‘Religion is the domain of religious scholars.’
Apart from the obvious irony that it was a politician who was giving the said advice, the next time i see a politician (or those who are ever-so-eager to support a politician’s statement) commenting that ‘Islam says this’, ‘Islam permits this’, ‘this is the true Islam’, ‘Islam is about a and b, not x and y’, i will be sure to remind him/her that ‘Islam is the domain of religious scholars’, and not anyone else. ?
Most definitely, not the domain of politicians.
