    WTF are you talking about?


    So in other words, you are a hypocrite. Thanks for the clarification.

    Nice back pedal. What you are saying again is you had no idea that he was doing this.

    I've already done that. I'm not one to beat a dead horse.

    Ultimately the problem here is any respect any of us might have had for your posts, or any posts of those using that Avatar just went completely out the window as a result of the hypocrisy displayed.

    What you are doing is asking me and others to give credit to your opinion and respect your beliefs when you in return do the complete opposite.

    Does any of this make sense yet? It'd be like I preached against the hatred of Nazis, and joined a site that was against it that was run by a guy who secretly promoted a Nazi web site.

    And before you try to say I am comparing Nazi's to Porn, thats not what I am doing. I am merely trying to articulate a point to you in a way that you might finally be able to understand.

    You are doing nothing to further your opinion or beliefs when you support someone that does the complete opposite of those beliefs.

    It isnt whether I think it's wrong. The question is would Mohammed say it is OK to accept money to promote a religious teacher/porn-king?

    If not, your conscience seems to be attached to your wallet.

    comparing apples and oranges ? that would not make sense, similarly I won't promote a guy who secretly runs sites against Islam and Muslims

    porn is a moral lapse, so is drinking, many people drink, many of my friends also drink at times, but they also say their prayers and go to mosque. . should we encourage them more towards the religion or should we shun them away saying ..hey you drank ... get lost ?

    Its apples to apples, all the way!

    I don't care about porn, drinking, etc.. I have no moral quandary here. You on the other hand do.

    More apples to apples.. Saddam and his kids would get drunk and rape and kill... All the while promoting this holier than though persona that suggested everyone else should do otherwise.

    I'm not sure how much clearer I can make this for you. My guess is that you are currently in shock and dismayed over the fact that you had no idea that your budy Menj was not really one of you.

    New, this is not about whether porn is good or bad. I have nothing against it. I'm just not out there telling people its bad and wrong, and then doing it. That's the apples to oranges side of things you're not understanding.

    I have noticed here and in another thread, how some expect Muslims not to do any mistake or sin,

    yeah, there are Muslims who lie, there are Muslims who steal, there are Muslims who commit murder, there are Muslims who are hypocrites...etc

    so for example when somebody comes and say, hay! I found a Muslim who stole!

    this can has two meanings:

    1 - Muslims (as a whole group) claimed that no Muslim ever stole something.
    2 - non-Muslims find it something unusual to find a Muslim who is stealing.

    since Muslims never claimed that no Muslim ever stole something, then it is the second, I really appreciate this high value you have about Muslims :p and I hope this will encourage Muslims to do better, but do not be so surprised, some Muslims like in any other group, do make mistakes,

    the point is, does Islam encourages Muslims to "steal" and I say to "steal", not to "steal from other Muslims" as in some other religions or beliefs, where it isn't OK to steal from the followers of the same belief but OK to steal from others who do not follow the same belief as they.

    the other point, what is the percentage of those who follow Islam, and who do steal? is it higher than in other beliefs or less?

    maybe these statistics by nation master will give you an idea:

    robberies in USA: 420,637 ( that's 138.36 per 100,000)
    robberies in Saudi: 598 (that's 2.16 per 100,000)

    Everyone makes mistakes iMad. That's in our nature as human beings. Its what we do when we recognize we've made one that displays our character.

    of course the one who did a mistake needs to learn what wrong did he do and it is expected that he would act about it, this is not the point, the point is when we see a mistake we point at this mistake and the one who did it, not at the religion of the one who did it, or the prophet, it is then another mistake done by those who point at religion, that they need to learn and act about it, yet they do not.

    I think its all in the game and we just cant afford to waste any more time but to stop those people from doing that.But then, nothing much can be done at this point of time. What's your thoughts on this?

    It is apples and oranges, nazism and anti-nazism are two ideologies against one and other
    point is very simple, I have given you the examples, they are not hard to understand

    I am not a fan of saddam or his kids ..

    One of you ? can you explain what do you mean by that ? and how to become one of 'us' ? and how does one gets expelled from this circle ?

    like I said, no one is an angel .. to err is human .. to forgive divine ..

    anyway thanks for giving free promotion and attention to http://forum.bismikaallahuma.org/ I am sure it is all that the webmaster would have wished for :)

    I m not sure if you are asking me or in general, whether this or that, can you explain more? I did not get it, who are those people, and stop doing what?

    I do not know, if it is true as you say, then he should close this site, not even sell it to somebody else, and drop such duties, then go to work in something that in beneficial to people and environment, no matter what is the reason, the reason does not justify the means.

    So you do not feel that by supporting and promoting him and taking porn money from him that you are not also making that "mistake" as you called it? How are you to rectify that and the question of the hatevatar?


    Sometimes I feel like I am talking to one of these:

    Fellas, your porno-Islamic hero is a member of the Adult Webmasters Exchange at Netbuilders. Feel free to verify.

    Apparently the standards to be an Islamic guru are pretty low, so if I wanna be an active porn-webmaster AND teach people about Islam... would you guys advertise for me too? What's the going price for selling a soul these days? $5? 10?

    ROFL. What a hoot... I see he still reads DP. Your hero removed his membership in the Adult Webmasters Exchange. Guess we are making him dance like an organ grinders monkey to avoid having his dirty little secret revealed.

    No problem... you know the truth, and so does everyone else in this forum now.

    so you have no proof, you are just trying to malign others
    just because you said something does not mean that everyone else will blindly believe in it
    I see that the only one dancing around and running amok at every thread is you ..crying like a kid
