Re: Ziarat has become an expensive affair

Some of us do have to work for a living... Aareef, since you are 100% correct, obvoiusly the "rest of us" must be 100% wrong, because everybody seems to be an idiot to you. :confused: I think your hatred is spewing out in the form of venom, and you do not mean well to the other readers!!! ...

Re: Ziarat has become an expensive affair

Fact: When we visited Galyakot a couple of years ago, we paid Rs 300/= per night per couple. Nothing wrong with that. Nobody forced us to pay hadiyo etc. We forgot to do salaam to the Aamil and we were not reminded about that too. So I think it is a nice set-up to go and do Ziyarat of all our Dai's ...

Re: Toronto masjid fund drive

They know our weakness is our wives and children, that is why they have the audacity to ask for such sums of money. Sabeel, Wajebaat etc. is turning out to be a big farce. Sabeel is receipted donations. Wajebaat is un-receipted donations. And yet ALL the funds are repatriated to their Bank Accounts ...

Re: Toronto masjid fund drive

As "Observer" and "Accountability" have stated, there is mis-management of funds on a grand scale. Well, here is some more food for thought. Observer was able to procure numbers for 2003 because of the Canadian Laws. Now try to procure these kind of numbers from say, India, Pakis...

Any person or persons who accepts "donations" should, without even being asked, submit to the general public, Financial Statements. We have seen the Liberal gov't. go down because of non-accountability. Enron started a lot of issues. Every Jamaat right across the world is a "profit ce...

Wow!!! I'm totally amazed that our Dawat has such a rich history of succession. However, I am quite perplexed that the references are from authors who are essentially non-bohras!!! Don't we have any scholars who may have written a definitive history in English for us to read and refer to please? As ...

Re: Another Kothari Collections scam- For Saifee Hospital, M

I keep on mentioning that something should be done to expose the Toronto Jamat to the Gov't. of Canada, but I guess "nobody" is interested in that. We are very good at complaining, but no one wants to take any action. Please see my earlier posts (though not so many), but I'm a strong propo...

Re: Progressives at Hajj

There is a lot of corruption within our System that very few can perhaps understand, or are willing to even try to think about it.

Re: Need some info about progressives

Admin,

How come you have not been able to expose the Canadian Jamaat to the Government of Canada for remitting $2M Dollars out of Canada in the name of Charity, between 2000, 2001 & 2002? Please explain.
