you are a fundie b/c you keep using the word madhab for different schools of thought within Islam- ordinary, non extremist Muslims use the word madhab for a different religion altogether- Islam is our Madhab, only religious extremists are so bent on the purity and rightness of their particular school that they refer to other schools within the single madhab of Islam as a different madhab altogether. I don't drink and don't agree with the above poster b/c paradise isn't a real place - we don't go to hawaii when we die- but I think this is one of the things that immediately struck me as strange and frankly alarming about your language use.  If you aren't that sort of person, you shouldn't use that kind of language- only crazy ppl who support Mumtaz Qadri say stuff like that

I disagree with you that ordinary Muslims use the word "madhab" for a different religion altogether.  First of all, they don't, madhabs are pretty specific to Muslim thought, no Muslim would say that Christians follow a different madhab, that just doesn't happen at all.  Second of all, it would be more accurate to say that ordinary Muslims are not aware of different madhabs and their distinctions, and that is why they don't use that word and don't classify themselves as followers of any particular one. You don't have to be an extremist to follow a particular madhab (or to be bent on its "purity"), it can be guided by your community, family or tradition in the place where you grew up. [/quote]
