Mods are just lame. It shows failures of the moderators in charge...


It's about time Azhar fires all the mods and selects new ones.



If Azhar needs help with mod selection, I could be of help ...

hijabihoodlum: i think it's possible to discuss the whole range of, well, just about anything, with haya.

That is true but then we get into religious battles with the moral police on here about what constitutes having haya and being beshram or whatever hell way it's spelt.

It is absolutely ludicrous that a sister can't say parts of the human anatomy, [i.e. penis, vagina, breasts, etc.] in a non-suggestive way without being flogged by other members who deem such words as inappropriate, hayaless, and beshram. As if somehow these words, along with sex and others, should now be *'ed out and or we should only refer to them as "the baby making machines" or some other childish nickname.

Some people on the board need to get over their Quaker mentality and stop having religious heart-attacks anytime certain words or topics are brought up.

If you don't like it, don't participate in the conversation and if you feel that the conversation is too hayaless, feel free to notify the mods who will then hold a powwow and make their decision. Sitting in the thread complaining about how the thread should be deleted doesn't do anything other than bump the thread for even more members to view it and more than likely partake in it.

^^ important to note that Muslim scholars traditionally were not squeamish like today's scholars when it came to discussing matters of religion and everyday life. I'm all for using the correct name for things in an appropriate context.

But I think what the original creator of this thread was referring to was the totally crude and vulgar threads, comments and jokes some members have been responsible for lately and I agree to some extent although I have no solution to offer for the problem except to stay away from the threads.

The Prophet (sallahu alayhi wa sallam):

"When you feel no shame, then do as you please."

"Modesty is a branch of faith."

I agree. We can be mature adults and discuss things in a manner that's not haya-less but ya, some of the threads have been... although I think I missed most of them ...

The real problem is we have an infestation of trolls and old unmarried people who don't require much encouragement to take things south. A dangerous combination
