Dear Pracs,
Yes, It might seem strange to u...that I am an "enlightened" muslim & still worried abt doom of Islam. I might not be the PERFECT muslim here...nor the PERFECT guy...to speak about Dr. Aamirs actions. But I beleive in a hadith
If u see something bad happening, stop it using ur hand, if u cant, then stop it using ur tongue...if u cant even do that...atleast think in UR HEART tht this things is wrong....thats the weakest stage of faith.
For example, watching TV might have been bad 50 yrs ago, but its perfectly acceptable & not a "SIN" today coz....ppl gradually stopped..condeming this in their hearts....No one amongsts us is a PERFECT MOLVI !!! If we all stop CONDEMNING .....and wait for someone perfect to condemn...there might come a time...when...even DRINKING would become acceptable in this country ! Thats one of the predictions for doomsday....People will stop thinking of the wrong thing as being WRONG....and thats what several ppl are doing....in the name of "modernization"
I cant really stop Dr. Aamir....but the least I could do is...that he is not doing "somethings" rite...and I can..use my TOUNGE to ....highlight that...Criticism is what keeps a SOCIETY in check & balance.....Perhaps...Dr. aamir might have the time to read all this....and change himself just a bit....that would make him an IDEAL figure...and thats what I want...Not to throw him out of business !
You in the UK, come out on the streets...when ur political or religious leader does sthg wrong....Dont we, ppl in Pak, even have the right to use a FORUM to critisize our leaders...and TV anchors....on their presentation of our religion ? Just coz...we arent....PERFECT...judges ? Who is ? The job of Media, journalists...& critics (like me)...is to keep the society in check by CRITICISING !
By the way, if Tony Blair or GEORGE BUSH...earn billions of dollars..by doing some shaddy deals...why does it concern u ?
Take Care
