You assumed I want to impose Islamic law, this is not a scientific way to answer; any way, I didn't invite your narrative; I already answered and put a full stop on the debate by saying,'the practice depends on many variables' and this statement can be changed into a book and that's why I wrote 'if you understand what variable mean in my sentence'.
I think you invite those to your institutions who follow your line of argument as you also revealed your seminar experience (which in my view is a very, very limited exposure to Islam); mine is different. I am among those who are invited to give a talk to (A level) secondary and graduate students.
(and please take this as a friendly note boil down is not broil down, at least in the dictionaries I have)
I guess defaming the source is the way you argue, so that's where you were invited to give seminars? In that case, good luck, I won't answer back the same way.
Secondly, you did not ask for a scientific answer, you mentioned me and asked for my credentials. I answered you casually because I honestly do not want to waste effort. I have written two pieces here, search them up to know a little about my opinion.
Thirdly, I did not narrate my opinion on the seminar at all, that was merely a picture of what goes no here. Ask around I'm sure every Pakistani can narrate a similar event to you. We are a diverse people, the only unity we have is in our own minds, in terms of faith, it is not a political reality and neither a social one.
Fourthly, you might have ended the debate but I did not even engage you, you only mentioned me, I read and responded. So I did not even know that you had given out the last judgment on the issue. I was not even debating, btw.
Fifthly, take this as friendly advice too, it's
A' Levels not Level. See, you can't give one subject and that's how it is said world over, you never know that in one of your seminars you'd have to say the term and that'd be embarrassing, eh? And this is not just in my dictionary but all of them, actually, but you're welcome to research.
PS
broil down is a Yorkshire expression, broiling is a cooking method, my grandad served there during WWII and got his training there so I picked up from him. This is an expression so not really in dictionaries or dictionar
ies as you own, which I'm sure are great.
