I was approached by the mosque lead and he told me he was going to extend an invitation to Tawhidi based on Ammar's recommendation. His "joke" could have damned 100s of unexpecting youths and their parents.

Before Ramadhan, he made the suggestion to a local mosque in Connecticut.

I want to add Ammar is promoting his friend Brother Tawhidi, "If you can't afford me, Brother Tawhidi is good alternative." Ammar, Tawhidi, Yasir Habibi are all the same. One less open than the other. That's it.

Ammar also said Palestinians make up most of ISIS. Not true at all. His lecture will only promote more hate, more anti-Shi'a sentiment. In fact Sunnis who are indifferent will have animosity against Shi'a after listening to this flamboyant talk. Utter stupidity on his part. No wonder all ulema from a proper Howza say to avoid this self-promoting orator. In fact with these lectures, SHIA will begin to HATE Sunnis. Imam Husain (as)'s message is completely made irrelavent by his lectures. Muharram lectures aren't about entertaining the audience. It's about enriching people's lives with useful and PRACTICAL information that helps them grow in their iman and spirituality. Ammar has an agenda and that's to entertain folks who fill his pockets. Sad affairs. Wa Salaam, D

The point is -- they are two diverging report based on the same quote. Yet this organization chose to pick the report that is more favorable to their point of view even if it goes against Ayatullah Sistani ®. This is there recommendaton to the US government: http://www.umaamerica.net/article/crisis-iraq

Salaamun 'Alaikum, I have MAJOR issues with this "Rapid Report", in it UMAA says Ayatullah Sistani (may Allah prolong his life) ENDORSES US and French airstrikes in Syria and Iraq. Iraq’s top Shia cleric hails foreign aid against rebels AsaianAge.com Iraq’s most important Shia religious leader Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani endorsed international intervention against ISIS in the country in a Friday sermon delivered by a representative, following US and French airstrikes, but called for strict guidelines. Not only is this a blatant lie but is dangerous act of disinformation. PRESS TV reported this same story differently: Iraq's top Shia cleric, Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani, has advised the Iraqi government not to rely on foreign powers in fighting the Takfiri ISIL terrorists, one of his close aides says. Sheikh Abdul Mahdi al-Karbalai, who represents the senior cleric, made the remarks during a Friday prayers sermon in the holy city of Karbala. According to Sheikh Karbalai, Iraq is in need of help from brotherly and friendly countries in confronting the Takfiri terrorists. [http://www.presstv.ir/detail/2014/09/19/379258/iraq-mustnt-depend-on-foreign-powers/] IRIB had a similar story, "Iraq’s top religious authority, Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani, has recommended the Iraqi government not to rely on foreign powers in fighting the Takfiri ISIL terrorists, one of his close aides says." http://english.irib.ir/radioislam/top-stories/item/196253-iraq-mustn%E2%80%99t-depend-on-west-to-in-anti-isil-fight-grand-ayatollah-sistani Both PRESS TV and IRIB reported the complete OPPOSITE of what UMAA's email said. The "brotherly and friendly countries" referred to by Ayatullah Sistani (may Allah prolong his life) is not US and FRENCH but is IRAN. How do people sit back and watch this mockery without saying a word. Anyone with mental capacity of a peanut would know that Ayatullah Sistani would NEVER endorse the United States, a man who not once in his life met with US coalition forces during the Iraq war. If these sort of outrageous emails and spreading of misinformation does not seize right now, I can assure you brothers and sisters of conscience will take appropriate action. Wa Salaam, D

Had to login after years of not -- This group is founded by the same founding member of UMAA. Agha Shukat Jafri Wa Salaam, D Their latest press release on the Boston Bombings is worth reading. http://t.co/ZP4YEh0Zlj

Yes.

Very relevant ... well predicted article.

Brother Zanadine: If your advice was to teach younger brothers on how to be player -- you've done a superb job. A little tacky but well played. However, if your goal was to keep haram way from them -- you've failed miserably. In fact you've committed more haram in order to get to the Halal (the Muta Nikah). This is not the way. In fact, you've been deceitful and you went through all that trouble just to sleep with her. This my friend is an abuse of Mut'a. You've violated the essence of the law. Just to inform you -- since you've already gave probably the worst medical advice ever when suggesting the use of two condoms (the friction caused by two condoms will tear them both) -- a condom cannot protect you against HPV (not HIV) HPV if contracted will be with you for the rest of your life. And when you finally do settle down and marry a wholesome woman, the gift you'll give her is cervical cancer. I'm sure your wife would love you for plenty for destroying her chances of ever having children and receiving pleasure from intimacy. Hey, at least when the doctors remove her cervix, she'll shed a few ounces. Which girl doesn't like to lose weight, right Brother Zanadine? Wa Salaam, Dhulfiqar

^ No one is ever ready for marriage.

Asyeda, You are very mature, disregard the comments about your age. You have been ready for marriage for sometime now. Just remember the nature of marriage is progress and growth in each other's faith. Chose your spouse with that intention. Allah will take care of the rest. Many young girls have put off marriage and are now in their 30s longing for a hand to hold. Don't put yourself in that situation. Wa Salaam, Dhulfiqar

For those advocating the preggo-test -- stop thinking like the 1%, 99% of world don't have access to preggo-tests.

Satyaban is correct. Marriage is not the solution to his problem. His parents failed him.

Are you ready to bear the responsibilities of fathering a child?
