Muffi invites John Costello to masjid

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.

Muffi invites John Costello to masjid

Muffi invited Dr John Costello to the London masjid on 10th Moharram. Instead of Imam Husain gam on this sacred day he invited outsiders into the house of Allah. What does Daim ul Islam have to say about this? See this vidio.

Who is this guy and why is he important to invite on ashura?

In modern times it is advisable to invite non muslims and show them Islamic values. Greater good for Islam than the lesser evil. My objection is to invite them on 10th Muharram. It should be on some other days.

My opinion on this.

i dont know the why and what behind this but let me put forth my 2 cents here

1. i dont think it is expressedly prohibited to allow Jews and Christians from entering a mosque. alteast a very cusrory google search told me this. Jews and Christians are after all, decended from Abraham AS and are also known as People of the Book. common sense tells me this, but sharing the link nonetheless
https://www.alislam.org/question/non-mu ... e-mosques/

2. Would you rather have People of the Book enter a Mosque or would you rather a Muslim killer like Modi and an openly anti-Muslim bigot like Shivraj Singh Chauhan enter the mosque? Muffy Maula has BTW, allowed them both last Muharrum or perhaps the one prior, and believe me you.. it disgusted me to the core

so, IMHO, between the 2, i would personally be ok with Dr. Costello entering a mosque

What I would be interested in knowing is what MS and Dr. John Costello said, if anything specific.

I was there and let me tell you the actual reason for the invite, of course it was all even more propaganda.

This clip is incomplete. There was a comment made by the Dr about how the nass was done in Cromwell Hospital. I don't remember it word for word, but he was talking about how much SMB loved London, then that he treated him in Cromwell Hospital, where he named his successor. This was the reason he was invited on ashura. There were many more prominent politicians who came on the other days.

Also, just an interesting point that I came across. There were times when the audio would cut. I initially put this down to technical issues, but then I was told that they cut the audio whenever he would talk about fatemi dawat or say anything controversial. I think it's hilarious that he has to be censored and how all of these years later he is still talking about this. Move on bro.

Rather than doing all this nonsense on ashura day(where the only concern should be imam husain's shahadat), DMBS should just SHOW UP IN THE COURT CASE AND SHOW HIS GUTS.

This faaltu draame baazi can only go for so long. All his(DMBS'S) expert witness (including specialist / medical professionals) , had their testimonies totally dis-membered in the court, for all the pathetic arguments they gave.

DMBS: Dawedaar Mufaddal Bhai Saheb

No matter what people think about the court case and it's out come but for sms it's business as usual and people are willingly doing para pari to invite him to their cities. I don't think sms is worried about any court case or any individual.

John Costello was a witness on Muffy's defense team. He submitted an affidavit and was labelled as "DW2" in the court ("Defense Witness 2"). Clearly, his invitation to the bhashan sabha of Muffy was to reward Costello for being a loyal dog and give him his 15 min of fame. It is interesting that Muffy considered Costello so important that he invited him on Ashura day. I guess for Muffy everything is about making sure his power and wealth continue unabated, even if it means behaving like Yazid all the while taking Imam Hussain's name. In fact, Muffy dawaat is the dawaat of Abu Sufyan, and hence their moniker, Ibn Abu Sufyan.

Also, it seems that this year is Muffy's 80th birthday. Seems like his dawaat is going all-out in celebrations. organizing a big hangama and tamashaa in Surat. I guess they are concerned about the outcome and are preparing an all-out propaganda war, with grand celebrations and show of strength. Actually, if FD people loose (which is a possibility) then the frenzy in Surat will be insane. In general, my feeling about the case at this point is that FD will loose, or at least not obtain what they wish, i.e. to convert a large number of people to their cause. As many schismatic Bohri movements of the past, FD will be depleted and though it will continue to exist, it will be a minor splinter-sect of a minor splinter-sect of a minor splinter-sect. More on the possible outcomes of the case later.

It would be good if the complete clip is available
