Koto, I am not in the business of snooping into exchanges that don't involve me but just as you were tempted to respond to Karamba's opinion piece, I could not resist but point out the irony in your following statement: ".....if I do not put to you that you are if not biggest Idiot and Ignorant on this earth." I wonder which "Dara" you learnt this from. I sure wouldn't wanna send my kids to such a "dara". In essence, you have vindicated Karamba's observation that some of us will do anything - sensible or not - to defend our loyalty to these people. There are genuinely knowledgeable and humble religious scholars who would actually advise their kin to desist from extravagant acts or behaviours expr essed in Karamba's piece. You would've earned my respect if you had endeavored to explain the concept of "WASILLAH/talibeh" to those of us who have no clue what that is instead of the vituperations as shown above. For now Karamb's makes more sense to me. Good night.
