Validity of dismissal proves…; Muslim in color and Muslim in culture but.. By Dr. Sohail Ansari

Conceived and worded by DR Sohail Ansari (originality of concepts and originality of words).

He believes that there can never be a zero scope for improvement and appreciates criticism if it is not for the sake of criticism.

·       ‘Post modern subjectivity shifts and changes over time, across texts, and around competing spaces’ however, its classical interpretation persists: judgment not independent of a person. Merits and demerits are not examined on merit; they are simply seen through person.  

Validity of dismissal proves…

·       Proving the dismissal of the argument invalid (proving that dismissal is not justified) does not prove automatically, as it is commonly assumed, that argument is valid. Analysis that rejects, for example, capitalism (emphasizes it as the flawed) without examining its inherent contradiction can be rejected as the shallow, superficial or even biased as it rejects capitalism on invalid grounds. Despite the invalidity of the dismissal of argument (capitalism is perfect) the argument (capitalism is perfect) is not valid. Validity of the dismissal proves the invalidity of argument; but invalidity of the dismissal does not prove the validity of argument. Dismissal can be valid in a sense that it leaves nothing unexamined, however, it can be invalid if conclusion it draws fails to justify itself. In such case, invalidity of the dismissal proves the validity of argument. However, the conclusion that fails to justify itself must be the only possible conclusion because invalidity of the dismissal may not prove the validity of the argument, if there are other possible conclusions those may possibly justify themselves.

Muslim in color and Muslim in culture but..

·       The meaning of ethos within rhetoric expresses inherently communal roots and that clearly means individuals are formed by the values of their culture and not the other way around; however, it does not stand in direct opposition to claim ‘that ethos can be faked or manipulated’. There are people in Pakistan claiming to be and appearing to be Muslims as they follow dress-code and food-code because non-compliance can have serious consequence. These people in Pakistan are Pakistani in color and Pakistani in culture; but they see Islam as the relic of by-gone days. They are not different in culture but they are different in taste; culture they practice simply does not indicate it.
