What does this blog think about MJ Akbar? I believe he is indulging in the most sophisticated form of al-taqiyya. It is a wonder that he continues to be one of the most admired muslims among Hindutva members.
Reasons why I believe MJ Akbar to be doing al-taqiyya. 1. In the run up to the historic 2009 lok sabha elections, most of his editorials seem to be preaching indifference/nonchalance/cynicism towards the political process instead of meaningful commentary such as criticism of corrupt policies of congress OR endorsement of positive ideas from BJP. 2. When supreme court chastised a muslim boy for violating a christian school rules by posing beard, he complained that when a Hindu can wear follow his faith by wearing sacred thread but the muslim boy doesn't have such freedom here. Here al-taqiyya is in comparing invisible+personal thread with assertive/aggressive beard. http://dailypioneer.com/167300/A-right-can-sometimes-become-a-wrong.html 3. Also he tried to defend Congress for 1984 anti-sikh riots by saying "When everyone is guily no one is guilty". http://dailypioneer.com/168898/When-everyone-is-guilty-no-one-is-guilty!.html
