Urstruly is a Split Personality schizophrenic

Just look at urstruly’s obfuscation he says islamists admire the "prose and poetry" of faiz, faraz, qasmi (he could have added Sahir and Ghalib too) so atheists should acknowledge the "scholarship" of Maududi and qutub, mind you not the poetry of religous poets like Iqbal, shibli etc which they admire, this is like agnostics asking them to acknowledge the scholarship of Hitlar, Golwalkar or Arun shourie or Aurobindo Ghosh or Savarkar.

He takes war’s whose origin lay in nationalism and puts it at the door of agnosticism/atheism, forgetting that Iqbal himself said: "in taaza khudaon mein....... ". extremem nationalism is more dangerous than religion but that does not mean that agnosticism should be ditched.

Then he puts up a mythical straw man that all morality is derived from religion, being ignorant that morality along with religion is a derivative of man’s biological neccessity of being a social animal even at the stage of hunter gathere and the imperatives of technologies such as agriculture with led to settled living and civilization, with its attendend needs of rules and social structure to maintain a functioning system.

he also states that devoid of religion man turns to a beast, forgetting Russell, Nehru, Faiz, sahir, Shaw, churchill and countless others.

since he believes that the opposite of god and religion is the devil he probably also believes that all those departments of anthropology, history, archaeology, evolutionary biology, economics and sociology/psychology at thousands of the world’s universities, which do not take the existence of god as the basis of their research are being run by the devil.

Can you beat such a warped mindset, i know you can match it after having read the views of Indian right wing coders on this web site, but beating it? Nay, impossible.

Infact if this man hadnt been the best writer of fiction on this web site i wouldnt have bothered this with a response.
