Not really. The lack of consensus on dates for eid is low level on the scale of disagreement. When that diagreement relates to something higher on the scale like blasphemy then the results are far more direct - as we saw. Meaning disagreement over dates cannot be used by anypone to start riots. But over blasphemy they can. At heart of the issue is who is the final arbiter. It's all fine and well everybody talking about Islam and defending it but who is that has the definitive rights to decide?Disagreements are perfectly acceptable and have always been acceptable
In catholocism the Pope is the spiritual head of the Catholics and under him the Vatican gives edicts that are final on matters relating to their religion. If your catholic you then follow that. In Anglican Christianity the Archbishop is the final authority. Who do we have in Islam who can give the definitive exposition on islam? It appears every mullah, in every mosque is espousing his interpretations and all don't converge on even simple things like date for eid.
Specifically in context of Pakistan is the constitution supreme or some mullah who feels he represents as Islam as Khadim Rizvi felt?
Funny thing is as a outsider you can see what the problem is. We don't have a pope, archbishop, supreme ayatollah etc. Instead we have 1,000s of interpretations all vying to be regarded as the 'real Islam'. And often fighting over their faith.Since you guys can’t agree whom
