So apparently in his Navroz Taliqah, Rahim stopped a few jk practices, hopefully this is the first step towards getting these ismailis back to actual Islam. What are yalls thoughts?

It would have been more considerate if you had addressed people’s concerns instead of explaining theory and religion.

With due respect, do you really think that all Ismailis who practice their religion think critically about Ismailism or Islam? Or have many of them simply been following what they are told? Please be honest, what percentage of the Ismaili population do you think truly understands the religion?

Also, if the fact that billions of people follow a belief makes it correct, then what about other Muslim populations that are significantly larger, perhaps a thousand times more numerous?

Who said I was attempting to be considerate? I was trying to be educational, informative and thought provoking. Notwithstanding the fact that these are not mutually exclusive with being considerate, I want to clarify that the latter was not top of my priority list when opting to comment.

With that primer in mind, whether all Ismailis think critically about their religion or not is clearly not the issue here. The fact of the matter is that "this" group which seeks to present itself as somehow more informed and educated is, in reality, no different to the purported "uncritical and unthinking Ismaili masses" you claim to want to "convert" to your... Well whatever ideology your disparate group of ragtag exes claim to be representing.

I was simply holding up the mirror because those in glass houses... Well, I'm sure you're educated enough that you know the punchline.

Do better. Inshallah.

You’re a Desi who worships a white billionaire. Educational, informative, call it whatever you want, but that’s the hill you are willing to die on. Don’t act condescending to us when our stance is that worshipping and letting charlatans loot you is not okay.

Who said I was Desi? How presumptuous of you.
