Sorry guys, I was experiencing some problems with my internet connection in the last few days. Boohoo. Perfect timing huh? It should be okay now though.
The teddy bear circus is over and I think the discussion on the topic has been exhausted so no article. It’s time to move on to other things. Here’s an article offering my thoughts.
Traffic has also more or less stabilized after shooting through the roof thanks to the BBC article which linked to this blog.
It’s time for me to get back to normal blogging and focus on some long posts that I’ve always wanted to write.
For now I leave you with this Washington Post article about Moez Masoud, a famous young Egyptian preaching a brand of “feel good Islam”. Here’s a video of him preaching in English to a mixed crowd of Muslims and Westerners.
Overall I like the guy although I might disagree with some things he says. For the Americans reading this blog, you may consider him the Muslim version of Joel Osteen - someone I actually like and find “listenable” even though I’m not Christian.
If you compare the two to what’s present on the other side of the spectrum, there should be no surprise as to why I prefer individuals like the aforementioned.

I HOPE the teddy bear thing is over, because then you’ve got stuff like this happening in the wake…

Joel Osteen bad! Boo!
Thanks to you TeacherLady, I changed my mind and went ahead with writing some final thoughts. Clearly this shit is not over and won’t be forgotten easily.
Oh and Aaron, why? I’d pick Joel Osteen over crazy Pat Robertson on any given day.
The latter’s nonsensical crap reminds me of many loony Muslim preachers. I can’t stand it.
hey there,so you heard of him,i like him too i think he is one of the few muslims who are religious but yet they understand islam right they know what its all about,and they portray it beautifully through thier actions thier demeanour,and seriously being religious nowadays is all about talking the talk no walking the walk i.e(people could go on about stuff preaching and scaring people off for hoouurrrsss and theyd make you wonder howcome your not doing that?)
they just dont understand islam in its full depth taking ayats ,ahadith and using them to suit theyre own distorted opinions (nizeer what we call in sudan)i just hope there’s more people like moez out there we need them,i cant help but wonder though what dont you agree with him on drima?
