I didn't had any intention to participate in any online debate because it is not much effective...but when i saw people here criticizing Ulemas, not just criticizing, infact abusing them for no obvious reason, I had to came in.
I dont know why people blame ulemas (By, Ulema, i mean ulema-e-haq..not the garbage)for the worst political, social and economic conditions of the country..I havent seen any righteous alim ever justifying such terrorist activities like the recent incident of attacking Malala...saw a post here that mullahs are limited to just cursing america, israel, or other muslims sects and dont teach about tolerance, family relationships etc...well i heard my mosque's Imam in Jumma sermon for the first time speaking against America(In fact not america, it was about Yahood-o-Nasara) for their recent blasphemous acts..Otherwise i have ever heard him speaking about the rights of parents, the importance of sunnah, Ikhlaq etc..(Although more than half crowd join after the khutbah has ended so that they will not get bored)...and so is the case in respect of dozens of other ulemas i know...
I admit that there are people who r not deserved to b called ulema and are just contaminating their names...but let me ask u a thing..if a doctor commits a crime in the course of his duty, do we curse all the doctors?? we just switch the doctor and looks for other..then y is that if a person sees something bad in an alim, all the ulemas are being abused?? Our media portrays those persons mostly who are not desrved to b called alim...
I am not from a religious background...I had the same vision about the ulemas that our media portrays when i was away from them practically...but when i got involved with them, i came to knw who the real ulemas are... people criticizing them may not know about mufti taqi usmani, mufti rafi usmani, mufti adnan akakhel, mufti abu lubaba, maulana ismail rehan, maulana aslam shekhupuri Shaheed, maulana tariq jameel, and many others who devoted their lives to Islam and pakistan...
The mistake is on our part as well...for our worldly-studies, we look for the best institutes and best teachers..but when it comes to deen, we say :"Molvi sahab abhi to bachy so rahy hain, raat ko ajayega" "molvi sahab zara jaldi parha dena"...we are satisfied at even the lowest part of the islam..we dont even investigate the person teaching islam whether he is actually an alim or not...and when any incident happens, again ulemas are abused and blamed..we say that madarsahs should teach science and other worldly studies but what do our institutes teach about islam?? our engineer, doctor doesnt even gets to know about the basics of islam from their universities, then y do we blame madarsahs for not teaching these studies? (Although madarsahs are taking steps towards the combination of both studies..Jamia-tul-Rasheed madarsah is an epitome for people...MBA and many other course are offered there for alims...Kulyatul-Shariyah, being a compressed alim course, is offered for graduates..but does anyone, blaming the ulemas and thinking himself an itellect, has the dare to devote 4 years for islamic studies after completing their graduates or masters? )...
When it comes to Taliban, i will nor justify neither talk about TTP...but i have knowledge about the Afghan Taliban (Under Mullah umer's command) who are fighting for the freedom of their country...i dont think that fighting for independece of their country is terrorism in any sense...the terrorist acts like sprinkling acid on women faces are not the acts of taliban as stated by Mullah umer in his Eid greeting...they are devoted to islam and their country for which they are still being supported by more than 70% afghans...
(I was in a bit hurry so my comment is a bit unorganaized....appologies for that :) )
