Sonia,
Hi.
If you could kindly advise on how to take eteraz.org to the next level, I’d greatly appreciate it.
The next level being: interaction with the progressive liberal community and how to approach it. Feel free to email me.
Mr. Eteraz,
If you want to take your website to the next level, then you have to make fundamental changes in your attitude. And that means you have to recognize the fact that you are a human being FIRST and a Muslim second.
Right now your religion drips out of every word that you type on your website. So the only people who will be interested in your website will the people who are by nature religious fundamentalists.
If you crave for a wider audience then you must embrace capitalism and free market. You must recogzine the fact that all the religions in the world are obsolete and they dont matter at all in this day of science and technology.
Another funny one I heard:
Politics: the gentle art of getting votes from the poor and campaign funds from the rich by promising to protect each from the other.
Hi Eteraz - thanks for your comments. i think you’re doing a good job - and the Nomad Fatwas idea sounds like a plan. IC - i don’t think what you’ve said is actually the case. j0nz commented on an article by Eteraz and he actually said ‘hey we need more of you’ around ! - so there you go
Besides, don’t we always hear the media and conservative commentators always going on about how these Muslims don’t want to communicate with anyone or engage anyone else? Or that you never hear any ‘moderate’ voices..Well then, if someone actually wants to engage then i think pretty much that’s a good thing. anyone who doesn’t want to doesn’t have to!
Twisted - good one!
Politics : The art of hypocrisy.
