Ikhwan ul safa and Ismailism

The one and only free public forum for Bohras. The focus of this forum is the reform movement, the Dawoodi Bohra faith and, of course, the corrupt priesthood. But the discussion is in no way restricted to the Bohras alone.

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.

First of all faith is never governed by democracy. And I know you would repeat the same things that how can the orthodox accept the democracy. Cant help it with that...

and yes criticism can be accepted but judge your replies first....are they always criticizing or are always cited with HATE??

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 ??
