[Reader-list] Is Subsidy Islamic or UnIslamic ?

[Iram Ghufran]

Dear Pawan,

I understand your reservations regarding the GOI subsidy to Haj 
pilgrims. I also know that it plays a great part in GOI's 'appeasement' 
policy. We can see the results of GOI's 60 years of appeasement of 
minority communities in India through their prosperity, health, 
education and living standards. But I do not wish to discuss any of the 
above with you.

I am here to raise my voice against the Haj subsidy, though, I do know, 
neither do I care, if a subsidy on Haj is Islamic or not.

Pawan, I protest. GOI, I protest.

Unfortunately I cannot do anything else - there are far greater concerns 
at the moment but if time allows, and I have the inclination, I may take 
part in a 'morcha' against Haj subsidy but that would be hypocritical 
because so far I have not participated in any 'morchas'/ 'dharnas'/ 
marches. I hope my written and very public protest is noted.

To get more opinions, please write emails to 'the muslims and their 
organisations'. I do not think the reader- list is a sufficient platform 
for your very ambitious query. In fact I have a suggestion, it will be a 
very good idea if you create a separate data base of email addresses of 
'Muslims' and post your queries directly to them.

I sincerely hope that you do respect people. Often it is not very evident.

Yours truly,
Iram Ghufran writing as a 'Muslim'
