My dear Kashmiri friends, don't let Geelani take you to Hell!
There is nothing one can do to Geelani. There is no way you can reach him.
But his followers are young Kashmiris. They like him and listen to him.
Teenager to teenager, that is not unexpected. Quite understandable! We
wise parents of our teenage children are well aware of this. Teenagers
only listen to other teenagers. But even when you know your advice is not
wanted; is probably no going to be heard, you love your kids and you tell
them things, even while they are running away from you. In this case,
there is just one thing I would like to tell my young Kashmiri friends,
some of whom I know personally and love immensely. You like Geelani. Quite
natural! He speaks your language. Full of raw enthusiasm, sound and fury.
He has always been a young fire-brand, as he was when I met him first in
1972. But just remember one thing. Syed Ali Shah Geelani is a teenager
past his prime. You have a life to live. You have problems. Very real
problems. Genuine problems. Solve them, in the here and now. Don't let
him take you to Hell. Take Care! Fi Amanillah!Sultan Shahin, Editor,
NewAgeIslam.com tries to reach his young Kashmiri friends with an advice,
perhaps gratuitous.

Not sure whether to call it on or off topic.
I always enjoy reading Sri.Kanchan Gupta's columns.
The following is very insightful. Interesting that one gets reminded of certain *well connected above the law* mighty indians!
Sex, sleaze and sheikhs

Thank you for publishing this from Sultan Shahin.
It is written with more honesty and wit than what all treasonous treacherous prannoyroys,omar & farookh abdullahs, mufti md sayeeds, rsardesais,arundatiroys, syed shahabuddhins, karunanidhis,shekharguptas,asma jehangirs,vir sanghvis,vikram chandras,n rams,mani shankar aiyars, valson thampus,all bible thumping crypto christians etc etc are ever capable of.
Once Valmiki Thapar said :
" There are a lot more voices out there to be heard ".
Because certain people like the treasonous ones above always project themselves as spokespersons of *secularism* and the entire world's well wishers.
Can Deobandis be called Pink Wahhabis?
A correspondent in an interesting internet discussion writes: “Deobandis
were once called Pink Wahhabi [Gulabi Wahhabi] by Late Ghulam
Ahmed Parvez in his masterpiece "Tasawwuf Ki Haqeeqat" [Reality of
Sufiism] but why? For those who try to understand the Deceptive
Deobandis regarding their beliefs on Sufiism, a summary is as under in
English Language [A Summary of three e-books in Urdu].”
The lengths to which sectarian Muslims would go to denounce each other
as Kafir and Unbelievers and "Qabil-e-Gardanzani" (deserving death
sentence) is amazing. And then they also claim that Islam is a religion of
peace! Which, of course, it is! But if Muslims kill each other or at least
prescribe death for each other in their normal discourse and in books
written by the most revered of Ulema on the slightest and the most
meaningless and unnecessary of pretexts, why should any non-Muslim
believe that they are a peaceful people and Islam is a peaceful religion,
particularly as Muslims claim that all their actions are informed by what
is or is not prescribed in their religion.
NewAgeIslam.com would welcome any write-ups in support or rebuttal
of the understandably one-sided arguments given below. If you can
believe it, one of the correspondents calls our most revered of Sufi saints
“Dacoits” or “Dacoits of the Faith”, whatever that means.

The Shia-Sunni divide: How real and how deep? Can we move towards
genuine unity?
Many Muslims throughout the world, both Sunni and Shia, are working
towards dialogue and reconciliation between the two sects. They argue
that it is just not possible to fully comprehend and much less to judge the
historical figures of Islam and their motivations today, 13 or 14 centuries
after the event, which led to the schism in Islam. Indeed, it is not possible
to judge people even when events take place now in full view of the
world media… India’s Shia and Sunni communities can serve as a beacon
of hope in this process. Let us follow up on recent initiatives by
Mohtarma Syeda Hamid and Maulana Kalb-e-Sadiq and keep moving in
the direction of genuine, frank dialogue leading to real unity, says Sultan
Shahin, editor, NewAgeIslam.com.
