Nope. Lame explanation. I would bet you the vast majority of the public does not know a term predominantly spoken among Indians and Pakistanis. I do not know too many Pakistani people who spend this much time vilifying Islam. If you are of a minority faith, you were probably discriminated there. Pakistan is a corrupt country and notorious for abuse of nonMuslims. If this describes your experience, I am truly sorry but you can not mistake the practice of Islam by Pakistanis for true Islam. This is completely unfair for the vast majority of Muslims who are peaceful and do not abuse nonMuslims.

There were two people on this very board who knew the term without being Pakistani.  You aren't dealing with a "vast majority" of public Joe Schmoes. This is DC, the land of the most PhDs per capita.

I know it really burns you that you can't pinpoint my background, but you drew a big fat blank. I've never even been to the subcontinent.  And I don't have a faith.

Also, you aren't sorry.

And yep, we already know that most countries don't practice Islam in the way that deserves your approval.  Too bad no one's zabiha enough for your liking.[/quote]

May I ask -- do you have Aspergers? You seem entirely disconnected to your audience, the vast majority of whom can not understand words like dawah wallah and, now, zabiha. Yet you continue to use such words. If you have Aspergers, forgive me, as it would be an understandable justification for your assumption that the majority of your audience understands your thinking as well as the foreign words you are choosing to use. If you do not have Aspergers, then think about this: There may be thousands of people viewing your posts and usage of foreign words. Out of the thousands, you draw attention to the two posters who said they correctly understand the terms you used. One was you. The other was a poster of British background who claimed dawah wallah is a word of British origin or background also. It's not at all. It is a word distinctly used by only Indians or Pakistani people.

It doesn't bother me in the least that I do not know your identity. However, I can most certainly draw a visual of your possible identity: a severely disgruntled, angry, Pakistani islamophobe bent on lying and twisting historical facts in a one person campaign to vilify Islam.  In the same way as you said the jahiliyah period never occurred and was a lie created by Muslims, and it was shown by written testimony of historians and religious scholars to be a complete lie, the articles which I hope will be one day published about your islamophobia will be read by many more people than DCUM's readership. I am excited that we now have three writers across the country who have expressed an interest in investigating possible islamophobia organizations and writing an article using your posts. I have not even begun to call all the contacts other Imams have provided of nonMuslim writers at major publications. Would I like to know your identity? Not really.  It doesn't serve my purpose. Finding out what organization you belong to does, however. Having major publications write about islamophobia does also serve my purpose.

Despite your anonymity, it will still embarrass you privately. Regardless of what you may believe, I am sorry about that because it isn't my goal to embarrass anyone. My goal is to stop your islamophobic lies and propagating hate toward my religion. [/quote]
