i think Reason’s input here has a positive angle as well. in usa around 0.6% muslims and even most of muslim have not much awareness about islam. most of them thinks that islam is all what the media present (jihad , suicide bombing , rights of women and thats all) and unfortunaltey there is not much genuine representation of muslims in media.

i have respect for his views though i have severe reservations on many of his ideas/views. i expect that his interaction wid the members here will mutually benficial for all of us in order to get genuine understanding of islam.

Dear Maverick you have mentioned few things and i will one by one try to anwser you.

I do not think that Reasons input has been positive. Did you check all his threads and did you read all his posts? Well what positive comes from there?
Maverick I do not always agree with you and Areleitter and some others. But they and you contribute more to this forum then just only flooding it with anti Islamic threads and posts on daily bases. And what i have been saying in most of my posts about mr. Reason (with all due respect i have nothing personal against him since i do not know him) that he thinks Islam is a “fascist” religion. He several times denied that and said that he is only targeting Wahabis and Taliban. Well then why does not all the time say Islamists and muslims why not Taleban and Wahabi’s even I (yes happyheart) am against their ideology. I even believe their thinking is destructive. So Mr. Reason denied he did not say ISLAM is a fascist religion.
But thank God for his complain to the moderator its cristal clear to others also that he did not only mean Wahabi’s and Taleban. He talked about Shariah.
Since mr. Reason has all the knowledge of the world (judging him on this forum because he is very quick posting articles, i am sure he studies/reads alot, and he is ex Muslims) he must have known about Shariah but still he acts like he does not know that Shariah is one and its not different for Taliban and different for Sunnies…ets…
One can interpret it differently but he asks permission to criticise the Shariah so by default Islam.

Don’t believe what i tell you just read his posts and threads what positive comes out from there Maverick? I mean did he ever try to bring people, communities, religions together? big NO!!!

2. …not much genuine representation of muslims in media? Well who is to be blamed for that??
   Only Muslims? Well you Muslims don’t control the media mate. And i work in the media and i know how media works. I know all the ins and outs.

3. Again i cannot agree with you on thiis because as i said name one thread that he started which was intended to bring communities, people, countries and religions together? I may have missed it so you can help me out please.

I do not mind criticism i have said it 100 times. Without argument it would be boring to be here on GS but …well i will not repeat myself again i have mentioned it many times that mr. Reasons intentions are not to contribute or have a creative dialgue, unfortunatly i would say.

And whenever he said something sensible i have commented positve, u can check my comments i have always said very well done and i am happy with your comment.

We should build bridges not destroy it.
