Freedom of choice

(A secular post)

I believe that the dictum that every one should have the freedom to decide his moral code is commendable and worth emulating as a nation.

Hence I support Islamic law for Indian Muslims, in its fullest extent, with the understanding that "Kaffir", at not point will be under its jurisdiction, as long as India is Dar-al-kufr.

They want it. They got it.

PS Apparently Egyptian's Grand Mufti has declared that Muslim are free to change their religion.

Does it change my position ? Not really. Problem is not with a particular interpretation of the holy book. Problem is with this "Word of God" philosophy. As in the present case, there have always been flexible interpretation of the book which were results of interactions or circumstances. Unfortunately the interactions and circumstances can influence either way and one is sure to encounter "inconvenient" interpretations frequently. The difference of course being affinity of untamed passion to wreck havoc is much stronger than to peace and status quo.

Dogma is bad in itself, but Abrahmic Dogma is like being subjected to Mallika Sherawat or Rakhi Sawant.
