Good.
Mullah chala Siasat ki chaal, to upni chaal bhi bhoola. like Kawwah chala Huns ki chaal, to upni chaal be bhoola.
We should also agree that this is the age of specialization.
If you specialize in politics, then do not try to run the mosques. the mosques should be left to the people who focus on religion and spirituality.
Here is another example.
When you want to fix the plumbing, you go to plumber and not a Mullah, When you want to get things cooked, you go to chef and not to a Mullah.
It is possible that a Mullah is asked to to recite God's word before the plumber tries to open the sewer line, but i hate to see the plumber issuing fatwas, or cooking at the local restaurant.
Similarly a chef should pay attention to creating gourmet foods, and leave the plumbing to the plumber.
And so should Mullah aka religious scholar. He should concentrate on his work instead of becoming a political kawwah.
Got it?
Again you did not ponder before writing this. I have already mentioned that you have very very narrow idea of (any) religion.
All religious people have an opinion about politics. Govt. of different countries do look for and listen to religious people in that country. Weather they agree with them or not is based on many other factors, including general people opinion. Nothing wrong.
If a doctor is asked an opinion by someone doing the plumbing job, the doctor does not have to be a plumber to give that person opinion and advice how much to work, how much to lift weight or what not to do.
If a lawyer is asked his advice about financial transaction, then the lawyer does not need to be an accountant or C.A. before he gives an opinion.
Both doctor and lawyer give their opinion based on their respective professional knowledge.
Having been specialized does not mean one becomes a selectively programmed robot.
I cannot help you if you still did not get the point. :-)
