Almost going through the emotional traumas for many weeks I was reluctant to comment on any of the issues here on this forum deliberately. But this scathing, ill-informed and pre-mature biased attack on the great Dr Muhammad Iqbal by Waffen SS is just too much for me to keep silent. So dear Waffen SS let me take you on this issue with point by point as I dont know your true intentions and agenda behind this childish attack on the great ideologue of Muslims who have never seen the likes of him since the great Mujadid Hazrat Shah Wali Ullah Muhadith Dehlvis demise in 1762.
Now coming back to your remarks about science and speculative philosophical arguments. Have you ever heard about the greats like Plato, Aristotle, Al-Farabi, Avicenna, Al-Kindi before. Well while assessing you points I dont think so. Because my dear in that age almost every philosophical mind never used to delve deep on those issue of metaphysics unless and until that mind floats in the waves of physical sciences. The names Ive mentioned above were all physical scientists as well of great repute but it would be an interesting thing for an ill-informed person like you that bar Avicenna they got more reputation because of their philosophical ideas and their methods of inquiry and logic are still being discussed in every major educational and strategic institutions of the world. The alumnus of those institutions feels with enormous pride and prestige of learning their concepts till this day with the passage of many centuries of their departure from this transient world.
Again coming back to your explicit attack on Dr Muhammad Iqbal do you think youre fit enough to even dare to question the capability of Dr Iqbal on the physical sciences. Havent you read his Reconstruction of Religious Thought In Islam where one might feel that hes not reading a religious Neo-Platonic philosopher but a master of physical sciences as well which includes the complex issues of Mathematics and Physics. So my dear think first when you open your little mouth on that topic or a personality for which you have no knowledge and comprehensibility at all. By the way Ive seen many atheists, so called liberal secularists and the torch bearers of Neo- Masonics who feel exactly the same way like you when they hear about Dr Iqbal. Am I dabbling too much here or youre the one who will come forward to clear your affiliation with one of those ideological groups. Waiting for your response or rebuke anxiously.
