maulana, agla sawal lete hain. yeh shukr ur rehman sahib ne dilli se kiya hai. unhone likha hai ke i have heard that most of the islamic scholars claim that a muslim should be a fundamentalist towards anti-social elements in the society. how far is this statement valid in the present context? dekhen, masla yeh hai ke kis ayat se yeh nikli hui baat hai? jab tak aap woh ayat na batayen, to main kya is bare mein kya keh sakta hoon?

jo yeh aisa kahe, to isko woh ayat pesh karni chahiye, woh hadith pesh karni chahiye. tab main bataunga ke is hadith ka kya matlab hai, us ayat ka kya matlab hai. baghair iske to hum kuch bol nahin sakte iske upar. maulana, yeh aakhri sawal hai. eh, shahab haider sahib ne kiya hai dilli se. aur unhone likha hai ke maulana, you areright to suggest us to abstain from false religious ego.
