You need a shaira acceptable proof to accuse ZH of being the follower of a false profit but you don't need any proofs to accuse Hamid Mir of being a "CIA agent" on national television. Neither do you need any proofs to label Hussain Haqqani as an agent or for that matter Pervaiz Hoodbhoy as a RAW agent. You don't need to provide proofs for labeling anybody as an agent. All that requires is a moral high ground gained by rants and a laal topi.
Anyways, accusing somebody of being the follower of a false prophet requires one to rely on credible evidence and proof but ZH hasn't ever replied in complete denial. He first claimed that the guy mentioned time and again is Zaid Zaman and he's Zaid Hamid but he himself changed to his full named, Syed Zaid Zaman Hamid.
That letter in defense of Yousaf Ali published in Dawn by the name of Z.Z. Hamid only enhances suspicion.
IMO, his religious views aren't a problem unless he is using religion as a proving ground for his claims (which he is to a certain extent).
It is beyond mine and anybody else's authority of challenging somebody's faith. It is his and the creator's matter and let's leave it to that.
I am not accusing him of being a follower of a false prophet. As a matter of fact there are rumours that Yousuf never even claimed prophecy. Like I said .. Allah knows best. But based on the limited information we have and Zaid's replies don't seem to satisfy me. And based on that I have every right not to agree with him and even question him. Islam gives me that much of freedom. Don't you think?
Secondly, I also see you seem to have some grudges against Hamid Mir etc. and you are clearly accusing them of being CIA members etc. I am no fan of these people but as you said I need sharia proof to accuse Z. Hamid but I hope you know that accusing someone directly is known as 'Buhtaan' and that is a very serious offence in Islamic Sharia code of conduct! I have been cautious in my posts not to cross that line .. and therefore I would urge you to do the same.
All in good spirit my friend.
