As far as my beliefs are concerned I never follow anything blindly. I have read and heard different types of Islamic scholars such as Rashad Khalifa, Edip Yuksel, Mawdadui, Shabir Ally, Dr. Israr Ahmed, Dr. Zakir Naik, Islahi, Taqi Usmani, Ghamidi etc and I always read them critically. As you can see some of them are very modern scholars whereas others are hard core orthodox. For me logic, reason and power of argument are the factors which make me accept or bend a belief. I am sincere to my Lord and I am always open to change.

I said it right at start that my question is hypothetical and you will have to make few assumption to answer it.[/quote]
