#1 Where is the Gandhi of Islam?

Beheaded by the Wahhabbists as soon as he spoke up.

Why do you ask?

#2 There was a Gandhi in Islam. His name was Abdul Gafar Khan, he was Pashtoon and he fought the British occupations with Gandhi-like methods (but with the additional merit of him coming a warrior culture). In fact Gandhi and him werez allies (there is a photo showing him at the side of Gandhi: a towering, muscular man at the side of short, frauiol Gandhi).

But he was against the partition of India, he fought against the radicalaization and impicit racism in Pakistan (the land of the pure, the others being impure). His daughters didn't wear veil and spoke freely in public. I am sure he would have found the wahabis abhorrent and I also think he would have adapted his tactics (ie fight) if he had been confronted to Al Quaida and the talibans.

#5 Not to pee on anyone's parade, but, given what the real Gandhi was like, I don't want to know what an Islamic Gandhi would be like.
