Punjab looks to ‘neutralise’ TLP

His exact statement to find a common ground with Christian apologist was "You have problems with your scripture and we have problems with our scripture", it was a blanket statement which to any neutral observer would mean that Quranic text has similar level of contradictions, omissions and lack of authenticity as bible.

In fact, he expressed his doubt on "standard narrative" around quranic preservation in emails to his cohorts, which were subsequently leaked: Qadhi expressed skepticism about the traditional narrative, stating that "the standard medieval narrative simply holds little weight". He also shared that exploring textual variants (Ahruf and Qira'at) led him and other academics to experience a "borderline crisis of faith". Furthermore, he argued that literal preservation wasn't "letter for letter"

I've watched some of his recent interviews, and honestly, I think he has done a good job explaining where he stands. Among the scholars in Texas, many people consider him to be one of the more intellectual and thoughtful voices.

When you look at the history of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, it's interesting that he was once respected by many Sunni scholars, and people would often seek his advice and opinions. Only Allah (SWT) truly knows what led him to later claim prophethood and establish a separate movement.

The same can be said about the Submitters movement. It was founded by a well-known Egyptian Sunni scholar whose views gradually moved away from mainstream Islamic scholarship. In my humble opinion, when someone goes very deep into religious matters without the balance of knowledgeable guidance, they can become vulnerable to the whispers of Shaytan and their own interpretations.

We have seen similar patterns throughout Islamic history. The Khawarij, for example, became so extreme in their understanding that they eventually declared even some of the Sahabah (RA) to be disbelievers.

That's why I believe having a teacher, mentor, or trusted scholar is so important. No matter how intelligent or knowledgeable a person may be, we all need someone who can keep us grounded, offer sincere advice, and correct us when we start heading down the wrong path. Knowledge is important, but humility and guidance are just as important.

Just like Saudi Arabia following Humbali Madhab, Pakistan need to develop national scholarship program that focusing on teaching mainstream Islam not an interpretation of so and so. TLP, Dawat-e-Islami, Barlevi, Razakhani, Deobani, etc, all should be folded into mainstream Islam, instead of each having their own masjid.
Do you see any religious issues, hate speeches against sects, violence, religious target killing in GCC countries?
