Dawoodi Bohra Forum

A measure of this site's significance is two-fold: 1. Primarily, it allows Bohras a freedom to express their views about their community without someone watching over their back. 2. Secondarily, it has the potential to blaze the trail of Reform. Udaipur Jamaat is significant because it has shown th...

Friend Critical_Thinker, Before one can determine the significance of something, we must define what one means by significance. For example, Facebook being used by half the population of the planet may be insignificant to me personally, if I do not actually use it. It may be insignificant even if I...

Apparently there are well over a million bohras in the world. Yet hardly any of them come here. Why? The forum has been around for an extremely long time, 15 years. The internet has become common everywhere now and the forum is highly ranked by google. The language people speak is not an issue as ad...

A very informative post fayaaz bhai, are you a computer expert? The data provided by fayyaaz doesn't require computer expertise. Half of it is his own opinion. The fact that you believe this, implies that you are 0 to very little educated or high to very high ignorant. You didnt even know about thi...

Therefore you waste 45 times more of your time on idle chit-chat than me, dont you. As for teaching sbm english, that is a monumental task which only you could ever accomplish. I trust you will start classes for him immediately so he stops embarrassing himself here all the time. ct, "passing t...

In what way?
We all know you are an ex-hindu who converted to wahhabism.
Therefore why is this forum so significant to you?

I am a woman so why do you refer to me as he and it? Underlying sexism is it anajmi? Not my intent. I just wasn't sure. Henceforth, I will refer to you as a woman. You say I hate the forum? Please quote the post where I have said that. If you cant then, as usual, you are lying. Do not get too liter...

Excellent idea fayaaz bhai. I have seen this on most other forums on the internet. The question is whether admin will implement it here? Do you think he will? Of course it is up to Admin to implement it. The application used by this site is a version of Open Source Software from phpBB. phpBB is at ...

Actually, Al Zulfikar has been here since 2006. At an average, he posts less than 1.5 posts per day, but your average is closer to 2.5 posts a day. So, you are the one wasting more time on idle chit - chat. Chit-chat is precisely the reason why I come here. Why does a non-progressive like you come ...

Its funny how a casual passing comment has created such a storm. I mentioned that internet forums will never change the world. Especially if they have hardly any active members like we do here. Therefore in my opinion, this forum is insignificant to the big scheme of things. The truth is that real c...

the only pastime for a highly accomplished erudite scholar is....? to come to an insignificant site, a site which is antiquated, useless, ineffective and full of egotistical, arrogant, self-centred dinosaurs inflated with their own self-importance, etc etc blah blah and blah. now what does that say...

People like you are the ones who spend all day whining and complaining on the internet, but never do anything in the real world. You are the ones who seem to believe this place is so very important, and pathetically spend your whole lives here.. How do you claim that above statement is true ! now t...

CT You must have very pathetic life that you come to this insignificant forum to pass time. Seems like if this forum provides you the pastime then either you are a loner or no body wants to socialize with you in real life. Correctly stated. To be passing time on what you yourself deem inconsequenti...

Like I have said many times, I come here to pass the time. CT You must have very pathetic life that you come to this insignificant forum to pass time. Seems like if this forum provides you the pastime then either you are a loner or no body wants to socialize with you in real life. If I am a loner w...

... lack of context has made you confuse the meaning of the word patronize. Look here: http://www.thefreedictionary.com/patronize '3. To treat in a condescending manner' so you understand what Im saying correctly. ct, since you have a lot of free time and are wasting it in idle chit chat, why not s...

when I tried to access the forum, I got an error message saying that the maximum number of participants has been reached. Even gave me a number, something in excess of 1200. Many forums show the number of people currently viewing the forum, separately enumerating members and guests and also the max...

I honestly see that as another sign of this forums insignificance. in reality nobody cares and this place is virtually empty. What we need is more participation on the forum, that is the one and only measure of true significance. .. this place has been the same since it first started, so its unlike...

If we are allies on the same side humsafar, why did you not apologise for lying about me? Instead youve decided to patronize me. It seems CT is taking humility of Humsafar as weakness. Lady get out of your head that you are an important person on this forum. What have you contributed to this forum ...

A couple of days ago, when I tried to access the forum, I got an error message saying that the maximum number of participants has been reached. Even gave me a number, something in excess of 1200. So when critical thinker says this forum is insignificant, he, she, it, is just full of hot air. I doub...

CT If you find this forum insignificant why are you wasting your time and energy here. I do not think you are even part of Udaipuri Progressive group You and Resident Profiler keep on harping about bringing changes but so far devoid of any positive ideas except to TOTTE KEE RUUT that this forum is ...

Critical Thinker, Let me just remind you that my post was supposed to be conciliatory. We did have a rough start, I admit. But that is so much water under the bridge. Your are a reformist from Udaipur, I'm a reformist from Udaipur. We are on the same side. We are allies. Our cause and our fight is ...

@critical thinker yes internet does not bring in revolution. but it certainly changes the thought process, and that somehow will trickle down in the real world in their actions. that is precisely what internet is for. internet by definition is a virtual world, it does not and cannot do anything in ...

Let me say something, and i say this with most humbleness i have been viewing this forum for the longest time, close to 6 years now. i came on board only recently. i will disagree when people say that this forum is insignificant, its not. there a number of messages from here the catch like wildfire...

An excellent thread with many posts I want to reply to, and eventually will when I have the time. As people are now encouraging admin to lock this thread, I will make a quick comment which I hope will make it through. I wonder if admin will remain true to his policy of keeping the forum free and ope...

Critical_Thinker, I'm glad you have changed your tack. Look at your initial posts, you came out swinging again this website, this forum and everything that they stand for . You did denounce it as insignificant and pointless, and from the contempt you showed it , it seemed as it's very existence was...

And to correct you, several people have started a campaign to get me banned, which is another way of being asked to leave! And what proof do you have or YOU ARE JUST TRYING TO SHOW YOUR IMPORTANCE? First you say there are few people here and then you say SEVERAL people have started to get you banne...

Unlike other members here, I have no delusions about being an extremely important person who will change the world by posting words online, which are read by less than 20 people. I am perfectly happy being an insignificant nobody on the internet who is merely here to chit-chat and pass the time. Th...

CT May I suggest, you read this thread and understand the context of Maatam and its mis-use by bohra clergy. You are forming an opinion way too early. I am a bohra and I am not against maatam. I am against the way meaning of maatam is twisted for absurd reasons other than gham-e-hussain. AZ’s post ...

Jesus christ was not the first christian even according to christianity. Christianity was invented by st Paul. You might want to do the research. The concept of trinity which is a key portion of the christian faith is not even in the bible. That is how christianity is similar to shiaism. The christ...

I f you want to debate about religion SBM, I would suggest you first go and learn something about it. Thank you for your suggestion and next time you suggest please be humble, If you had paid attention to my last post I clearly said I DONOT GET INVOLVED IN RELIGIOUS DEBATE BUT I SUPPOSE THAT IT SKI...
