i never read Imam Awlaki’s comment (i’ve been looking for it, though) but i agree with you. Many young Muslims (including me) laughed at this incident but it is certainly not the way of the Ahlus-Sunnah wal-Jama’ah. The Prophet (SAW) never resorted to violence (even if it be minor) so why should we? So overall, I agree w/ what you’re saying.

ASA,
ok so the relation of the shoe-throwing incident w/ the Qur’anic ayah may be funny or even cool to some Muslims but I seriously think that negative actions done by Muslims should not be related to the Qur’an as that can be used by the non-believers as yet another way to defame Islam by saying that it is a violent religion. furthermore, to take an ayah out of context like that and try to relate it to an event out of nowhere is i think, not acceptable in islam. I don’t have much knowledge on the subject but i think it is forbidden to interpret something in the Qur’an as something else out of one’s own mind.

bismillah was salamu alaykum, if the sentence is carried out, may Allah guide and reward this brother and his family for every day of it, and curse his imprisoners and the target of his shoes, too, for every minute of it.

bismillah. maybe we should rename this MM article: "Journalist Throws Shoes, George Bush Ducks, and Iraq Rises."

The demonstration, which began early Friday, continued the theme of presenting Mr. Zaidi, a Shiite television journalist, as a unifier of a fractured nation. Signs pictured Mr. Zaidi, 29, in a traditional white Arab headdress, not commonly seen in Baghdad, proclaiming him in Arabic as “the son of Iraq” and “the humiliator of the occupiers.” At lunchtime, a group from the largely Sunni city of Samarra joined the mostly Shiite crowd in an unusual gesture of sectarian unity. The groups sat together on the park’s patchy grass, sharing large plates of rice, raisins and lamb. A few of the soldiers also ate the food offered them, although they stayed close to their military vehicles. excerpted from the end of this NYTimes story
