1 Do Muslims Follow Wahhabism? By admin on March 3rd, 2017 Here two young Muslim women are expressing their views on today s Islam. Momeen says: March 3, 2017 at 2:16 am / very few of them follow this Wahhabism /. Not surprised to find how a Europe-settled Muslim underestimates the reach of Wahabi cult. The disastrous Wahabi tsunami has already taken over Pakistan, Bangladesh and India. Muslims in general raze to rubble temples, gurudwaras, churches et al but Wahabi Muslims sprint for a Heaven ticket by bombing Sufi shrines, Shia and Ahmedi mosques too. Wahabism is extremely busy in the process of eliminating Sufism and Ahmedi Islam from the entire subcontinent and has been highly successful in its efforts. / So both things are needed: india and the west definitely need to educate themselves on Islam / The balancing act, again! To say all non-muslim nations should learn about Islam connotes that all faiths are equally problematic.

2 NO. * Christians, Hindus, and Jews don t bring down embassies and indulge in brutal violence all over the world when their Gods or Prophets are targeted in movies, articles or cartoons! * *Non-Muslims don t make a hellhole of their own lands in the name of faith, enter in millions to Islamic nations, beg and scream for asylum while not giving an inch of theirs to others. *Christians, Hindus, and Jews- once the percentage shoots up don t begin to demand separate homeland; today Rohingya Muslims problem hits the headlines while the mainstream media fails to highlight that the menace began long after the Muslims chorus for a separate state knocked Burma. What percentage of Muslim population do Thailand and Philippines have? Even there, Muslims are demanding separate state! *Non-Muslims don t settle in Islamic lands, get citizenship, enjoy equal rights, build their worshipping places in large numbers and clamour that only there God is true and their religious law should be implemented. To equate Islamic inferno with others is equating cancer and common cold. Unless Islamic leadership undertakes sweeping reforms by eradicating all the StoneAge era practices, lets Muslims to live amicably with other faiths and most importantly, Islamic nations open their doors to other religions and let them flourish in their lands- there is no scope for Muslims to become a morally-strong, peaceful and benign community. -Momeen Rabia says: March 3, 2017 at 5:45 am You are right, living in Europe has sheltered me and Muslims like me from the cancerous evil that is wahabism but not all sunnis believe in that, even in india/pakistan I know that no matter what the maulvis may preach, individuals will use their own mind and question. Many will become sheep and follow blindly but I hope not for too long. I m still trying to be an optimist change will come, Momeen. Don t give up on us. I don t know if you still Consider yourself Muslim or not, I understand the latter part of what you wrote above dominates your thinking, but why not be part of the change so

3 many people worldwide are trying to bring? There are Muslims doing great work in india and abroad. Instead of just criticizing the current state of muslim, why not do something about it? I am trying my best to do what I can in my limited time- hence me writing my book. But I agree with you on the widespread reach of Wahhabism : I see this trend overtaking not just south Asian countries but also former secular/secular minded Societies with majority Muslim populations. Just don t forget to include the role of colonialism and foreign interference & projects in having countries that follow moderate islam when you mention why Muslims are increasingly becoming the way they are You may already know who created the Taliban and why, but if you don t then I strongly encourage you to learn. You said: Unless Islamic leadership undertakes sweeping reforms by eradicating all the StoneAge era practices, lets Muslims to live amicably with other faiths and most importantly, Islamic nations open their doors to other religions and let them flourish in their lands- there is no scope for Muslims to become a morally-strong, peaceful and benign community. this is why I said in one of my earliest posts on this website that Islam today (according to me) is the best and the worst religion, it s STILL practiced As per 21st century norms because our leadership everywhere needs to condemn Stone Age practices and eliminate the radical elements drawing so many people to commit to a senseless Jihad that the majority of Muslims condemn because, again, they don t know what jihad is/needs to be in today s context; have you ever heard of the Hadith where Muhammad (saw) said after the last war between Muslims and Meccans that today our physical (war,fighting) jihad ends, the bigger jihad the struggle we will have against our own nafs (soul) begins meaning you need to fight the evil/temptation in your own heart and that is the jihad you are supposed to wage now. But what do some Muslims do instead? You see all too well on tv. Pathetic I am amazed that so many Muslims are calling for their separate countries while living in non-muslim Nations because Shariah law says to respect the law of the land you live in it surprised me to see a small group of people in the UK asking to implement shariah law in a part of London where they live in majority (they were campaigning for that a few years ago). I just don t understand why we as the majority of Muslims cannot see what s right and what s wrong. I respect anyone who wants to live under shariah law it s their life and their chhoice- but don t go trying to force this on others, especially when you are born, raised & live in a secular state. Go to shariah run countries if you are so fond of that. -Rabia

4 Admin says: Dear Momeen and Rabia, It is honor of InterfaithShaadi that intellectuals like you two are contributing. You write exceptionally well and express superbly. Rabia is already a writer and we wont surprise if Momeen is also some high placed lady (again we assume for her to be a lady!). Best wishes to you both. Rabin said why we as the majority of Muslims cannot see what s right and what s wrong, is it they don t see or they don t want to see? One thing we don t agree to you is you point all issues on Unless Islamic leadership undertakes sweeping reforms. We believe it is not the leadership to be blamed but silent Muslim majority supportive Muslims are the issue. Let us give you a few examples: 1) Donald Trump may be religious fanatic but majority Christians are out protesting against him and in support of Muslims. What moderate Christians have to gain from Muslims? 2) Narendra Modi may wish to impose RSS ideologies but majority moderate Hindus will not let him. Why Muslims do not reciprocate #1 and #2 in Muslim majority countries? 3) Hindus had untouchability issue. Starting from Gandhi till today, so many reforms got into practice to eradicate class system. Likewise, why moderate Muslims are not reciprocating to remove talaak and polygamy? Is that because moderates see value in those practices? 4) When Taslima Nasrin was terrorized for expressing herself, why not a single Muslim majority protest was made on street to support her? 5) When a Christian mayor of Jakarta is unduly marginalized, why millions (even 100) did not came in support of him? 6) When Malaysia change marriage laws some 30 years before, not a single protest against government came from moderate majority Muslims, why? 7) When Rabia writes a book, she will go under pseudo name to protect herself. Why fear? Who know many other Muslim authors will be doing the same. Why moderates don t have guts? 8) All Muslims goes to the West, get into marriages with non-muslims (45%), and convert non-muslims (including Rabia did the same). Why moderate Western educated Muslims don t see conversion for marriage as a wrong practice? Why not tolerate the spouse as you found him/her? Why fanatic have more voice in Islam while moderates are silent? Why Jainism or Buddhism has not such problem? Is that something to do with Koranic teachings?

5 Christians killed millions during their crusades but now they got rid of bad elements into them. Likewise, Hindus at mass are progressive. We believe Islam is some hundreds years behind in reforming. We hope majority moderates start taking the blame for not reforming Islam rather than pointing to their leaders. -Admin View videos: Interfaith Marriage with Equality, All you want to know about the Hindu-Muslim Marriage, Sharia: Hindu-Muslim Marriages, Also read: Hindu-Muslim marriages, Hindu-Muslim lovers experiences, Koran on Hindus?, Love-Jihad, Don t fake-convert, Polygamy and talaak, Akansha unwillingly converted to Nusrat, Hindu girl-muslim boy, Idols, pluralism, SRK-can you do it?, Zakir Naik, Christian-Hindu marriages, Sikh- Muslim marriages, Malaysia in love, Marriage laws.
