"We need unity not division. Secretarian violence

Br. Sayed, i fully agree with you that by division, we can only help our enemies..

salaams all,

Is it necessary that we should protest for everything and anything that kothar does.

Kaka ji,

What is the problem then, in moving out of such mess of affairs, of the jamaat.

Why hang out with jamaat, when you have realized that things are very bad ?

"You see that is the problem with this Silsila of Imamat and Daism. There is bound to confusion and division"

Division has taken place everywhere since the begining.Can you show any place where such division has not taken place ?

Most likely she is talking about the Suleimanis living under threat in the Wahabi Saudi Arabia.
