Maulvi and me

A heartful thanks to inquirer for supporting me on the maulvi front.

However, through this article i do not show my contempt for Islam, or any religion but to the clergy who have barred people to understand their religion individually and uniquely and follow it according to their own intepretations with the help of their intellect, granted by God himself.

Very interesting presentation!! The world is full of ``Maulvi I-Want-It-My-Way``s. And they are not all Muslims. Though they are most strident and effective in Islam.

If Marx was right in one thing, it is his characterization of religions.

While religion is A way, and only one way, of experiencing the mystical, it is definitely not the optimal way. The psychological and intellectual to the individual and human development costs are just unacceptable.

Religions have collectively turned out to be really an scourge of the human society as they have made individuals more selfish and promoted antipathies without understanding through out the world.

The only benefit of religions is the providing of delusion to the weak in facing death - which nevertheless remains inevitable.

tableeghis are not the maulvis described above.

Unfortunately we have such maulvis. And there concentration is perticularly high in Pakistan. *Sigh*

Maybe khattak sahib you really have not met some of the die hard maulvis abundant in our society. i do not want this article to be seen as a generalization or as representing all maulvis but really some of them do go over the top

Dear Shahbaz,

Sop exagerrating!! This whole article looks like it has been made up.
