Alhamdulillah for our learned who have responded with this wonderful letter in response to the infamous speech by the Pope. Rather than respond with 'demands for apologies' and political rallies, the scholars of our ummah have put together a thoughtful, scholarly and measured response in the spirit of truth, dialogue and mutual respect. May Allah bless them and allow this letter to highlight to the world the difference between true Islamic scholarship and politicians in the guise of the learned...

Wow, those are some important 38 people incl. the Grand Muftis of Istanbul, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Russia, Slovenia, Syria, Egypt, Oman, Croatia, Kosovo and Uzbekistan.
ReplyDeleteYeah. These are the real scholars that don't get press because they don't rave about stuff. That is why we never hear about them even though they hold such important positions and are very learned... They're not 'sensational' enough to publish in the press :)
