Ulama is an Islamic term that means 'the men of knowledge'. There is no need to ask who they are unless the person asking does not know what knowledge is. If that is the case, what he should be asking is: What is knowledge? (By Md. Asham Ahmad, Petaling Jaya, Malaysia)
Your comments:
What I see or perceive as true or false may not be what you see as true or false. We should not be stuck or fixated on labels.
What is needed is for individuals and societies to be driven to seek the truth and to be encouraged in their search.
This means there must be no limit in questioning, discussing and debating the truth and ultimately respecting and tolerating differing opinions or perspectives about what is true or false, and what is right or wrong. Everyone should be free to participate and weigh the arguments presented.
