Yasir, i love you for making that wonderful start, Allah o Akbar!!!! You were to the point and objective. I think that Muhammad Habash got your point and thus didnt speak that much after that. The discussion went emotional when the audience floor was open. Plus, why do many moderators cut the talk of the panelist when they are explaining?? Where does their ethics go?

What i witnessing was u people r choosing the same path Iblis laknatullah once putting himself into it. Your fate will likely be like him. Rasulullah SAW ever said that among those in hell-fire, most are women.. I firmly disagree inter-faith muslim marriage.. I might as well be within my faith in making choices seeking happiness blessed by Allah and His Messenger that i found doubt not in it.
