Re: Hollywood Islam?

Agree with Lucid. I look at it this way - any publicity is good publicity. People wouldn’t be researching Islam if there wasn’t so much controversy surrounding the religion and we wouldn’t have had a rise in the number of converts MashaAllah. I mean how many tv channels do you see making documentaries on Buddhism? So in the same way, we probably would never have watched this guy if you hadn’t posted the video, Hareem. And the fact that we’re having this discussion right now is proof that his “tactic” worked. It attracted attention and made a lot more people listen to him. I sorta forgot all about the title once I started listening to him. I think this compensates for the title. He was very casual in speech which I liked. I can’t really relate to an aalim speaking impossible urdu! I love Baba Ali and Badman (youtubers) for this very reason. They both use humour to spread the message of Islam and it works, they have hundred of thousands of views in comparison to a stern-looking aalim.

what you will gain with rise in number of converts? This is the kind of mentality in islam which I hate. all you think of is muslim,islam…not about being a human first.
