Allah Allmighty knows best |
Am I secular, If I refuse to willy nilly pronounce takfir on every tom dick and harry?
or
Am I secular because I want myself and my neighbors of any or no faith to live in harmony?
or
Am I a secular dog If I am a young serviceman in Pakistan?
it is being used as a term of derision
