Reblogged this on Progressive Islam. and commented:
Very sad indeed. Forward and retreat of ummah depand on the their Clerics. If cleric teach the wrong Islam, false Islam will lead Muslim to disaster as we see in Iraq, Syria and Yemen etc
If Cleric teach the pure Islam ( not contaminated with false hadith) will bring on ummah peace, happiness and prosperity.
So we should blame strongly hypocrite anc false clerics in Islamic countries.
