maulana, agla sawal Miss Naghma Siddiqui ne kiya hai Delhi se. unhone aapse poocha hai ke "is it right to say that age of democracy is age of reason, freedom, opportunity and peace?" what is your comment? sahi, sahi baat hai, theek baat hai. maulana, agla sawal ajay ne kiya hai dilli se. unhon ne likha hai ke "maulana, az it correct that lack of modern education and negative leadership has been responsible for today muslim mindset?" haan, to maine khud hi keh diya ke negative leadership sari zimmedari hai.

maashrat ki kya zimmedari hai? baaz to samajhte nahi baaton ko. maashrat sath baaton ko samajhte nahi. jaise jaise ke aaj hi jo maine bataya aap ko, ek top ke arab ka yeh article hai. ab aap log padhenge to kahenge ke wah bhai, achi baat likhi hai. musa ne jo kiya tha, wahi hamein karna chahiye. yeh to firoun hai, yeh bhi. lekin bilkul galat baat hai, baseless hai. hazrat musa ne kab ladai ki thi firoun se? to maashrat cheezon ko explore nahi kar paati.

jo intellectuals hain, jo leaders hain, wo ek unki zimmedari hai ke unko aisi kai logon ko mis lead kar rahe hain.
