Intellectual is a word that doesn't exist in the Koran, people who are intellectuals are thrown out of their country and avoided by their community.. We have had a Ramakrishna Paramhansa,Vivekananda,Rabindranath Tagore,Osho and recently people like aashram bapu,Ravishankar [ the recent one's are nothing but just preachers of good and healthy life with followers from all religions]. Could you name one famous Intellectual from an Islamic background with a following of ppl from different religious sects. All they do to their intellectual class is issue FATWA's against them like Taslima, Salman Rushdie etc. These people have a weak fundamental setup which deprives their community members to become respected intellectuals.
