Zalim Online
Posted by nadir6500 Oct 16, 2008 11:02 am
Mr Tariq,
I do agree that extremism in all its forms is BAD. But then it goes 2 ways. Those who profess religion in its extremist form are as BAD as those who breath out fire against them. A balanced approach is the only answer. But as humans it becomes difficult to maintain balance. Satan spends most of his time trying to push people towards one side or another so that they lose balance and and adopt strict, extremist and totalitarian views of life's problems. I donot have an iota of doubt that zalim on line should refrain from blurting out like this but we should not call for the mass murder of all religious scholars also. one should listen to all of them and then formulate his opinion. forgive me but u have also been slightly extremist in ur opinions. The answer to theses problems is in getting closer to religion to understand what all is actually right and wrong. The answer is not in standing on a side and blaming all those who r actually trying to follow it irrespective of how narrow minded their approach might be. I do agree that the root cause of these problems is not in 9/11 alone. It all dates back to the times when we allowed and encouraged these groups to be formed. How many educated people do u know who can teach Quran or prayers to their children with full confidence in themselves. We all need to go back to the drawing board and hit the basics again. we need to reformulate our own visions and understandings. it will take time and effort. but then it has to be done.
