Bohris and Aga Khani (Ismailis) are a sect within Shia. They call their place of worship "Jamat Khana". Their religious leaders have never claimed title of "prophet". According to my knowledge, they have not violated basic/fundamental beliefs of main stream orthodox islam. Further, they dont...

Wahabis, Sunnis, Shias, Ismailis, Bohras, etc dont have additional prophet. What are your views about Riaz Ahmad Gohar Shahi? He had also claimed Mehdi some years back. For Ahmedis, he could be genuine person to follow.

There is nothing wrong with being a national of India, US, Iran or or even being a Swiss. But the problem arrives when we lose objectivity in our openion. For example, on matters between two parties (US/Iran or Isreal/Iran, etc) nationals of some third countries become devils advocate by...

Nima, Puroshotam is not an Iranian. He is an Indian origin person who considers himself a Caucasian. Perhaps, he is a Swiss national. But unfortunately can’t change color of his skin.

What does anybody mean by secularism in a country where 97% population is muslim? Religion is one of the defining factors of a society. Is UK a secular country where queen is also head of Church of England? Can India enact a law against core values of Hinduism? Is Russia a secular...
