Dawoodi Bohra Forum

Critical_Thinker wrote You are exaggerating again ghulam For someone (critical thinker) to object to online chats between the sexes (aka modern day dating), she has no qualms whatsoever shamelessly engaging in hot conversations 24/7 past 4 days with the brothers on this forum, whom she doesn't even...

You contradict yourself by saying someone is 'known' but at the same time 'anonymous'. Have you worn blinkers ?? Read my statement once again, I said.... Most of the posts are by known writers although many of them operate on this forum on anonymous basis. 'Known' writers? 'Known' by who exactly? Y...

Which post are you referring to ??

This one of course! viewtopic.php?f=1&t=10235#p145428

Critical thinker I agree to you that it does require proof. You can also search proof on Google and you will find some of these there like the "‘Report on Violation of Human Rights of Dawoodi Bohras’. " Tell me when a non believer states anything an abde requires proof although it can be ...

This Community is not anybody's Bap Dada Ke Jageer ...!!! We will NOT leave this; this is our community and we have developed it. Those who have turned it into Cult should leave; those who have usurped and hijacked this community. The current 'royal' family are a bunch of outsiders to this communit...

And what do you call a Bohra Boy and Bohra Girl going out together after engagement without Chaperon..( I suppose Bohra customs take precedent over Islamic principles --according to you) This is quite common amongst progressive bohras although quite rare amongst the traditional bohras. Sister, I an...

This is quite common amongst progressive bohras although quite rare amongst the traditional bohras. Either you are a Lier-Blind or stupid if you are not aware of this practice among Abde Bohras....so which one? It is practiced far more amongst the progressives, do you hate us too? And you still hav...

Critical Thinker, This site and the forum are run by individuals from Udaipur. We are reformist Dawoodi Bohras. We finance the site ourselves and with donations from a few generous members. The ads have been put up only recently. The charges you have leveled against us - that this place is run by w...

One final note and important ... Udaipur is significant, this forum is insignificant. since that is your final conclusion, it only strengthens my impression that all you are here to do is heap scorn on this forum. you need to read the posts on this forum more thoroughly before jumping to conclusion...

Maethist, I am not a boot licker of anybody, I strongly agree with some, somewhat agree with some and disagree in the same fashion. Boot licking is a 'qualification' of abdes (and it is not restricted to boot licking only!). This is an Open forum; it is not a Kothari jamatkhana where you praise the...

Br AZ I think this Critical Thinker is none other than Matehist. If you see there postings they look very similar . Both of them accused me of my association with Anajmi and both despised this forum but both are very actively involved and both invoke WAHABI WAHABI at the drop of hat. Very eerie sim...

Do you have any proof of your claim that many on this forum have suffered retribution? Apart from mr insaf, I doubt anybody here has revealed who they really are, so how could this happen? sister, there is a simple mechanism here on this forum on the upper left hand side, you can use it to send pri...

sister critical thinker, i have a few questions for you: 1. you have said that this site is 'insignificant'. pray, then why are you here, to be a part of this 'insignificant' site, or to heap insults and ridicule on it? 2. it is your conclusion that the reformists have done nothing. what have you d...

Yes, because 'dating' negates islam.

As matheist bhai might say, isnt anajmi your maula SBM?

Critical Thinker How did you find about this forum and how come you are so active if you donot like anything about this. Why are you wasting your important time on this forum which only reaches a miniscule number. Your time according to you will be better spent on making MORE ROTIS FOR LOT MORE KHU...

To your point though, I have to disagree again. In reality, the significance of things does lie in the numbers. Even moreso, it corresponds with the outward results. We can all see that the progressives havent even put a scratch on the kothar, so the results are non-existent. It would be a wonderfu...

I am a Muslim; that's it. I do not want to be in any sect. I cannot say if Wahabis hate others or not as I am not a Wahabi. I however know bohras hate ALL others and I know this because I was born as a bohra and still in the chains ............ yes, you may call me coward or hypocrite but I have my...

We can all see that the progressives havent even put a scratch on the kothar, so the results are non-existent. For years I've been battling this notion, this mindset, which burdens the reformists with the onus of chaning the Kothar. The refrain goes: Reformists should do this, reformists should do ...

I said I found the article amusing, how does that make me uptight]

Yes- But
Amusing..But

The But negates the "amusing"

Yes, because 'dating' negates islam.
Does being a practicing muslim makes me uptight in your eyes?

Critical Thinker, The question you asked me has been sufficiently answered by various members. Now you need to really think critically. Matam was just symbolic, so 'show' the grief of Hussain, it was never meant to be 'purjosh' .......... do you think Hussain would have wanted the style of matam we...

Zinger and (HYPO) Critical thinker Tell us what is the meaning of MAATAM to abde followers For a normal person, a MAATAM is expression of grief and a normal intelligent person will not express grief for the KHUSI of someone. An free person will not express grief for the happy occasion of someone ge...

bro zinger and like ones it is not the matam per se they are against. and they are not even mocking matam. they are against the way it has been manipulated by kothar and the way it is being done today at the drop of hat or for any occasion without knowing anything.--like matam at station when SMS a...

zinger wrote:You say we mock Mataam? Have you seen any of the posts here that mock the way Maatam has done??!!

Does anyone remember the video of Maatam being done in a Reformist mosque????

That should tell you a thing or two about who mocks Maatam

What video is this? What was it showing?

Even though we know there are many wrongdoings, we should not lie or exaggerate……We must stick firmly to the truth, otherwise we are no better than our opponents. . Agree with you totally ! however certain posts are opinions of forum members, it would be subjective to classify them as exaggerations...

I am sure there are many skeletons in many closets, but is there any proof? Without evidence, it is merely rumour which only a few people will believe. We can discuss further on what kind of evidences would suffice to prove one’s acts. Initially when I read about atrocities of kothar on commoners a...

Are you saying that you believe western style 'dating' is (or should be) part of islam? Critical What about Bohras having engaged for 3 years and before the marriage, girl spending time with their in laws, I have seen girl from India engaged to a boy in USA and came and stayed with her in laws for ...

Nice article and bohra way of finding a spouse is no way prescribed by islam. I am going through this so writing from my experience. men only want to talk talk talk , get your pics, date but never marry. I am so frustrated with this system. When did this happen in our parents age that they would ta...
