What is your idea of real intellectuals and of those who are righteous and not inept? Just curious.

Re: Pseudo-intellectual Hoodbhouy

^ well to comment on islam atleast he shud know the basics of islamic history and hadith
but his book reviews show how shallow his approach is towards these things

its just like a rockstar writing about astronomy and not all of them are Brian May ! ]

You have a list of raw backed stooges in Pakistan that you are checking from or just guessing?

Interesting question :)

Re: Pseudo-intellectual Hoodbhouy

lets get back on topic ...question for his fans how much has mr infidel hoodbhouy studied islamic history,hadith and fiqah to comment on this

How is he infidel?

who knows about his bed time reading habits

Re: Pseudo-intellectual Hoodbhouy

my pir says agha khanis are not muslims

his reading habits are unknown but his knowledge certainly reflects some of it

he disagrees with reich. clearly that falls under infidelity.
and if you disagree with that, you are an infidel too. :)

Re: Pseudo-intellectual Hoodbhouy

From an Ismaili to a Muslim

ismailis are pampered in pakistan [even by mard-e-munafiq zia ul haq] as they are wealthy and contribute to economy
