I'll openly say to you that I have very little knowledge about the issues pertaining to this but can only base my own arguments against the methodology of the current orthodox community by the standard established by the the methods of the Panjatan Pak, the Imams and the Qu'ran. I don't really care what political/religious movements took place at the stage of the 46th Dai but I do know this: the current practices of the orthodox community are NOT in accordance to the Islam preached by the Messenger of God or the Panjatan Pak. Islam is a very simple religion: it tells you to believe in the One God, His Messenger and to do good by the guidance of the Ahlul-Bayt and Holy Imams. To believe anything else is to undermine the Mercy that God bestows upon his creation.
If the current practices aren't commensurate with the standard established by the practice, principles and laws of the Qu'ran, The Messenger (PBUH) and the Panjatan Pak (AS) then we can't really follow the current practices dictated by the Kothar, can we? Can you, not, then understand why I don't care what happend aforetime?
You are taking arguments to different tangent. My point is regarding the official position of the Progressives. All above points prove that you dont recognize the Dais after 46th still you want & harp your official position citing '52nd Dai as true Dail-Al-Mutlaq'. I want to know your compulsion for the same. I have seen the proggy intellectuals are avoiding debates like this or derail it with some other nonsense. It has legal complusions. Your demand for interference in control of Dawat adminstration fails miserably once you dont recognise the current Dai as Dai-Al-Mutlaq. This proves Proggies are also hypocrites standing on the high ground of Morality.
