[QUOTE]Originally posted by misfit: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by QueenBee: [qb] What is dangerous about charismatic "religious" figures is somewhat underlined by some of the posts here. Regardless of the religious authenticity of their statements, people get swept up by the excitement, by the underlining message of unity in faith, of allegiance to a common belief... mob psychology takes hold? possibly. But people lose sight of the details, passing over the comments they don't dig and warming themselves in the collective glow of a strong message. Meanwhile, the more a thing is repeated, the more people start to believe it is true. The less they question it. Where exactly in the holy Quran or the Sunnah did Mr. Mohammed indicate that taking off a "veil" is the greatest sin? If it is not represented within these sources, who is anyone to speak for Allah in proclaiming the level of a sin? I'm writing this without any slant one way or the other regarding the hijab. But like boot cut jeans or elizabethan collars, i think the current version of the hijab is a fashion. Whatever. I think having your ears covered by fabric all the time outside your house is disabling and potentially dangerous. me needs me ears. I'm only in a position to comfortably comment on this because I live in a free society that separates church from state, except in the case of christianity, hahaha. My gut reaction to Amr Khaled is much akin to the reaction I might have to listening to Joel Osteen (sp?) or any other televangelist. Inspiring at times, maybe, but subject to scrutiny, always.
