Re: Respecting political leaders.
Interesting actually. A collegue of mine who will be joining Paklinks pretty soon commented about this stuckupness 
attitude regarding (and he generalized) all muslims. He also mentioned China and Canada. I just gave him the URL and told him happy posting. His comments were about “I am always right” “We will/used to rule the world” and he was quite angered/upset and my favorite “perplexed” regarding these attitudes.
AhmadJee: Why do people crowd behind a religious leader for political purposes. Example Mullah Omar.
So what I am trying to say is in Afghanistan/talibans case they(people) chose Omar to be their Amir-ul-momaneen. Why?
