Khuda K Liye

Hats off to Shoib Mansoor.

For the first sum1 managed to go agaist the religious lobby in the country. Thanks to Musharraf regime. If it had been Zia ul Haq, Shoib Mansoor wud have been hanged!

But the thing is that the way society is behaving at present, or rather way to dictators are moving the society, I think we are going to end up in a disaster. May it be the movie, may it be the Lal Masjid, the point is that we are increasing the gap b/w the two extreme elements of a religious society (fundementalism and liberalism).

As a result, a muslim individual is going through an identity crises. He wants to be religious, but does not! Because he thinks that this wud lead to Talibanization. If he wants to be on the other extreme, he fears of the FIRE of HELL. Then where should he go? Become a moderate muslim?

Im very much agaist the concept of a Moderate Muslim. I dont understand y have we made layers within a religion. Religion is a constitution which has lets say consists of 10 clauses. does this mean that if one abides by all the 10 clauses he is an "extremist", and if he follows 6 of them, he is a "moderate muslim". Then this wud mean that a moderate muslim wud
-offer three prayers instead of 5
- 25 fast instead of 30
- have a glass of wine once a week
- can do Zina once in a life time
- and whole lot of things !

On one hand we have the Liberalists, and on the other the so called fundementalists. But the things is the fundementals are also destroying the society. We can not deny the fact that the Talibans are muslims. We can not deny that Lal Masjid had arms and militants. Ho sakta hai k it is just the the dirty game of politics, but who is suffering? The religion

So we as muslims, have messed up with our religion, we have messed up our politics, we have messed up our social life, and we have even messed with the messes around us!

But u know what, everything is justified if it is done In the Name of God.....Khuda k Liye

I like your post. I completely agree with you on the point that there is no 'Moderate Muslim'.
