And you logic and sources are ever-so-flawed (again and again)

The word consensus in Arabic means: Ijma3

You are actually correct –and İ am slightly embarassed for my mistake. İjma'a is consensus. İ had originally wanted to discuss İjtehaad. Thank you for the correction. İjmaa comes about through a sitting (majlis) where scholars discuss esoteric or complex matters derived by and ecompassing ijtehaad

Consensus is a crucial part of affairs in modern day İslam –since we must re-interpret certain aspects of what has been taught to us (without losing the implied meanings that are preached to us)

The word Ijtihad (and what is this Ijteha'd of yours? You need to learn how to transliterate) means strive and it has nothing to do with the word ijma3

1. The word Jihad means holy war and mujahid means holy fighter, and yujahid means he fights a holy war.

This ‘'ijtehaad of mine" meaning can be found even online on wikipedia. İ trust you will do more research on it. İ trust you also are aware that ‘'Jihad" does NOT mean ‘'holy war" at all. İt encompasses the struggle to be a good Muslim and abide by what is asked from us. İt has nothing at all to do with violent struggle as the media would want your to believe. You are completely mistaken.

Just because you can copy and paste from questionable sources does not suddenly make you a scholar of İslam! Please do more research before you post your garbage again. Thanks.

You need to learn that in this blog we know our Arabic and any nonsense will be exposed and will not be appreciated.

Nor will your ... hostile and unprofessional attitude ...

Also, it seems that you need to stick to Urdu our dear Khaled

İ am from Bahrain. We speak Arabic here. Need me to point out Bahrain on the map or did you pass your geography lesson? Urdu is spoken in Pakistan which is not even an Arabic country. But İ'm so sure you knew that.

And please just refer to me as Khaled –because İ don't know you and thusly, İ am not your ‘dear.'

İ look forward to future debates with you. Try to keep it more professional, and show a bit more respect when you post.

Cheers.
