re: malik99 #3

If someone wants to change/reform Islam is he essentially against the faith.?

Urstruly # 1 - You wrote ``I am pretty sure that its black man`s religion that is holding him backwards``

The pointedness of your remark is not lost on me :)

Here is Mr. Arthur Shiraz, who cannot talk about the plight of Pakistan without talking about Islam. Yet, the same Mr. Arthur Shiraz wrote a WHOLE article about the plight of american blacks WITHOUT mentioning their religion.

This only leads me to believe that he is no secularist. He is simply anti-muslim.

sorry this comment is kind of off to the side...but isn`t it kinda wierd to see desi teens in the US acting as if they were black. Here in the Washington DC area most teens tend to lean towards that kind of behavior due to their environment. So I guess the black man`s ``religon`` (his way of life) is holding the desis back to (because some of them don`t turn out too good either).
