I beg to differ, the WORST must be www.islamicaweb.com/forums !!!!!!
THOSE members call themselves MUSLIM?? Almost every post from members has at least 1 swear word or name-calling in it!!!! And they talk in General Forum thread something like this "Whould you marry a guy who misses one finger in his right hand?" or something other sooo stupid that I simply couldn't believe my eyes!!!!!!

And even in threads where it is required serious discussing/talking, some idiot has to post something silly/stupid/offending and then many other idiots join in!!!!!

Those Muslims have to learn how to behave!!! (at least in the Internet!!)

I wouldn't point fingers if I were you... I've seen many a post on these boards that was considerably less than erudite- and not just in the General Chat or Halal Fun sections, and by some who should know better.

True, but I am talking about those in that forum who really behave more worse than some in this forum have, well, at least what I'VE seen, so pardon me if I am in your opinion wrong. May Allah (swt) forgive me if I have said anything wrong.

Don't worry about it- it's just a difference in perception. How about this: instead of pointing fingers, and judging other people's behavior, let's all work on ourselves, so that we aren't the kind of people that these things are said about. We can't control what other people post, but we can refrain from posting things that are insulting or inane.

I'm fond of the Muslim Wake Up forums. They are one of the coolest groups of Muslims that I know, and issues such as methodology, hermeneutics, ijtihad, and the nuances of several languages are discussed in detail and in a (mostly) respectful manner. Chit chat is (mostly) confined to designated forums and private messages. There are some who may consider them "anti-Islamic" because they don't promote the same flavor of Islam that their accusers do, but they are definitely pro-Islam, Qur'an-loving, humanitarian folk.

Oh, bite me, Far7an. Just because you don't like MWU doesn't mean the whole world revolves around you. Do you even know the meaning of half the terms I used in that post?

I thought you said they were salafi's here? I thought Kuffar was their favourite word for non-Salafi Moslems!



Regardless, jazak'Allah for everyone who has posted their favourite other sites here.

I will continue to update this thread with new sites that I have come across and insh'Allah will attach a spreadsheet I have put together detailing no of members, threads, posts etc. (though bare in mind these are always increasing alhamdulilah!)

There's a huge variety of sites - some huge, some tiny, some parochial, some globally minded, some narrow-minded, some oozing with scholarly knowlege and resources, some playgrounds of fitna, some with hekma, some without, some that are charming and some that are utterly vile.

The point is, there's much we can learn from all of them. Not necessarily about Islam, but most certainly about Moslems. And knowing your brothers and sisters, whether they be Shia, Sunni, Wahabbi, Sufi, or anything in between can only be a good thing. We may have ideological differences but at the end of the day we all believe in Allah swt. ANd insh'Allah the mercy of God will see us all as one ummah together in Jannah one day.

I would encourage us all to move around - join other forums - but remain transient. Our diversity, both geographical as well as theological is a mercy if we would but see it.

You need to see the good and bad in our community, for both exist in abundance. Join other forums (though don't leave here completely!) and see what unity can be forged. See things from new angles - don't be afraid to expand your horizons.

Well I guess you thought wrong brother :brother:.

 

[dishdash]

You're no Salafi akhi - ? Haha! Well that alone is never the problem anyway. Alhamdulilah, you haven't deleted or edited my posts - unlike Muhammad. In fact you took my barb in the manner of a brother. Good for you! For that reason alone I will continue to stay here.

Regretting your adab yet?!

..and THAT is why he is one of the few mods (that i've communicated with in my short time on this forum) that i have respect for.

There are some that i have no respect for whatsoever.

and there are others that i havent talked to at all,so im neautral with them.

wa'salaam

 

[Ansar Al-'Adl]

Actually, I deleted and edited the posts in this thread which violated the forum policy on sectarian comments. And, bi'idhnillah we will continue to block those who intend to sow disunity in the Muslim ummah by spreading sectarian labels and slandering other groups. We have always made our position manifestly clear - we follow Islam as it was revealed by Allah :arabic2: in the Qur'an, as it was explained and implemented by the Prophet peace be upon him, and as it was understood by the immediate recipients of the message, the early generations of Muslims. After this, any label thrown around is simply artificial and banks on preconceived notions and misconceptions of others.

And as for the unjust slander of declaring others to be kuffar, we reject this completely. Indeed this issue is as Shaykh Muhammad ibn Abdul-Wahhab said:

As for ruling someone to be a kâfir, then I consider a kâfir to be the person who knows the religion of the Prophet (saws), then, after such knowledge, curses it, and prevents people from following it, and shows enmity to whoever follows it. So this is the one whom I consider to be a kâfir. And the majority of this nation - By Allah's blessings - are not like this!" (Al-Durrar Al-Saniyyah, 1/73)​
