Subject : a reply to mohamad awad

dear arabtimes, thank you for your efforts to promote freedom of information on your website, such a step is indeed a great leap forward if compared to the usual government owned press. my reply here is to the article by mohamed awad titled (fadaeyat and mohajabat).

 

 i have been reading what this man had to say, for weeks now i have been analyzing every article he had written. in doing so i was trying to figure out what does this man want, what is his message and what does he provide as a supporting evidence to his arguments, my honest conclusion is zero. i have been reading most of the articles published by different authors on your website, a lot of it i don't agree with, and in many times i'm offended by the allegations made by its authors, but at least they might have an argument, i'm not saying this argument is logical, but at least it is worth analyzing. on the other hand this man, the so called writer, named mohamed awad, has nothing to say but complain and bitch about this and that, and now after he had written on every subject that does not matter, his lastest masterpeice comes out to show how this guy has nothing on his mind. honestly who cares what angle khadeejah bin qinah was photographed on aljazeera, or if her pregnant body was apparent on the news, who really cares, we are watching the news, a pregnant woman is not a distraction, we see that everyday. who cares if she is coverd or not, he makes the point that since she is covered then she does not know. and then he comes up with this thought, that only a sick and disgusting mind like his can only come up with, if she was on her period when she was answering callers questions.

 

 common man, be real, write something that challenges peoples minds, arguments that make them think, not some bullshit talk that will not benefit anyone, and could not be looked at more than time wasted. if we wanted to hear irrilevant stories, and stupid arguments, i have the street to do that. one more thing, i don't knwo what all this attack on qaradawi is, it is not like the guy said something unbelivalble, all he said , which i did not hear but read thorugh your pages, is that he said it is ok for the married couple to practice oral sex if that is is the wish of both of them, he said it is not the best idea, but there is no harm as far as the islamic faith is concerned, now what is so wrong about that, or that he accepted a gift from dubaii, as if the gift was given as a bribe under the table, it was a event organised every year buy dubaii, with the prize known to the world, so i don't see the big deal. i only wish that most of our sheikhs and imams can keep an open mind and an open heart when they answers questions, and not just lable muslims whe don't agree with them as infedels, the george bush great doctrine ,either you are with me or against me. sorry for writting in english,but i don't have the arabic text on my computer. thank you.
