With all due respect Luigi please understand I am not in any way trying to justify the actions of those who are responsible for ill intentions and hurtful actions. Nor am I trying to give any sympathy for those who are doing wrong by hurting another person and being deceitful. Unfortunately I have read some of the posts in which people often have confused the religion with a deceivers actions and they are very different. As a muslim it is my responsibility to let people know the truth about Islam.

As far as culture is concerned I am not in any promoting or not promoting a culture, I am simply trying to educate those who have no idea how it really is. This may save some from getting hurt because then they will know exactly what is normal for a culture or not and whether or not there situation is outside the lines. As I believe you are also doing from a different angle. I believe we are on the same page, and this is to educate because knowledge is most powerful. It will also help those who may be confused.

As I have said previously please do not misunderstand my intentions of my posts. There is no justification for deceiving someone or being hurtful. And whether these people who are the predators know or not they will have a big price to pay when they need to answer to God for the wrong doing.

Although I do believe sometimes you come off as a bit harsh, I truly understand what you are trying to say and sometimes that is the only way a person will hear. However just be careful that those words do not cause them to rebel and justify what they are doing as opposed to helping them.

There are some people here truly in need of healing there broken hearts and others who are looking for what is reality and what is not. Then there are those who are looking just to argue and those I believe will engage you and waste your energy and to me there is no point in that discussion.

May God be with all humanity and with those who are trying to help others.

Thank you for email Luigi
