Is this true ?

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.

Is this true ?

Contrary to our tradition of the Dai appointing his successor, we understand
that Mazoonsahib has declared himself the 53rd Dai. His announcement has
caused rioting within our community and a number of Bohras have been injured.
Furthermore, nikahs and other ceremonies have been put on hold, causing
financial loss and distress.

We have noticed the controversy over Zaheri/Batani Rutba of Mazoonsahib and
Mukasirsahib. We note with great regret his Holiness's silence in this
extremely important issue.

We believe that the controversy is caused by Syedna's (tus) policy of
controlling assets and wealth of the community in his own hands, to the
exclusion of the other two, that is Mazoonsahib and Mukasirsahib, who are an
integral part of Dawat. It is the enormous wealth that Syedna (tus) has
accumulated, which is the root cause of these controversies. We urge Syedna
(tus) to forgo his quest for monetary gains, for absolute control of
community affairs and of making himself the center of worship. He must
acknowledge his fallibilities and he must relinquish the management and
assets of the community to the local jamaats for administration. He must
acknowledge and adhere to his sole role, which is as a spiritual and
religious head of the community.

This will earn him all the respect and affection of all Dawoodi Bohras,
including those that are now trying desperately to have a share of his
enormous wealth.

His proclamation of his successor would certainly go along way to ensure
stability and survival of the community as one unit. We believe that by not
doing so, he may be putting his life in danger at the hands of those who
crave his position. We also urge him immediately to pronounce an end to all
violence and to see that no further barriers are in the way of ceremonies
like nikha etc. Finally, we urge him to reach a genuine understanding with
the Reformist and Progressive sections of the Dawoodi Bohra community.

This will make a great Epic Trilogy. Now is the best time to cross over the line and Join reformist.

This squabble is between 2 selfish bast**d's. No points in getting yourself dirty over any of them. They are just not worth it.
