This section is a ''General'' section, so you are pretty much allowed to post other stuff. But as in all places, one must be a little careful when posting/talking about relegion. One man's belief may differ from the other. A taboo to one may be just the belief.
As far as Qatil's ilking on Islam, and well, what he refers to as ''piri fakiri'', is quite a debatable issue. Let's not forget that a huge chunk of muslims in South Asia and else where are ardent believers of ''SUFISM''. Sufis were the prime drivers of the faith in South Asia and were responsible for mass connersions. There Mausoleums or ''Darabars'' today too are a source of inspiration and bliss for millions.
Many people may not agree with me, but then that is there choice and I would repsect them for it.
The underlying principle in Islam is not to confuse reverence and respect for other Men of God with TAUHEED and SHIRK. For there is no greater sin (GHUNAE KABEERA) than SHIRK.
"Allah does not change the state of people unless they change what is within themselves" Quran 1311
