Ronn I wasn't happy reading your message as I found it quite patronising and sarcastic.... in fact it's almost a personal attack!
Re: "I'm not sure what you mean by that. If you mean that not many people have replied to your message here, I think you need to give it a few days."
ISLAMICALLY, in a "MUSLIM" forum, it is only righteousness, if Muslims who are volunteering would greet new members, say salams, or at least offer some empathy or advice. This is btw an Islamic concept, something that you wouldn't understand and that is why I am in a "Muslim" forum hoping to be in contact with other "Muslims". It used to be vaguely known as "courtesy" in your language.
"It also might also be worthwhile to get involved in some of the other discussions here and make some connections with other people first."
FYI, if only you had bothered searching, you would have noticed that I have already posted in other forums, yesterday, and it is not your business to tell me how, when or what to post in a forum. I am not naive or daft as you seem to imagine. I would have posted more if the moderators didn't take ten years to accept my posts as a new member, that in it self is off putting. I have posted a great length of time in other sites in many threads about various issues and I certainly don't need your unhelpful comments.
The reason why some people enter forums is only to get advice or support from others. When someone is in agony or is distressed or in difficulties or is depressed, you shouldn't act as a moderator TELLING them what, where and how to post before they are offered any support. Again that is not an Islamic way of doing things but from a selfish non Muslim tradition. There is no compulsion in how I follow my 'deen' (way of life), but of course, if you are an arrogant, ignorant, imperialist then you wouldn't understand that.
Re: "As for me, I am not a Muslim, so although I would be happy to make some suggestions I don't think you would find them suitable. "
No thank you.
I am not in need of your suggestions already had plenty from non-muslims and tbh, I am tired of non-muslim advice 24/7.
I need Muslim support. I used to be around Muslims all the time in my younger days and I know the difference between the two. That has changed, esp with the new globalisation (NWO) and wars taking place. Some of my best friends have either been killed, died or have moved somewhere else and yes we have lost our home and homeland thanks to this government and that is why I ended up here in UK, not my choice.
Returning there now, is akin to euthanasia with the West terrorizing everyone (except themselves)!
RE: Salaam, and good luck in your search
Wasalam, I am sure I will be lucky without you, insha Allah!
