Re: Your Favorite Writer on Religion?
You’re basically trying to make an indirect dig/ and false accusation at me that I must support killing of apostates then if I like reading his tafsir. Did you ever stop to think that maybe I did not know this about Maududi? Because the truth is that I didn’t know this. But you rushed to quote and post because you must have thought, “Oooooh YAY!!! I found a contradiction in RV’s beliefs. I have pounced on something that I can use to ONCE AGAIN accuse her of being a liar and talking bs, haina?” I will not rush to form a negative opinion of Maududi; I’ll have to do my own research on him.
I like his format of the English tafsir because it includes references of both the similarities and differences in the interpretations of the Bible, Quran and Torah. His way of writing, I feel, has helped me understand what I’ve read of the Quran thus far…and I can appreciate his efforts in that. You shun religion altogether and I don’t even support your persecution any more than I do of the Ahmedis, 
But, see what you just did here Bella. You rushed to incorrectly assume that, I too, must support persecution…simply because I said that I like readinf Maududi’s tafsir…which by the way…I am still faaaaar from finishing. In your post you HAVE acknowledged that you have read my many other posts where I have said I don’t support such persecution. But the fact that I said this many times was not enough to convince, because within a matter of seconds you deemed a liar after reading my opinion on Maududi. Bella, I wish you could hear my voice to know that I’m very calm right now and I don’t feel any aggression toward you. I say this because it hard to determine a person’s tone from their post. But I want you to reflect on something: If you can rush to have such severe assumption about me, if you see me in such a harsh light, what thoughts do you have about other Muslims? Do you see all of them as ruthless?
FYI, the Maududi Tafsir books can be found in many Muslim households…I have seen them in the masjids…i know other people who have them…good decent Muslims who wouldn’t support the kind of persecution you speak of…and I bet some of them, like me, don’t know much about the author.
