Demons rule garba, says imam

[IndoCarib]

Imam is entitiled to his opinion. Garba celebrations will not stop just because of his statement. He should have called upon Muslims to stay away

 

[StormShadow]

AHMEDABAD: Just four days before Navratri, great unease has begun developing around the festive mood. Sufi Imam Mehndi Hussain — famous for having his offer of a skullcap rebuffed by Narendra Modi in 2011 — has said that the garba has been taken over by demons. Hussain, a cleric in a Kheda village, said: "Garba is not a religious festival but entertainment for rakshasas."

Communal hindus should avoid celebrating their festivals since a secular feels it's unjust.

"Garba is not a religious festival but entertainment for rakshasas."

It's funny and sad at the same time no TV debate,no saviour of communal harmony outraged over this statement.

same ppl usually jump out their chairs over some offensive remarks regarding minorities. (hypocrites)

 

[PlanetWarrior]

u demon?


what was the context sir?

He said that the event is losing its religious nature and

Film actors and people with criminal backgrounds dance in provocative clothes.

 

[punit]

He said that the event is losing its religious nature and

so is every thing. But no Stretch of imagination makes it demonic in nature. Also try figuring the significance of Demons in Islamic terms.

Yeh naam hai ya gaali?

If you look at the context in which he made the statement, there is simply nothing offensive about it

He said that the event is losing its religious nature and

... who is he to comment on the religious nature of a Hindu festival ? .... is he a hindu ? is he an expert on Hindu religion ? or an expert on hindu festivals ?

how about Haj has become a festival of Rakshasa since Dawood ibrahim and hafeez saeed goes on Haj ....... what if Modi had said that ? ..... your dirty @ss would have been of fire for 3 days.

What if VHP had made that comment that ID is a festival of demons ? ........ Sick MoFu like you needs to be made to eat $hit in prison.

Eid is a festival of Demons and Rakshasa since terrorists celebrate eid. Since only Asura's eat beef, Eid is a festival of Asuras. I hope you will defend me too the same way you defended the "secular" b@stards.

Well I am certain that the Imam would have made the same statement for example if Muslims started celebrating an Islamic event by women prancing around in skimpy designer events and if the event lost its religious significance. My point simply is that we get offended by every statement without checking the background of the statement. If a Hindu leader or Pandit made the same statement, would it have been offensive. I believe not

I don't respond to personal attacks. When you are mature enough to communicate with me, please do so. Until then grow up and stop embarrassing yourself with your bad grammar and spelling

He said that the event is losing its religious nature and

Sir,
Who compelled them to attend that festival?
That festival is just a tradition of another community.
If they dont want it why should they make comments like this.
Perhaps you maybe right and Imam made that comment on a positive sense.But that cleric should know religion overcome the wisdom of majority of people in India.
They dont take effort to think that deep rooted way.
Religious people of one community must not criticise other religion or their practice.Be it Hindu or Muslim or Christian.

I never want to communicate anything with a dog like you.

LOL at the people who thought you were a Hindu and not a Muslim.

See, that is the point most Indian Hindus here miss. Where did the Imam criticize the Hindu religion or the Navarathi Garba festival itself ? He purely pointed out that it is being used for selfish ("demon") purposes. He maybe a Muslim of India but that doesn't stop the Imam from being a religious authority. If he voiced his concerns about a religious event being hijacked for sinister purposes then that is his right in secular India.

LOL at anybody who may believe that you represent the Hindu voice and the tolerant nature of Hinduism. Now get lost and whilst you are at it, get an education which includes a Hindu education

I represent nobody but myself you disgusting dog. Only a spineless coward will tolerate the poison your spew disguised as a "hindu"

I have no intention of granting ANY of your wish so start worrying about your education or lack of it combined with your traitorous and deceitful nature.

VHP is also a religious organization and authority so its time they too start commenting on the Demonic festival of Eid and Haj.

He has right to pass opinions about an issue in our society.
But you know the politics of religion in North India.Perhaps an educated person from Hinduism will take that it in a positive way .But considering the large illiterate people in
our nation that statement was indeed needless.
An average person can say what would be the response of a common rural Hindu.They will protest against it.
Just think about another scenario.
Air India and GoI spend a lot of money for Haj pilgrims .
But if a priest from other community be it Hindu,Sikh or Christian pass a comment about the expense of the exchequer due to that pilgrim you would see the anger of a common muslims.
Our people psyche are like that.They dont tolerate an opinion from outside of the community.
Majority of our people still give priority to caste and religion than wisdom .Even educated guys in some cases, then you can understand the response of an illiterate person or conservative common people.

What happens in Barelvi sufi jalsas and jaloos? Why doesn't he speak about money-making businesses like Chadar donating in Darghahs and other entertaining superstitions?

Like I said these sufi/Barelvi will take you Hindus for a ride.They say one thing and do some other thing. Indian government is pro-barelvi and pro-shia.Which will prove harmful for national security and integration. They should instead stop demonizing Deobandis and Wahabis and help us.

 

[Etilla]

Not really.

But again some less informed Hindus think Sufis/Barelvis as moderate when the case is opposite.

Imams are demons as they draw inspiration from a demon
