Following is an excerpt from an address by British Islamist Sayful Islaam, which was posted on the Internet on March 27, 2012.
Sayful Islaam : If you look to our own communities, I'm sure we see it - there is sin and haram everywhere we look. And it's so hard to save ourselves, especially the youth. Nowadays, the technology is made so you can do haram.
You know the technology that we have: they make iPods, they make iPhones, they make iPads - all of this. And what do they do with it? They listen to music, they watch haram, they do haram. All of this happens. They make a big-screen TV like we have in the front here. They make a big TV. Why? So you can watch the haram in HD. Now you can actually watch the haram in 3D. Allah be praised.
This is what they do. They make all the hi-fis, the speakers, with such clear sound, so you can listen to all the beats. I don't know how the beats are, brother. Sorry. Long time, brother... But this is how it is.
Every day, there is somebody new coming out, a false prophet coming out, with their new music, new films, new things, and you see everybody running to be like them.
One brother... Who is it who was telling me about Lady Gaga? Where's he gone? There he is. There, the brother at the back... Telling me about Lady Gaga... And people, she dresses so weird and funny. I'm sure anybody that looks at her thinks: Is she crazy?
But the weird thing is that people want to follow her. People want to be like her. You see many of these women - they come out, and they behave like what? Prostitutes. And what happens? The Muslim woman is the one to follow them and act like a prostitute. The Muslim men - they see the men acting like pimps and thugs... We need to become pimps and thugs.
This is the strange... This is their strangeness that we see - that these people, they want the hellfire. This is why it becomes so difficult in our times. So difficult.

Wasn’t saying you approve of his prescription, was only pointing out where he is coming from. Also, am in agreement w/ you that things are getting worse & more visible in Western society.
However, comparatively speaking, the same is happening in strict Islamic countries, except that in Islamic countries “immoral behaviour” (e.g. prostitution) is still hidden and much more discreetly done than in the West.
I’ll give you an example, a Moslem-Pakistani guy living in the UK told me that you can’t see “prostitutes”, like you do in the West on streets, in Pakistan or Saudi Arabia, and that women there cover themselves head to toe, but women in the West mostly don’t & many walk around in shorts or mini-skirts. Therefore, he concluded that there is no prostitution in Saudi Arabia because they all wear the burqa and it isn’t visible. I haven’t visited S. Arabia nor Pakistan, but those who have lived there, especially in S. Arabia have told me otherwise. There is plenty of prostitution both in Pakistan & S. Arabia; it is simply done much more discreetly.
Yes, but not as decadent as islamic societies. Add to that: not as corrupt, not as injust, not as backward, not as sexually degenerate, not as violent, not as idle, not as physically unfit, not as obese, etc. He should be preaching to muslims.
Actually,I follow Rufus and Chaka Khan.
Good stuff.
I don’t know what that haram stuff is, but it must be wonderful. ;-)
Well, you know what they say: Even a blind clock finds the right nut twice a day.
