Ok, agreed that these people exist and their goal is to swindle money from others. But lets not generalize here.
When you say OK that these people exist whose goal is to swindle money from others, then you also not sure who these people are. You too are generalizing. Can you name a few?

When did Muslims call any such person a thug. Give me one example. Rather, I'm the only person here who call them thugs and all of you guys get annoyed with me for that.
The reason is that those who are thugged are never ready to admit that they're being thugged. They think that they're very smart and nobody can thug them. They're not ready to admit that there's hardly anything positive or constructive they ever did in the name of religion. It's only the exploitation of the name of Islam which is done by all these thugs. Some of them are very highly qualified in this profession.

One of the biggest brain damage these thugs cause to the educated Muslims is that they mix up desires and ambitions with greed. They get funding from some greedy rich Muslims and mislead the ambitious and intellegent young Muslims. It's the ambition of every honest and intellegent person to rise and make positive achievements. The thugs term these important ambitions as worldly affairs and keep the Muslim intellegentia away from the progress and prosperity which they deserve. In this way the few rich Muslims get an easy control over the majority of misled Muslims.

This is the question which I have been asking again and again on this forum. Nobody could answer to this question that why there's more corruption in societies where there is more mullahism. Instead of answer it you are not ready to acknowledge that there is any corruption in fundamentalist societies at all; whereas the fact is that the fundamentalists do all kinds of things for money in the religious societies and then they justify their corruption with religion somehow or the other. We read many cases in which people aquired the public land illegally and built mosques on them. They built their homes attached to the mosques. The funding for most of the mosques and the attached homes is provided by persons whose sources of income are doubtful for every Muslim.
