Islam Teaches us Respect and then you can disagree

This debate or problem has nothing to do with her being women or anything. This issue is about the basic understanding of Islam and how it reached to you an me. People have given their lives to transmit this deen to us, we all need to show respect to all. Including Farhat Hashmi even if she is mistaken in some respects, in some ways other scholars in the history have made mistakes too.
I personally know her and her husband very good people and sincere but still human like all of us. If you read the fatwa it does not say that they are out of Islam or anything, only thing it says that there are some mistakes in the her understanding of some rulings of sharia. Believe me she is not only one who had this kind of thinking. So we keep her out now.
This issue is related to other broader issue which Ghalib mentioned in the mail that do you let all the people in world make their own operating systems or follow some commonly used operating system. We use intelect and rather reinventing the wheel all the time use the wheel and built on it. Although Islam is Opensource religion but you need to put more effort to understand the basic foundations of it.
But now a days this is a big issue more bigger out side Pakistan rather inside Pakistan.
So if we keep the Farhat Hashmi out of the debate and just talk on the underline Taqleed issue that will be more fruitful.
If you want to understand the underline issue you need to listen to this speech please take time and listen whole thing. In that speed again Molana mentioned Molana Modoodi, so be respectfull of both of them. Remember with all their short comming what they have achieved in Islmaic education we cannot even imagin to do.
Even if you do not follow but you will understand the point of view of your oponents.
