Peace Truth,
Upon reading your articulation it has become clear that you have a legitimate beef. I trust that what you say is true for no other reasons than the apparent sincerity in your words and plain old benefit of the doubt.
That being said, I wonder, what exactly is your motivation for this thread? Do you feel, from the bottom of your very soul, that the BAZM forum is truly out to change Islam to befit their own terms? And with this intention, you're warning all to stay away from their forum?
There are no hidden meanings in my questions. I think it vitally important to ascertain the root of your complaint.
I, for one, have benefitted greatly from the knowledge being shared at the BAZM forum. I've always understood the whole "Number 2 Islam" title to simply represent the set of beliefs/ideas. Adding number 1, 3, or 4 is irrelevant. It wouldn't even be an issue if they chose "Dubious Islam" instead of "Number 2 Islam". It's just an easier way to say "the religion that calls itself Islam yet is filled with non-Qur'anic traditions, rituals, and dogma."
Again, I understand your complaint about censorship and at this point, I agree. But I think you're reading a bit too much into the "Number 2 Islam" label.
Finally, I expressed to you that I answer to no one except Allah, nor do I defend anyone with disregard to what I am defending. Yet, still, you end your reply with asking me to consider who my master is. This is, to me, the very worst kind of judgement, and now you've done it twice, which tacks on disrespect. A third time will be met with silence.
Peace,
Tay
