lol I never knew u were a woman
I know what you mean about recovering from being on ummah - my God they really do live in a world cut off from reality (Is Abu Mubarak still active as ever - that guy is dangerous imho)
I was the infamous Pinky, then Bekka which abum changed for me because he said that name was too close to the site that is "holy" to Muslims; then I came back as dodi which I figured they wouldn't gripe about the name. LOL Yep, abum was still there and, I think, the main reason behind my being banned. I know I got a time out when I shortened his name to "abum" .. I thought it was fitting.
You're right, that man is scary or wants to be over the Internet regardless of how he comes off in other settings. He's downright mean, got a cruel streak. I once asked him if he converted while in prison because that is what he reminds me of. He gave me some sort of indirect claptrap if it was an answer at all. I guess he couldn't work for Fed-X if he'd been in prison, huh? Unless his record was exonerated or something.
He whined about wanting to move to Somalia so I offered to buy him a one way plane ticket and drive him to the airport. That got me a time out for a month or so.
I thought I was being nice helping to rid the US of a disgruntled, freaky malcontent. Oh well ....
Yes, I knew you were Pinky - but for some reason the penny never dropped that you were a female lol.
Abu M (as I always called him too
) is definitely a chap with a massive chip on his shoulder and though he tries to hide it he is racist (which is why I reckon he is a convert to Salafism from Nation of Islam).
I can't remember how far back you go on ummah Dodi, but do you remember all the long battles I had with Abu M? There were some classic threads there (one in particular called
"Reviewing Shar'ah" they deleted - shame as it was massive and really fascinating).
Those were the days I was still a Muslim and still trying to see if there was any hope of reforming Islam and moving Muslims towards a more moderate open-minded stance.
As you can see - I gave up lol
