Brother Anajmi, when a self-proclaimed martyr blows himself and kills himself, that is suicide, and I do not care what the Palestinians and other like minded people believe. When he kills himself and other innocent civilians who had nothing to do with his misery, it is suicide and homicide, both are...

Good job Mumin 110, I thought this fell out of your brain but when I did google search I found your statement on page 3 of Libel, Slander and defamation. I don't know what your point is, but read on who can sue? This from google too. "The statement(s) alleged to be defamatory must also be a fal...

This is what surprised me most: Burhanuddin, 93, is to his followers as Pope John Paul II is to Roman Catholics. Burhanuddin acts as the both spiritual leader and ambassador of the Muslim religion and peace. He has been received as a state guest by countless world leaders including General Perez Mus...

Dear M110, Here is your quote and believe me that was not a typo. I have ignored your typos, but read what you wrote and also read my post prior to your comment below. I never mentioned Lisab. You did. You claim to be intelligent so live up to your credentials and Iqra: "Allah forbids lisab e D...

Brother Mohd Hussain, Thanks for your support. I agree no use responding to this man. He claims he is very educated but the kind of language he uses does not support his credentials. I have met a lot of educated people and I find that education makes people humble but this man is outright arrogant. ...

Dear Mumeen 110, Don't you think the King of Islam benefitted better audience than Congressmen and Senators and Police Commissioner? This is what I meant. To me they are still small fries for the self-declared King of Islam. You think you are very educated, but brother, like confuscious said, "...

That's right, five "dignitaries"!!! (mostly low level officers) and more autographs. I bet more people were invited but they regretted the invites. Keep up the good work. I thought the Syedna was a King??? So why such low turnout to meet the King? No Muslim leaders were invited? Or did the...

Mumin 110, Thank you for taking time to respond. Yes, I did count five man and four women and a child in the reception area. I saw that on another site and so I apologise. For the rest of your message which was in Dawat ki Zaban, I do not understand it as my parents never took the time to teach me t...

Just looked up the mumineen site under the subject "dignitaries' reception". Where are the dignitaries? Anybody knows which dignitaries attended the reception? I only see a framed letter from "somebody" and some white robbed topiwallas. May be the bohoras are inthe business of co...

Dear Mumineen, Charity begins at home. Sometimes people cannot speak up because of their own track record against their own people? Can Saddam speak up now? No. Even if he did, nobody would listen to him because he has done a lot of bad things to his own people. So sometimes people do not speak up b...

Dear Love 4m Your Syedna has one way street when it comes to money and that ends at Saifee Mahal. He only knows how to take, but not to give. If he wants to give somewhere he asks the bohoras to raise money and then donates in his own name. He has no hesitation in usurping properties belonging to wi...

Dear Omabharti, People floating around in white with topis and big beards are perceived as a threat these days. They are scary. Look at them. May be the govt. decided that these people posed a threat, not realising that these very people are victims of threat every single day from their very own. Ma...

Love4M, What are you trying to prove in pic one. Are you trying to tell us that a non-bohori is kissing hand of your dai. Well, look where he came from. May be you can then understand whether it is fuel for the progressive to burn with, or laughing material. The man kissing the hand is a messenger f...

Dear Love 4, You say: ________________________________________________ Oe Kabuterr.....Mohd hussain......u try hard...i wish u best of luck......but also i assure you that 10,000 more mohd.hussain like you will not succeed in what u r trying for.....u guys r burning in jealousy... __________________...

Dear Humsafar, I forgot to answer one more point. You say: ________________________________________________ ... Doesn't he have an obligation to use his stature and "rutba" to speak up against injustices around him? Maybe it's possible that the people who give him honarary citizenship will...

Dear babu, In response to your: "Oye Kabootar Ask any of your friend who lives in UDAIPUR's Vazirpura ....he will tell you the truth. Western style walee achchee hotee hai ya Indian.... Dont Mind yaar " Why ask Udaipur's Vazirpura or even the Dai himself? Just ask the Seniors and the sick ...

Dear Humsafar, 1.Your post was very interesting. For a "reformist" you did a better job than the orthos. In your last para. You were crying out for the Dai's "guidance" to the West for whatever its worth. 2. What arab lineage does he have? Please review your history. 3.If yo go b...

Sultan of Bohoras?? Who bestowed that title upon him? I do not think he has subjects. Subjects would rise against him, in a democratic society. What he has, are blind slaves who cannot see their way. Well good luck you guys.

I have always wondered Why are the Dai's (in my book a missionary) children Shezadas and Shezadees? Even his brothers' and sisters' children are referred as shezadas and shezadees. What title does he possess? If he has any title that Makes his kids Princes and Princesses, please let me know. I am ju...

Dear SFA, I have found the Truth and am very happy where I am. I should have done this long ago but was afraid of repercussions against my family members, especially my aged parents. In the end I decided that it was my soul that I had to worry about. When I go up, my family was not going to come wit...

Thank you Hur, for concluding that Bohoras do pray differently from others. Period. I do not care if the Shiahs do this or that. Bohoras pray differently. They include the Dai's names in their prayers. Without the Dai's name the prayers are null and void. This is what we were taught. No Sunni does t...

Dear Mohd Hussain, Why don't you, yourself, do this? You seem to know all the connections. You do not have to be in the USA to do this. And while you are at it, why don't you tell them that they also perform FGM on young girls. They did so when Syedna was in Houston for several days, in the back of ...

Dear Muslim First,

Thank you for the important information on turbat. I came to know about it when I was in Syria.

People out of maliciousness would just exaggrate things. I, for one, don't think you guys worship stones.

Dear Hur,

You say:
but no Imam can just eliminate required fasting or the ritual prayers as taught by the Prophet. The Imams themselves state this.

So how come the bohoras pray differently from the Sunnis and Shiahs?

The Bohri prayers are not changed by the Imams but by the Dais.

Dear Hur, I forgot to acknowledge that the Imams did close businesses for the 10th of mohorram, but they or their followers did not do mattam. How does mattam after every farz fit in Fatimid doctrine? If a Dai being a missionary can change rules, why can't an Imam change what he thinks is good for h...

Dear Hur, As egards your 1 and 2 your bohora friends have lied through their teeth. Every year when our family goes to pay their Zakah, they tell the Amil they can pay this much, then the Amil says, no. no. Pay this much. Then they argue. Please read Muslim's article on Mawla Ali. He instructed not ...

Dear Muslim,

Your response to Hur is excellent. This has been my argument with Hur, who has failed to explain why Bohoris are forced to pay, pay, pay, until they are buried.

Africawalla, as a side note you made regarding the influence of bohras. In east Africa, as small a minority the bohras are...they have a huge influence on the economy and trading in most of the main cities like Nairobi, Mombasa, Dar Salam, and Kampala for their size and compared to other shiah sects...

Dear Mumineen, You say: A number of years ago, the Pakistani Government (I think under the Zia Presidency), to appease the Mullas (Jamat-e-Islamiyah) were about to delare the Aga Khani Ismaili Community as a minority community like the Qadyanis and Bahais. His Highness The Aga Khan got wind of this ...

Dear Mohd. Hussain, Here is the topic to your heart in case you missed it on "Bohoras contribution to Bush" posted today on the Board by OMBHARTI. While Bush and his administration is bashing Mulsim, attach is the sample list of Bohras including AAMIL of LA who contributed to George Bush i...
