Do not you think if we are to be okay with "different views" of other Muslims, the division has already started?
It does not make sense to me that you want Muslims to have different opinions and then expect them to not divide/split? How is that even possible? Having a different opinion is the first split.
We are all different people. And no one is expected to think the same about different aspects of life. This is what makes us individuals.
The example of the 4 madhabs is indeed appropiate to mention.
The very fact that we need to be tolerant of different interpretations of
Quraan and Sunnah, shows us that we can also have differences in opinion in matters relating to this
dunya -
without talking about divisions and splits.

Whites and Jews constitute a minority of this country, and I belong to neither.
My racial group has absolutely nothing to do with my previous comments about Nelson Mandela.

This might not be an acceptable method for you but that's just who I am at the end of the day I am looking to be honest as that is what Allah swt asked me to do, I am not requested to lie or be nice or not say it like it is to be liked. Being liked or respected is a nice bonus in life but certainly not an injunction!
As for the criteria of hypocrites per ahadith, then there are tons of ahadith and verses on the matter that aren't listed in the one hadith you provided such as:
Verily, I fear for this Ummat every such munaafiq who will speak with wisdom and perpetrate, injustice.
The most fearsome object which I fear for my Ummat is every such
munaafiq who has the ability of eloquent expression.
Again, this has nothing to do with my previous comments.
I have made my thoughts known with regards to name-calling of members on this forum.
There is nothing more that I can add to this.

I'd be happy to share more if you require and at any rate I shared one such hadith in the previous thread- however, telling lies and proving treacherous indeed fit the bill from the first thread as per my comment here!
Please provide a reference to the hadith quoted in the previous thread. Thus far, I have been unable to find it, apart from a few Shia sites.

Firstly your history on the forum isn't as long as ours and you've to trust as you do the more senior doctors in your job that some by virtue of experience alone know things that you don't! and secondly there were posts that were deleted from that particular thread which you didn't see, so why the exasperation and annoyance especially when asking us to supposedly referain from the same type behavior and close the thread up?
Your analogy to senior doctors is not fitting......unless you are an expert on the political situation in Pakistan, and more especially SWAT.
The previous thread was closed by the mods, for good measure.
Nothing new has been revealed in this thread regarding Malalas case, apart from ongoing speculations supported by absolutely no evidence.
For those who wish to continue to harbour doubts and suspicions regards the intentions behinds Malalas campaign, so be it.
Do fear Allah though, especially when these are currently based on little fact.
Allah (subhanawataála) is the final judge in all matters.
And this is all that matters.
