Salaam,
Sister, you take a videobite from last weeks news. You tell us you do not want a debate.
Everyone in the US knows who the fools are.
What purpose does this serve.
As I stated in another post..Muslims need to educate themselves about the greater picture.
Let me use a simple analogy. If I were a teacher and gave students an assignment to give me a current news item and they turned this is..the grade would not be passing. Tell me something I do not know.
Dear Sister -
Allalaamu alaikum.
I value your knowledge and respect your opinion and am very interested in two things you stated in your post above.
You said, "Everyone in the US knows who the fools are..." Please explain.
Also - "Muslims need to educate themselves about the greater picture..."
I am trying my best to learn everything about Islam and be the best Muslim I can be. This is a sincere inquiry, I am in no way trying to be disrespectful or rude, but what is the greater picture I should know about? I will NEVER turn away from the straight path, but it can be difficult at times. So many of my fellow citizens are willfully ignorant and believe only the lies they hear about Islam from JACKASSES (no insult to donkeys!) like Bill O'Reily. He makes me ashamed of my Irish heritage.
I completely understand if you are insulted by this man's remarks, but believe it or not, this is considered a defense of Islam and Muslims in America these days.
I apologize if I have offended you in any way, and would greatly appreciate any help you could give me.
Thank you so much to the "Mom of TTI"
Salaam
