As far I can remember, the so called “Sunni Unity Pledge” has been a disaster for Qadi. He insists that no one should speak about Islam unless you are a scholar. Do I have to remind that all sitting dictators in Muslim world are there because of the blessing of scholars? It’s unbelievable the way he behaves, and I think it is time to remind him that he does not speak for all Muslims but for himself.

I must admit, the more I read about Qadi, the more I despise that guy ( the day I lost any respect of him was how he treated the Muslim hijab http://tinyurl.com/c9v2oj . “Just a piece of cloth”?? Is that how he sees Muslim women?? He certainly reveals his view on women ) How many times have we seen and heard the sweat smooth talk of these men? They are dangerous people.

This is not the time for the Muslim world to surrender our religious rights to men, but we should take it back in our hands which was righteous given by Allah(swt). Too long have they trampled down our rights, and we (I) blame ourselves (myself) that we gave them free ride. We must stop behaving like cult members and learn to think for ourselves. Yes, we need teachers to teach our Deen, but it would be a time where you need to stand for yourself. Similar to your kindergarten teacher — he or she will not become lifetime teacher. You have to remember that this teacher has some valuable tool you want to learn from - and that should be your only relationship and always remember you can reach the position and if not exceed the level of your teacher’s expertise.

And let me give an example that scholars can bee very wrong http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2009/03/090330200821.htm

and you would do to them a great favour if you regard them as human beings - just like everyone else - and not someone who is ‘holly’ and untouchable — and that goes for everyone. No one is perfect.

While every other people progress, our youths are held back by such imports of savage mentality. Such people of such quality, will only reproduce more generations similar to the current ones who are nothing but slaves.

I find it interesting how people always fall for the “unity” talk when it comes from people from a Wahabbi background, despite the fact their ulema and activists are busy attacking tradtitional Sunni beliefs as kufr, bida and shirk.

One good example is Abu Ammar Yasir Qadhi who doesn’t waste a single sentence in any public talk or lecture attacking our aqidah and promoting his own. But because he is signed up to a so called “Sunni Unity Pledge” he is given an easy ride.

Also your assessment is somewhat contradictory, how can Pirs who don’t speak english cosy up to a government they don’t share a language with? The reality is that “Braelwi” ulema have probably more internal diversity then any other group of ulema- certainly far more than Salafis and Deobandis. The situation in London distorts the picture somewhat but when we consider the size of the Walthamstow Eid Milad un Nabi Jaloos and the fact that there are several others in London and that the majority of masjids outside London are “Braelwi” we may wonder who the emphasis should be put upon to seek unity.
