*** Monday, 23rd October 2006 ***
I wish you a nice and happy feast asking God to accept our fast, our prayers, our actions and our engagements.
May this month be a school for the eleven months to come : to ponder over the meaning of our lives, over God’s place in our lives, over the meaning of our consumption, over the value of our worship, over our love for the poor and needy people.
May this month have invigorated our attention towards the Being, the beings, the universe… a school of respect, generosity and love.
May this month comes back to you in good health and serenity. May the Light keep you safe, protect you and love you. You, and all the people you love.
Happy Festival, happy ‘îd al-fitr.
With affection
Please keep faith, May this Eid brings you happiness and remember the most out of the grievances inflicted against you is this has made you a star figure of Islam, we thank God for that…
Don’t let these grievances undermine your fantastic work.
Hats off to have a muslim guy like you! Fantastic, you created awareness of Islam in Europe. All these debates and concerns among everyone throughout everywhere.
Shame to Envoye Special as well. I stop watching this programme! I used to believe that Envoye special bring you information direct from the source but no more. I am sure we can prove how Envoye Special mislead telespectators across the world. We should mount an emission to show how Envoye Special brings to people inaccurate information and false image of reality, all this wrapped up in beautiful frame of ‘Envoye Special’. The day this emission is mounted, we will call it Are emissions like Envoye Special really special and true or not? How much does emissions like Envoye Special pays people like Sifaoui for such emission?
Thank you so much for the passion to explain Islam in europe after the tarnished images caused by September 11
May God give you more for this passion, energy and love for Islam.
You are very pedagogical in your way. This is what I like about you. You do not hurt, you do not offend in your way, in your speeches. You do not conduct personal attacks against the other. You dialogue… A debate stays for us a space for the exchange of ideas and opinions not a space of court where one tries to judge someone or worse a space to have for purpose and intention the opportunity to violate the dignity of the other. Shame to Monsieur Sarkozy.
About US visa stuff, everyone knows the US government is using the PAtriot Act in way to silence freedom of speech and try to victimise not only people with strong voice like you but Americans people as well. I cannot see in any way that you have provided material support to terrorism. On the balance of probability, I believe the homeland security is using this as pretext to help support the government to keep people like you out of USA for not espousing their global policies and politics. Having you espoused the latter, you would without doubt nothave espouse terrorism by providing material support at all. You would have instead been welcome.
The main points are:
1. the two organisation you contributed charity to palestinians was for the purpose of providing humanitarian aid.
2. you provided the charity well before the USA itself banned these organisations for suspecting to fund the Hamas movement.
3. Even if these two organisations were being under investigation since 1995, they were not yet banned. They were still legal. During the course of an investigation, no charity organisation is found guilty to provide fund for terrorism unless the verdict and outcome of the investigation proved so and a decision to ban the charity organisation is reached. The decision by the USA to have banned these two organisation came only in 2003. You made your chairty well before the ban. there is no inherent way in which you should prove that you ought to have reasonably have known that these organisations being suspected of finding Hamas. They were nOt yet banned. ( this is just my opinion, this is not legal advise as I am not a lawyer)
After all these attacks against you, I think you should still stay moving on the same path. Do not even stop to look or comment at the injuries or grievances. Keep looking ahead and continue your good work.
PS:
* me going to Mauritius next week, you coming? hehe
Eid Mubarak to you and your family.
