Dear Members - Identity of "Moududi" and "Moududi wanna-be" have become recently a popular word or theme for someone who takes it as a self-evident or self-explanatory concept, but conceptual problems, on my part, that I am having with such terms, are not being discussed by the proponent or not yielding to nor revealing as to what the definition of such identity can be constructed with, is, still a mystery to me. If and when somebody is defined as rat-the-pest as was defined by Cyrus, it is not a human being any more: it [sic] has become a pest to be eliminated in gas chambers as was done by Hitler. And this distinction is need to be understood to reflect whether Mr. Cyrus' rat metaphor can be used in the context of Hitler's situation. I don't intend to claim that my dialogue or discussion or debate whatever one may call it, is comprehensive as many areas require or deserve better description or inclusion or emphasis in feasible length but whether the "uses or meaning" of the phrase "moral" is static or dynamic is debatable but my "moral support" would always remain "static" in the context in which I have used it. And whether the "concept of freedom" or the "morality is a static concept" have no relevance, in my view, to those who seek freedom from oppression or tyranny and my "moral support" for their causes. It is a diversion technique or red-herring fallacy. I find the statement [perverted philosophy] of Cyrus about Mr.. Moududi, has no objective content. It tell us nothing about Mr. Moududi. Let me put it differently, Mr. Cyrus' opinion about Mr. Moududi tells more about Mr.Cyrus than about Mr. Moududi. Mr. Cyrus really spell it out with a clarity that is much needed. I am pretty much in agreement with his conclusions, grim as they are! Factual accuracy is the foundation of any analysis so we can all get the proper idea of what makes "moududi-phenomenon" after a thorough review of the facts. Please find below those questions' answers would reveal the mystery of "Moududi-phenomenon". If and when without knowing these answers make me "mentally challenged" in Orwellian sense, I have no problem whatsoever but without these answers and calling someone "Moududi wanna-be" would make him "mentally dwarf." wouldn't it? 1. What is Moududi's Philosophy? (must provide credible evidences) 2. and what is Cyrus' philosophy (i.e, anti-thesis of Moududi or disagreement with the philosophy of Moududi) that makes Moududi's philosophy perverted? 3. And in what relation my views are identical with Mr. Moududi's that makes me "Moududi wanna-be"? Answering those above questions by him would reveal whether a self-declared "trade-policy-international-affairs-pundit" can and coherently able to teach Science to the so called his version of "mentally challenged" people.
