I guess I better stop calling people Mullahs if that's it.
I would define Mullahs differently. They are those who take an unrealistically literal and absolutist view of religious canon and dogma and pronouncements by religious leaders. They usually feel discomfort placing religion in historical context, providing historical or empirical explanations for religion, or engaging in Biblical or B of M or B of A or D&C exegesis. Typically they see such activities as worse than a fool's errand; they see such activities as flirting with damnation, indeed, the adversay himself.
