There is a vast difference between "Hate" and "Criticism", criticising someone for his wrongful acts is fundamental in any democracy but alas the slaves (abdes) can never comprehend democracy.

Do you know that in the earlier days Muslims could ask any questions to Prophet (s.a.w.) ?? Now this is called freedom of speech...... Can you ask your master where he spends the money looted from Bohras in the name of zakat etc ??
