I happen to personally know Umar, considering that he is my father and all. He is old school and laid back. He is a convert and he may be a little over the top when it comes to his blog but at least he has the courage to say what so many people won’t. I’m tired of looking on the internet and seeing people slander him; its so grade school. I’m not Muslim ( I was raised by my mother who is not Muslim, she is christian) but I have been living with Umar and he has opened my eyes to so many things that I would never have seen. he doesn’t force Islam on me like other people would do if they had a non believing daughter, but he simply emits waves of modesty and class that comes with being a Muslim. He may seem hateful, but when you get to know him behind the blog, you might change your mind.

The majority of Umar Lee’s bog is filled with lieas and ignorance. Its Better no to engage in disgusting attributes and actions brother Ummar. You are either giving in to these above mentioned qualities or are a mole for the intelligence services used to spread half truths in order to confuse the masses. WARNING: “Masses, dont be confused. And dont succumb to low traits adn vile language”

Salaam,
While I disagree with some of what Umar Lee wrote, I think it is a wonderful reminder of what went WRONG during that time. I did enjoy his expose but I do not think that the issue was restricted to Salafi dawah either. Everyone’s dawah was affected by this issue and to a certain extent it will be. We have to look past all that and prioritize. I’m just glad he’s muslim since I was afraid that he left completely…

knowledge of fiqh in zakah and saum is needed for every Muslim…how come Umar doesnt need that knowledge???

Umar was saying the class, mainly in terms of speaking about one’s financial life, was catered towards immigrant second-generation middle class Muslims. He said he felt like the class kind of assumed he had more money than he did, and that’s why he felt he couldn’t fully relate.

As for the actual Fiqh of fasting, zakat, and Hajj, he said he enjoyed the seminar and benefited. He said so. Who can’t benefit from an AlMaghrib class? No one I think. I didn’t intend to show that he just blew it off as knowledge he “didn’t need” and I apologize if it came off that way.

This Umar lee that your cheerleading for is supporter of music and alot of things HARAAM openly. He has no right in accusing salafees of anything. From a personal stand point he shouldnt publicize a trivial or sensitive issue. He hasnt studied anywhere but we find his blog on salafeeyah a supposed icon or worth reading article. Soon his lies and accusations and interpretation will be answered on a scholarly level. People wondered why hasnt he been responded to, as I typed earlier he’s a layman or worse then that. This is the reason. He’s been made the challenge to come to the heart of salafeeyah in the states(philadelphia) but it seems his cowardice has prevented him from being a man and not some internet stalker in a cyber kennel. Let him come to germantown masjid,masjid muqbil,masjid ahlul hadeeth,or masjid abdul wahaab…..all in the tri-state area and sit with the imaams there and see what’s really going on…..Unlissted2008 let him bring hanson he can get some too!!!
