Subject : Defeated arguments
 

Dr. Mansour,
آ
I am reallyآ disappointed about your way of preaching your brand of آ "peaceful Islam" if you go and accuse everybody else who disagree with your extremist views of Islam as "a terrorist" آ following the Wahhabi madhab.آ You argument goes as follows: either you agree with my opinions or you're a terroristآ wahhabi!آ Your views (especially that one about permitting women to lead prayers) are extremist offshoot of the traditional Islam which the entire Muslim ummah (men and women) has adopted since the days of prophet Mohammad (pbuh).آ You come upآ with genius ideas about Quran-only Islam throwing the entire sunnah of Mohammed (pbuh) in the trash can simply because you don't like this scholar or that scholar or because you found one or two weak hadiths in their books.آ If you are a true scholar in Islam as you claim, how are you going to interpret Quarn without understanding the circumstance in which each Ayah was revealed (i.e. through studying the seerah of Mohammadآ pbuh)? آ Please give us a break and do not generalize your opinions on the entire world.آ I respect free discussions and that for every mujtahidآ twoآ rewards if s/he was right and a single reward if s/he missed unintentionallyآ but please don't insult our intelligence and say stuff without even providing any evidence to support your arguments.آ Please don't ridicule other Muslim scholars and call their Ijtihad funny entertainment simply because you disagree with them.
