What's new

Playing Ludo Star is HARAM

It was, most certainly. Think about a mindless crowd chanting on its own without understanding much and a professor making a point against a nation? There's a difference. But it didn't warrant a negative rating.

The French would say Cest lavie - such is life. :)

Of course. His chaddies are too tight. :D

Now for a nice cool drink and may be a bike ride to a nice spot.

C'est la vie!

Still, we don't see many clergies doing the same in other religions and people getting affected by it, that much. Or they have come a long way since that used to happen with them? Can/will be transform?

And do you think that if the central Muslim authorities (read: plural) and clergies don't introduce reforms, if they don't change with time, there's a chance that they will go extinct and powerless (more and more people already have started questioning these retards, than before) like the Roman catholic church?

Yeah, the greatest fear of humans is the fear of the unknown and since nobody has returned from death (except Lazarus maybe) to tell the story of the beyond, first hand. People need someone for reassurance and hope. See, I understand the basics of it, but I can't figure out the solution. Not an effective one, at least.



Everything is connected with money, that is what I always say. Looks, education, personality, quality, caliber whatever else you call it, don't matter. The same is true for religion, always has been.

"In God we trust, all others pay taxes" huh?
Islam is a religion where majority of its adherents are in third world socities in the south whilst Christianity is embedded into the North. Go back to 1100 ad or 1200 ad when the roles were reversed in terms of prosperity between the north and the south and see the ethos of muslims then vs now(and Christianity then vs now)
So its not all religion and clergy as much as an amalgamation of various socio economics that come into play.

I see.

Do you believe that with the passage of time, the interpretation of religion became too literal somehow?

I think with the passage of time, the interpreters lost all other knowledge aspects. In other words, less and less interpretors were also economists/scientists or anyone with more thoughts than just reading the books on their mind.

Then more and more politics crept in, and as with history- political inclinations also tainted interpretations(perhaps not always willingly but influence they did)

Another aspect was their inability to match progress in ideas whilst keeping core religious thought intact.
I cannot overemphasize the damage done to Muslim society and progress by the Mongols, they took away a well established process of both scientific and religious research and growth by burning both the minds and the records of those minds to the ground.

What we sometimes forget to notice is that there was a mini-rennaissance in religion that happened in Turkey; the clergy was rejected and regardless of opinion, on the ground the emerging society was/is(still) both progressive but also deeply religious undee the surface(more so in line with core principles than overt exhibitionists like Pakistanis).

The issue with that formula is for that to happen, the state has to be very weak but a large percentage of educated people well aware of religion and willing to understand more.

Pakistan for e.g, education and religion are not mutually beneficial. Since the seperation has been sown in since the days of 1857 that its become reactionary to society if their core faith and values are questioned.
