Tiger Tale Journal -- Cat Thoughts on Life, Religion and Politics

The greater part of what my neighbors call good, I believe in my soul to be bad, and if I repent of anything, it is very likely to be my good behavior. What demon possessed me that I behaved so well? --Henry Thoreau

Tahir Ul-Qadri False Prophet?

Tahir Ul-Qadri is a Muslim cleric who just issued a Fatwa CONDEMNING suicide-bombing and terrorism.

Why are his words not credible?

The cleric spoke of the "Anti-Christ." Since Muslims revere Jesus but do not believe in the "Christ" concept popularized by Pauline Christianity--why would he use such a term?

Even the term "terrorism" is a Western construct. Who was Ul-Qadri really addressing? What audience? Is it a ploy to gain power with pro-Western factions in Pakistan?

His words ring false. Utterly false. And if I, a Westerner, see it as false, how can it resonate within Islam?

I don't agree with you. That's because you really haven't been reading what he wrote. He doesn't claim to have all the answers. He's just really trying to ask some of the hard questions. I really think you should read it over...

Well, a few weeks have passed, so the question now is.....HAVE his words resonated with Islam?

I suspect not. I think he was currying favor with Westerners and pro-Western elements in government.

The "Christ" references seem aimed at the West. That's Pauline theology, not Muslim.
