Is it me or do the hanafi ulema generally have many differences of opinion amongst their circles, primarily between the indian ulema and the arabian ulema.

i.e. The issue of whether muslim females are permitted to shorten their hair or not?
indian ulema will say no pretty much unconditionally, while the arabian ulema will say yeah though imposing some conditions. (I wonder how many follow indian ulema on that issue !!!!)

Are there any more such fiqh issues which these groups of ulema differ upon?

this report mentions something about the masonic influence in causing war within the middle east area, more specifically within iraq!

what is the feeling of the forum on conspiracy theories??

Is it me or are there some really dodgy characters appearing on some programmes on DM Islam attempting to help people with personal issues................

for instance, one guy comes on and provides wazifay just as an alim does, however, ths guy is crisp clean shaven................not very confidence inspiring..................

Am i being judgemental?????

Any body here been interrogated in an airport?

especially since the dreadful day of g/ll.

I got interrogated for a short while when i visited new york soon after g/ll, but since then realised that muslim countries seem to be more nosy and interogative than non-muslim countries.

Who concurs?
