I also find it odd that when people read the articles, they litteraly use a magnifying glass, looking at each sentence and word carefully. If you are looking for faults, surely will find it as these articles are written by humans.. What I fail to understand is, for those who were upset by the words used to describe Colin Powell, did they send the writer an email (through contact)? A scholar once said: "To admonish your brother in private is to advise him and improve him. But to admonish him in public is to disgrace him and shame him." Well said Umar..

As a blog, we exercise limited control over comments. As for posts, please feel free to point out whenever you see a post that disappoints you. Regarding Jewel of Medina, we (whoever criticized) completely stand by any criticism of altmuslim in that SPECIFIC issue. In fact, I think we should have started a campaign against them for giving the author, someone who mocked and defamed our Prophet (S), an honor of sort. Despicable indeed! There is freedom of speech, and then there is freedom to protest and distance oneself from disgusting material. Altmuslim should have exercised the latter. If Altmuslim editors have a sense of haya for the Prophet (S), I hope they will consider removing the post. And whoever has any pull there, they should insist on the same, or at least place a comment there criticizing the decision to publish. Wallahualam. Umar, thx for your feedback.
