A correspondent in an interesting internet discussion writes: “Deobandis were once called Pink Wahhabi [Gulabi Wahhabi] by Late Ghulam Ahmed Parvez in his masterpiece "Tasawwuf Ki Haqeeqat" [Reality of Sufiism] but why? For those who try to understand the Deceptive Deobandis regarding their beliefs on Sufiism, a summary is as under in English Language [A Summary of three e-books in Urdu].”
The lengths to which sectarian Muslims would go to denounce each other as Kafir and Unbelievers and "Qabil-e-Gardanzani" (deserving death sentence) is amazing. And then they also claim that Islam is a religion of peace! Which, of course, it is! But if Muslims kill each other or at least prescribe death for each other in their normal discourse and in books written by the most revered of Ulema on the slightest and the most meaningless and unnecessary of pretexts, why should any non-Muslim believe that they are a peaceful people and Islam is a peaceful religion, particularly as Muslims claim that all their actions are informed by what is or is not prescribed in their religion.
NewAgeIslam.com would welcome any write-ups in support or rebuttal of the understandably one-sided arguments given below. If you can believe it, one of the correspondents calls our most revered of Sufi saints “Dacoits” or “Dacoits of the Faith”, whatever that means.

The Shia-Sunni divide: How real and how deep? Can we move towards genuine unity?
Many Muslims throughout the world, both Sunni and Shia, are working towards dialogue and reconciliation between the two sects. They argue that it is just not possible to fully comprehend and much less to judge the historical figures of Islam and their motivations today, 13 or 14 centuries after the event, which led to the schism in Islam. Indeed, it is not possible to judge people even when events take place now in full view of the world media… India’s Shia and Sunni communities can serve as a beacon of hope in this process. Let us follow up on recent initiatives by Mohtarma Syeda Hamid and Maulana Kalb-e-Sadiq and keep moving in the direction of genuine, frank dialogue leading to real unity, says Sultan Shahin, editor, NewAgeIslam.com.

Masjid wahin Banayenge’ is stupid
This is in response to Sultan Shahin responds to Ghulam Muhammed’s nightmare vision
To stand firm on false prestige would do no good to the Muslim community. To dream of rebuilding the Babri mosque in the same place is asking for the moon in the present circumstances. Muslims could never get back the disputed site as the court that could not decide the case in so many years, would not dare to give its verdict in the near future. All odds are against them. The question is what if one mosque is lost? Will that be the end of Islam in India? That apparently is not the case as Muslims have lived without the mosque since 1992. What benefit Muslims would draw by their insistence on rebuilding the mosque in the same place?

Sultan Shahin responds to Dr Mookhi Amir Ali's comments on the retrieval of Babri land and the clamour “Masjid Wahin banayenge”
“Tilting at windmills is rather futile and leads nowhere. As a Muslim I try to see what I or my community can do to ameliorate the situation we are in. Does this mean I am advocating we take no help from the system, from our fellow-citizens, the authorities, the Supreme Court? No, I am not saying that at all. What I am saying is: do not put any more strain on the system that is best for you, don’t weaken it further by demanding that it do the impossible in the present circumstances, and see if there is something you can yourself do to help yourself. I am only saying do what Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) did in similar, though less trying circumstances. Go to: http://www.newageislam.com/ArticleDetail.aspx?ArticleID=890 and read the heart-warming story of the Prophet’s statesmanship”, says Sultan Shahin.
“By this my humble yardstick, Mr. Sultan Shahin, you seem to be doing excellently. I like your prose. I like your ideas, mostly. The people like you are often accused of speaking the language of the critics of Muslims. Your article “Muslim Penchant for spinning state-sponsored conspiracies: Will it turn into a self-fulfilling prophecy? .” was an eye-opener. I particularly liked your response to one or two rejoinders. However I can not agree with you very much on the subject of Babri Masjid. There can be no doubt that the resolution of the Babri dispute is in the best interest of the Muslim community. However from a Muslim’s point of view the problem is not as trivial as you make it out to be. They demolished a mosque in the full glare of the television camera. There is no Muslim who won’t be seething with anger at the memory of that sight on the television. You have said that the mosque being demolished was a functioning temple! Pardon me but you have rubbed it in. You have spoken the language of the Hindu Right who have called the Masjid a “dhancha” where for over 40 years no namaz was offered. I am sure, Sultan Shahin Sahab, you know why it had become the functioning temple since 1949 and why no namaz was offered for over 40 years”, wrote Dr Mookhi Amir Ali.
