[quote][font=Trebuchet MS][size=2] Assalaamu Alaikum: Both your sentiments are pure and laudable. The spirit to help, to make a difference, must always be there. Most of us are all too busy thinking about our ownselves, bettering our own comforts, and unfortunately, fasting doesn't seem to change that - at least, the moment Ramadan ends, our festivities begin and we only end up helping ourselves getting ever more directed towards our own personal aspirations - regardless of whether someone is allowed to become worse off, or better off, as a result. The reason why I asked for the approach that you deem to be the best one, in order to deal with issues of bigotry and harassment is, because there is no one way. Essentially, what I'm trying to ask is: would it be more fruitful to punish the perpetrators right away, or to strike at the roots of everything and anything that gives them their evil powers, or to find an amalgam of the two? Ideas and motivation are the first steps towards reformation. Let's talk more about the practicalities (as Junaid said, he writes, contributes financially where he can, induces his friends, etc.). Wasalaam. Saadia[/size=2][/font=Trebuchet MS][/quote]
