Comment on Irresponsible Citizen Journalism: Hamas Child Brides by shamira kashmiri

This video is still being posted as a fact by non-muslims! Considering that ‘child brides’ is a very real and large problem, such reporting can only create negativity about Islam. However, we are trying to create awareness to put an end to this problem. Those interested, do join the group on facebook. Eradication Of Child marriages in Islam.

Apparently the person responsible for this claimed he attended the said wedding but after receiving negative comments he retracted his story and added that he also took pictures of the brides but did not release it as per Islamic custom. But the article keeps on circulating, damage has been done.

I’ll look for his blog when I have time.

Comment on Insulting Royalty- Saudi Arabia and Beyond by David Anthony Hohol

Have Saudi locals every been held accountable for criticising the royal family? What has been the harshest punishment for doing so? Recently an article critical of how the Maktoum family controls the media that appeared in TIME magazine prompted the ruler of Dubai to order all copies of the magazine be pulled from shelves. (The irony is almost too much!) How much of a hold does the Saudi Media have?

Comment on Arrests for Afros & Low-slung Jeans in Saudi Arabia by Amina Ali

Asalaamo Alikym WaRahmatullahi WaBaraakatuh

My real issue with this story is the Afro part. Afro is a type of hair style worn by people who are blessed with curly hair.
If your hair is more than 1/4 inch in length and tightly curled then you are wearing an afro. This is the way Allah swt designed this persons hair so how in the world can anyone punish them for not straighting the hair?
The way I understand this action is, as long as you have afro-centric features (Afro style hair) then you will not be permitted to pray in the Masjid.
This is so interesting when you consider how many people who smoke cigarettes and reek of smoke are permitted to pray in the Masjid. How many so called Muslims are drinking liquor, putting on modest clothes just to enter the Masjid and then removing them as soon as Salaat has ended? How many are fornicating outside of marriage and using illicit drugs yet we are told to make duaa for them and they are not turned away at the Masjid doors.
Being born with an Afro is a part of a persons genetic make-up, this is the creation of Allah swt and Allah have mercy on the soul of any person who laughs, berates or discriminates against another human for wearing their in it’s natural state.

You are absolutely right. They should be pleased that youth are going to the mosque even in low strung trousers and long hair. Is this really what Allah is looking at and what will these holy men say when Allah asks them who gave them the right to banish these youth from worshipping him? They are really missing the boat here. Rejecting people because of how they look is not a very well thought-through decision on their part.
