So you should not be extremists, but try to be near to perfection and receive the good tidings that you will be rewarded; and gain strength by offering the prayers in the mornings, afternoons and during the last hours of the nights.” (Bukhari 1/ 38) “...O my Rabb! Expand me my breast. Ease My task for me; and remove the impediment from my speech, so they may understand what I say.” (20:25-28) “O my Rabb (Cherisher and Sustainer)! Bestow wisdom on me, and join me with the righteous; grant me honorable mention on the tongue of truth among the latest (generations); make me one of the inheritors of the Garden of Bliss.” (26:83-84) In The Name of Allah, The Most beneficient, The Most Merciful.

There are people who believe they're doing Islam a favour by spreading conspiracies based off lies, but at the end of the day it's just that: lies! On the other hand, it's like the youth here in SA only take a moral stance on something when somebody sensationalises the issue with a conspiracy eg: The Arrivals series had everyone all of a sudden "open their eyes".... For like two minutes that is. An example would be the way I try to get my family to boycott Zionist products. They never listen, they have no problem supporting the firms who finance the slaughter of Palestinians but when someone forwards an e-mail saying that if you turn a bottle of Coca Cola upsidedown the text actually says there is no Allah or somesuch crap or that Mc Donalds coats their chips in pig fat, THEN they're quick to abandon the products.... For like two minutes that is. I just lol’d

The Mascot of the World Cup is a cute animal named Zakumi which stand for SA 2010, however many local Muslims are convinced it is named after a tree in Hell named Zarqoom. I even heard a Moulana warn against Zakumi on this argument in the Jumah Khutbah, Latest conspiracy theory about the World Cup.

The people have only Allah(swt).They know enough to see that these nutjobs' actions are alien to Islam. Once one man's blood is spilled with no remorse,the rest is a reptition of the same and every episode finds its excuse to occur.They do not avoid bloodshed they seek it.
