Why don't Muslim scholars focus on such-and-such?
Next time I see such a thread by a non-religious person, I'm going to beat up my neighbor.
Seriously, why do people make such sweeping generalizations, ESPECIALLY if they have spent VERY LITTLE time at the feet of the scholars?

Re: Why don't Muslim scholars focus on such-and-such?
I dont know what this has to do with the original post, but its always interesting to browse sites like islam q-a, and read different fatwas. A lot of the times we skip over good reads thinking 'hey, why do I need to know this? it doesnt apply to me', but its always good to have knowledge handy in case others ask. And you never know, sometimes youre stuck in a position youve never been in before and are made to take a quick decision- in that case you can couple your knowledge (whatever you may have read a scholar suggest to another) with your own hikmah and ta-da!
My advice: Stalk fatwas, not facebook!

On a completely unrelated note--since your post is also unrelated--have you noticed how Islam-qa does not have a single fatwa about al-qaeda, bin ladin, etc? I've searched the site thoroughly and not a single word on this topic! |

For serious.
I dunno about Islam-QA, but I read Sunnipath Q & A for fun.

Re: Why don't Muslim scholars focus on such-and-such?
Being an extreme minority in the Muslim population, female convert living in a non-Muslim land, I have to admit that I find a lot of fatwa sites lacking. For example, a lot of the things they advise you to do in relation to getting along with your non-Muslim family are often either divise, or plain impossible.
Some of the other things they say are great theoretically, but difficult practically. Not that you can really blame them. Most of the scholars are eastern trained, living in the east, and don't really know about the realities of western life.

No significance. They have enough other fatwas against terrorism and such. Do they really need a specific one against this particular person/group? |
