Which anti-shia website are you referring to?

EDIT: Oh ok, you are talking about that guy everyone thinks I am. I've seen that site too. He's actually got scholarly approval and encouragement to continue his task. Some of the scholars who have approved of what he is doing, and encouraged him to continue his task, are:

1. Shaykh Abu Salman Deya-ud-Deen Eberle (graduate of University of Madeenah)
2. Shaykh Haitham Hamdan (of Multaqa forum)
3. Mawlana Mufti Husain Kodadia (of Ask-Imam.com)
4. Hafiz Ibtisam Elahi (son of the famous Allamah Ehsan Elahi Zaheer)
5. Shaykh Suhail Hasan (the son of the great scholar and colleague to Shaykh ibn Baz)
6. Shaykh Muhammad Yunus As-Sidiqui (graduate of University of Madeenah)
7. Shaykh Muhammad Hussain (son of Muhammad Baltistani) -- (graduate of University of Madeenah)
8. Shaykh Abu Umar Muhammad Yousuf (graduate of University of Madeenah)

Of the above scholars, seven of them (all except Mufti Mawlana Husain Kodadia) wrote him a letter of recommendation and approval.

Not that I know the brother or anything.

Too bad they didn't encourage him to focus more on med school, and less on wasting time here.

True. I heard he had a surgery exam next week.

Why is that funny? Rich Saudis fund dawah with millions of dollars. Is that a bad thing?

What percentage of YOUR salary do you donate to dawah activities? I'm thinking ZERO. So I'd shut up insha-Allah.

May Allah [swt] bless those rich Arabs who spend their wealth in order to fund dawah. God knows we need the money to counter heavily funded Christian evangelicals and other groups.

Giving dawah to non-muslims is very good...but why spend $$$ on converting muslim to salafism?


The oil money and land of the secred belongs to the Ummah, which the house of Saud have occupied since the last century.

The dawah group that I work for does not ever delve into Salafi vs non-Salafi issues...they even axe material they think can alienate non-Salafi Muslims.

So every Saudi citizen in the world is responsible for the crimes of its leaders? Maybe you should be judged by Musharraf, and thereafter your donations should never be accepted? The Saudi dawah groups are divided into two: (1) those funded by the government, and (2) those funded by private citizens.

I work for the latter, although I don't see anything wrong with the former.

People need to recognize good, even if it comes from their opponents. More countries should adopt the dawah model of Saudi Arabia.

Agreed. Good post.
