salaam muadh bhai,
i am not talking ill about the dead. i am just trying to understand why this particular person has been awarded such precaution that was not awarded to the likes of ahmed shah masood who was also a muslim. his death was celebrated by the jihadis/deobandis worldwide and songs were even made and sung in his dishonour, even though he was a hero of the afghan/soviet war. so i was of the mind that even though this particular shaikh was allied with a murderous kafir tyrant, he must have given some extraordinary service to the deen hence the different attitude towards his death. my only sin was to ask a question for which i have been abused and accused of having no shame. prior to this i had never heard of shaikh buti and my interest grew after seeing his name mentioned in numerous forums after his death, and rather than getting information from biased news articles, i thought i might be able to get reliable information from brothers who have already done their research.
khair, the attitude displayed in some of the replies to me are not uncommon and shouldnt have surprised me.
