[quote]Dear Saadia,

I am not politically active as of yet. As such I barely know what differentiates the right from the left or the liberals from the conservatives, or the democrats from the republicans or for that matter the green party et al.

However, I do feel strongly about issues. And even if currently I am unable to do something, I encourage others to at least think about them.

It is quite pathetic to witness some of the most stringent of characters coming onto the studying-islam and its sister websites with their load full of bigotry.

My task is to simply rattle them, make them evaluate their stances, look at their own failings and of their illustrious scholars (who by no means were as holy as they pretend they were), and that is about it.

Several of my friends come from elite backgrounds, I rattle them with newspaper clippings, urging them to do something perchance one of them might end up helping some girl or boy in a remote village or so.

That is all I do on our website and the same is what I end up doing here. We have a chance to do something, monetarily, emotionally or otherwise.

I write, sometimes help financially, and I encourage my friends to do the same.

On this website, I encourage folks to respect difference of opinion no matter how divergent as long as it lies within the ambit of the Shariah.

I suppose I have rambled enough :)

PS: If anyone molests a child, no matter who it is, I want justice to be meted out to that scoundrel. There is no left or right or liberal or conservative thing about it.
