Re: reformist have missed the golden opportunity!

Re: Maatam for mind control and subjugation..

Why do people like you come here when you dont believe in the progressive or traditional bohra faith? Nobody is forcing you to do matam, so why does it bother you so much if we do matam? The current 'Purjosh Matam' and matam at each and every occasion and matam for Khushi of Maula has NEVER been pa...

Some reformists did try to intervene in the court case. They prepared a statement and hired a lawyer, but after much consultation the lawyer advised that they have no locus standi in this case. The refromists' angle was, I believe, to state that Nass is a dicey business and there have been disputes...

Re: Ashara 1436 Surat

Intriguing thread.
One person spreads a total lie, and another calls him out, using admittedly quite angry language.
The person who lied is not questioned, however the one who got angry about the lie is criticized.
What a sad state of affairs.
