Reply to Mufti Tariq Masood for defending Chairman NAB & Disinformation on Quran

[PakistanRoshanMustaqbil]

Not you specifically but its an old argument Ive heard over and over again hat because moulvis do nikah and jinaza somehow they are the only chosen ones who can do that and/or because of that they hold some special place in society and beyond reproach.

I have no idea what you mean by "molvi" - it could mean anything. But if you're talking about ulama (plural of alim i.e. scholar) then absolutely, an alim does have a special place in society in the same way as a doctor, barrister, engineer or other qualified individual. In the UK an alim is recognised as holding a degree in Islamic Theology and I personally know three alims who are also PhDs, a solicitor, a senior university lecturer and so on. Only in Pakistan genuine ulama seem to be bundled by the public into the same group as the frauds who pretend to be ulama but in reality are divisive trouble-makers.

I know of many but personally know only one, graduate of Al Azhar and Damascus University , author of 6 books last time I checked and am actually good friends with him. But in desi circles moulvis refer to fraudster pretending to be alims with multi coloured beards and weird headgear and robes as the only qualifications with little to no real knowledge of the deen.

Well said, many professional Molvis want their own chair hat and are sold out and most spread hatred against fellow Muslims of different sects and call each other Kaffar.

FYI I did watch your video this time and I have to let you know I disagree with you on this.
