I understand that but just the fact that one of the highest religious authoritys in the region considers even the suggestion as anti-islamic just boggles the mind. :bugeye:
There are no religious authorities in Islam. A mufti is doing a job, not very well it would appear. I wonder how much of religious studies he has gone through.
The chief minister would probably have more impact than him, being elected he is representative of the people, the mufti is merely representative of those who think like him.
There are a lot of anti-Indians in Kashmir, since India went back on its promise to give them a referendum. The mufti is probably one of them.
No authority is a very convenient catch phrase but anyone who has a title such as imam, or mufti and can speak and spread thier opinion to an audience I think qualifies as an authority. Naybe if islam hadn't latched onto this no authority idea the ranks of the folks who can make decrees or speak to an audience would be abit more kosher..or in this case halal.
I think all Muslims get the no authority concept pretty clearly. I don't know any imam/mufti/ayatollah who is "followed" by Muslims as a group.
you must be the only one then, maybe you mean because they have their own groups. Followed is a good word for it though.
But it illustrates that they have supporters. You're so consumed with the fanatical desire to deflect all blame from your religion that you read everything as an attack. The fact that supporters exist should be a note of concern.
Of course, but the fact that its more political (kashmir referendum) than religious should not be overlooked.
Its a tug of war between the pro-India CM and the anti-India mufti
It used to be said of Kashmir:
Gar bar-ru-e-zamin ast; hamin ast, hamin ast, hamin asto
Today, no one would ever associate that verse with Kashmir.
I bet this mufti has not read "Gandhi's responses on Islam"

oh, cant wait for that.
Totally crap analogy just as Jamiat al islami is not equal to the govt of Pakistan so it is with the KKK. Besides the KKK has these things called Grand Dragons who are *shudder* leaders/spokesmen
That must be why it's so easy to organize massive worldwide demonstrations when there is a perceived affront.
Yeah, for the KKK, in other words, they represent only the people who already think like them.
The mufti will have many followers in Kashmir solely because of the anti-India sentiment there and because of the military atrocities of the Indian army on the local population.
Actually, he will find himself in agreement with Hindu fundies in RSS and BJP (Gandhi was shot by an RSS groupie), who also think that Gandhi was a wimp.
they represent members of thier belief/ideologic system namely the kkk. Easy to pick out in a crowd, the guys with sheets on.
And also because he is a mufti and speaks to a wider audience than..say Ali Ibrahim.
No doubt, it's just a shame. More violence seemingly sanctified by faith.
It is a shame. And the KKK don't always wear the sheets.
But until the Kashmir issue is resolved, its par for the course.
It is a shame. And the KKK don't always wear the sheets.
Not anymore, you can picik them out from their beer bellies. There must be at least ten of them.
