I would feel happier if I knew *WHO* was being quoted here, given
the current state of muslim politics the world over, but that may be
beside the point.

I bet anti-Islamic forces the world over will love this sort of
behaviour amongst muslims. Maybe someone should tell the Afghans what
happened to muslims in other parts of the world (Spain, India and most
everywhere else..) where they allowed the colonialists to divide them and conqu
er. In that sense maybe the Afghans are *not* the best to lead the muslims, as
they havent got much experience of the ways of the west.

It's also sad that we cant learn to work together without everyone wearing
one badge. I cant help but think twice  when I see someone putting down
other people who claim to be working for the Ummah.

But, Allah knows best.

Salaam,
       Fazal.
