I just wrote about this same issue (the MJC thing) on Friday...<br /><br />Criticism is fine if it's justified - but it has to be done in the proper way. But we live in a society where the popular culture is one of ridiculing others and making offensive jokes FIRST - before thinking. And the more we buy into that culture - via the movies, sitcoms, music, and other stuff we consume - the more that attitude to life becomes normal. That kind of approach is the opposite of Islam - but that's the contradiction we live in today...many say they're Muslim, but behave in the opposite manner.<br /><br />With regard to the forwarding issue, I wrote about that a while back at:<br />http://dreamlife.wordpress.com/2009/06/17/don%E2%80%99t-forward-this-to-as-many-people-as-you-can/Dreamlifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13795604781473404177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1179359455569946862.post-60669056761977521982012-01-21T09:51:09.460+02:002012-01-21T09:51:09.460+02:00As-salaam-u-alaikum. You make a valid point regard...As-salaam-u-alaikum. You make a valid point regarding insulting others (the MJC in this case). What dissapoints me as a muslim is the way the MJC responded - both to Deborah from 3'rd degree when she approached their offices and to the public after the episode was aired on tv. If you consider that it was an ideal opportunity for them to address the ummah across South Africa because VOC broadcasts only in Cape Town and many do not have access to the internet. The president of the MJC is now diverting blame to Deborah claiming that she sieged their offices for four hours - I seriously doubt that Deborah or her crew used any weapons. Why does he not rather give an explanation or apology for the fact that pork products were consumed as Halal under their watch. He also speaks about money which the MJC donated to students, but he does not explain what happened to the money they collected from Orion cold storage for Halal certificates used for selling pork.Mohamed Moosahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07158667666646416208noreply@blogger.com
