When I Become a Shame for Islam...

It happens when:

1) I do not take it as a possibility that I might be wrong and the other person may be right.

2) I am not willing to let go of the ideas that I have been believing in. When I hold a reverence-for-the-past attitude and consider every new idea a blasphemy!

3) I am not willing to listen to the arguments the other person is presenting to support his point of view

4) I am unable to distinguish between a logical argument and an emotional blackmail

5) I am reluctant to use my own head and willing to blindly follow my religious leaders

6) I don't know why I should believe a particular idea? My beliefs have never been preceded by a thought process i.e. when I am just a believer by birth not a believer by choice.
