Maulana, agla sawal Delhi se hai, Mr. Yahya Qamar sahib ka. unhon ne likha hai: "is non confrontation model of muhaddiseen applicable in non muslim countries as this is pre government period? secondly, can the confrontation with istiamari government be compared with muhaddiseen non confrontation model?" yeh sawal bilkul ghair mutalliq hai. masla yeh nahi ke muslim hukumat ho to aap takrao nahi karenge, aur doosre logon se aap takrao karenge.

kisi bhi hukumat mein agar aap ko mawaqe hasil hain to aap ko takrao haram hai, haram! chahe India ho ya America ho. asal masla yeh nahi ke woh hukumat jo baitha hua hai, woh muslim hai ya non muslim, seat par us se koi bas nahi hai. bas sirf yeh hai ke freedom of religion hai ke nahi hai? jab hai to bas phir haram ho gaya. woh jaise muhaddiseen ke zamane mein

muslim hukmaran the, sahi hai, lekin aaj jo hai non hukmaran hain, yeh non muslim hain, bhi sahi hai, lekin illat to mushtarak hai. illat mushtarak hai, yaani mawaqe kar jo woh de raha ho, us se takrao nahi kiya jayega. yaani opportunity khuli rahein aur freedom of religion maujood ho to phir takrao haram ho jayega, chahe woh America ho ya India ho ya koi aur mulk ho. maulana, agla sawal ah kolkatta se hai, mr. rakesh ka. unhon ne likha hai: "maulana sahib, why is it that sincerity cannot be seen these days?"
