Muslims need to embrace development, rise above 'counterfeit' secularism
http://www.firstpost.com/politics/up-election-results-2017-why-muslims-need-to-embrace-bjp-rise-above-counterfeit-secularism-3330368.html
Excerpts
Before the elections, renowned Sunni Islamic clerics like Maulana Salman Al-Husaini Al-Nadwi and Maulana Saidur Rahman of the Darul Uloom Nadwatul Ulama seminary, Maulana Khalid Rasheed of the Darul Uloom Farangi Mahal and Maulana Aamir Rashadi of the Rashtriya Ulama Council as well as the Shia religious leaders like Maulana Kalbe Jawwad and Maulana Kalbe Sadiq had expressed support for either the SP or the BSP.
In October, much before the elections, BSP's political rallies used to begin with the recitation of the Quran and references to hadiths (sayings and deeds of Prophet Muhammad).
:
Even Congress scion Rahul Gandhi had visited the Darul Uloom Deoband and the Nadwatul Ulama, in an attempt to to seek votes.
:
Anecdotal evidence from the ground suggests that some Muslim women were not allowed to vote in UP, because they were opposed to triple talaq.
:
Secularism exists only in books. In India, the practice of secularism essentially means only one thing: Muslim communalism, as practised both by Muslim as well as by the so-called secular Hindu parties. This form of counterfeit secularism is dividing India's society and its people into caste and religious categories. Much like liberalism has become an abuse in the US, secularism in India is harming Indian Muslims because it does not stand for the authentic meaning of secularism.

There will be no Secularism in India until a uniform civil code is adopted.
Politicians who have Muslims as their vote-bank, will fight tooth and nail against UCC as long as they perceive that their vote-bank is with them.
The younger generation and women in the Muslim community will gradually abandon the 7th century ways and when they fracture the vote-bank and give the boot to CONmen and the mullahs, India can realistically adopt UCC and become Secular.
Semitic religions are fundamentally opposed to Secularism while Pagan cultures and Eastern religions are not.

and Hindutva chaddis will never implement UCC. they will keep barking about UCC and do nothing. since they have figured out that barking about UCC, pseudo secularism, etc. is the way to electoral victory.
