Mulla means centre of love and leadership especially in legalistic sense in Islamic tradition. Presbyter plays a similar role in Christian tradition. Pervez Hoodhboy is a liberal Pakistani Shia Muslim scientist affiliated with a pro Presbyterian institution. His anti clerical polemic is antinomian in nature because both Christianity and Shia Islam historically were inclined towards antinomian bias, except Ebionites and Yemeni Islam. which according to some culminated in anti semitic abuse.

So, is his polemic consistent with his traditional and modern identities?
