Yes you are right there is violence. But there is enough evidence to suggest that there are foreign hands in it.

And what do you have to say about the brutal murders which the the christian world (mainly USA, UK and NATO) is doing in Afghanistan, Iraq and Pakistan (through drones).

Here is one report from the Western Media about terrorism done by USA

Btw, where do you get this 109 verses thing from?. Have you done any research or is it just a hear say? And if you have done it, can you provide me the source?

Masha Allah this is an inspiring article. I also liked how you did not include her before picture. I don't like it when they do that on facebook or other articles, because its disrespectful of the sister and the hijab. Jazak Allah khairan :)

Re: Mocking the Prophet, How Should We React?

Dear Abu MS Ji

I totally agree with you that defense of the honor of the Prophet (SAW) is necessary and we should take all legal means necessary. I also think the governments of the "Muslim" countries don't have any spine and that had they acted with firmness at the time of Salman Rushdie's Satanic Verses and refused to accept his work as OK, we would have been much better off. However, I still think they can show some spine and protest using all diplomatic means necessary to force western governments to recognize such insults of our Prophet (SAW) as something that is considered worse than "holocaust denial".

In addition, I think we as Muslims should protest each and every time we come across blasphemy against any of the Prophets (AS) of Allah as the Quran exhorts us "la nufarriqu baina aidi him" (do not differentiate between any of them). yet we should do it in a manner befitting the Sunnah of Muhammad (SAW).

May Allah (SWT) increase our love for the Prophet (SAW), by guiding us to Learn about his life and to implement it in our own.

WasSalamuAlaikum

Re: Faith and Elections | Muslims in Large numbers at DNC

Hassan Ahmed — Tue, 25 Sep 2012 13:13:07 -0000

Another take on the US election and why Romney should win:

President Obama and the Democratic administration have embarked on a policy of seducing the Muslim Ummah, they are the good cop in the game of good cop bad cop. Their policy therefore is to differentiate themselves from the warlike Romney camp, to show themselves as culturally sensitive people that the Muslims can trust. This deception may well catch fish from among our lot. This is what is called conquest through "soft power." Any wars waged in the future will, in public imagination, be rightly waged against us because this administration and its PR image is that of friends and well wishers of Muslims worldwide. The public and the antiwar movements, in particular, would lose legitimacy; as of course the President and the administration have been extending their hands out to us and been consistently rebuffed, or so the propaganda narrative will read.
It is therefore in our interests to have a war hawk like Romney in the White House, so that the public knows his aggressive "hard power" approach and immediately would react with indignation and protest, like the millions that gathered in streets around the world prior to the Iraq invasion.
With the Obama administration, you can well expect the future to be designed in such a way that they are seen to be constantly extending a friendly hand; of course to spread secular democracy and not true self determination that would result in Islamic governments ruling according to Shari'ah law as it was implemented in the days of the Ottomans, Mamluks, Ayyubids, Abbasids, Umayyads, and the Khilafah Rashidah; and us constantly refusing to ride the gravy train of secular democracy straight to the gates of Hell, painting us as the stubborn enemy that just refuses to join the "civilized world." This methodology should make future wars and conquests in Muslim lands all the bit easier to sell in the propaganda mills collectively called Main Stream Media.

Re: 11 Ways to Impress a Muslimah for Marriage

Janaid Khan — Mon, 24 Sep 2012 17:16:55 -0000

Ive been holding muslim marriage events (http://www.muslimmarriageev...) for the past 5 years now.

I find the brothers are sometimes either too stuck up or think they are gods gift.

Sisters i have found seem to have a long check list of what they would like in a brother and seem to get no where with it which puts brothers off straight away.

I have always told brother and sisters who attend the muslim marriage events to leave there check lists at home and come to the events with an open mind.

Sisters i find are the ones who are best prepared when they attend the events. Brothers i have always find either always come too late or if they cant find what they are looking for in a sister, seem to be very disappointed.

Apologies if i have offended anyone, just giving my honest opnion of peoples expectations.
