I’ll certainly give that some thought.

But we don’t post pictures online: the only pictures we’ve used are already online, as the people seem quite proud of their mugshots.

i was talking about this post, not the site. but my sincere advice to you is to reflect on what this post says about your project and your approach. if you find that your site is consistent with the tagline but the post is not, i suggest you take the post down.

and while i’m at it, i would also ask you to rethink “exposing” people to a degree where you post pics of them online. this can have serious consequences: in other (unrelated) cases, exposing personal identities (names, pictures, sometimes even including their home address) has led to politically or ideologically motivated violence by someone who found this kind of personal information on a site.

and Allah knows best.

ps. and no, i am not writing you off.

We are principled because we return always to the Qur’an and Sunnah, respecting scholarship through the ages and today. We are compassionate because we wish to understand people’s feelings and problems, and don’t go to excesses in condemnation. We are Islamic for the same reason as we are principled: our principles are Islam as opposed to any other worldview.

But anyway let’s not dwell on this, as I’m sure you can consider my criticisms in good spirit and not worry about them too much. All the best.

“probably one of those who thinks that ‘there is no zionists lobby’ and if there is they have no power, and also that the ‘neocons maybe nice people, we need to discuss islam with them’. in other words, living in bloody denial”

This kind of comment is exactly what I mean by comments that don’t make me come back for more! I mean, if he’d bother to read my site he’d know better. But there is a tendency over at your forum to just attack, attack, attack. And not many people are deserving of such treatment.

Anyway, I was made more negative towards MPAC by the fact that I joined the forum, posted an introduction and was then banned without explanation, and nobody responded to my e-mail asking why. Perhaps you could oblige?
