Assalamu Alaikum, UmmAminata: Here is the entire post by "peacemaker". Angel: You are a very senior user here. You have many good posts, but there is problem that I would like to describe to you once again that has existed since rami's period as far as I could see. Maybe you consider that the problem is not as serious to worry about. But, that is your opinion. Whenever, any moderator makes an attempt to enforce guidelines or busy with handling those who consider themselves cyber missionaries, please stay away from those threads. This is the last time I am telling you this. There are many cyber missionaries here at the forum. You may have a look at them, just visit interfaith forum, and look posts over the last one year period alone. Why will I have anything against you, Sister? Please don�t misunderstand me. Also that while commenting on me, you should have looked at my other posts to get an idea what I stand for on the whole. Bottom line is that I didn�t say that you were cyber missionary. If you falsely claim that I am lying, you should consider that you are attacking me for no reason. You created a thread, "visually impaired" in comment section in which you falsely charged me for couple of things ( such as I was harsh whereas I was polite, that I thought you were not real Muslim, whereas I never commented on your religion, that you were visually impaired and wanted me to be sensitive whereas I had no idea that you were visually impaired in the first place and I was only enforcing rules meant for everyone at the forum ) that I didn�t respond there so that the matter cools down. And I hope that you would take it in positive way if I don�t respond. For your kind information, I have always fought for the rights of women. As far as my moderation in women�s section is concerned, please contact admin about that, or post in comment section, elsewhere, please don�t use terms such as "no matured female moderator" present in the women�s section. This is insulting and goes against guidelines. Again, if you have any concern, please post respectfully in the comment section. Any sexist posts that would create clashes between "men" and "women" such as its all men�s faults or women�s faults etc would be deleted. Yes, the thread has lost the direction. ---------------------------------------------------------- Assalamu Alaikum, UmmAminata: Please quote me in full and not in part. Above is my post in full. There are many female moderators here. You have already seen Sister fatima who moderates all sections including Women�s section. If you think, there is no "matured female moderator" or you think that I shouldn�t moderate in women�s section, I meant that contact admin or post in comment section, elsewhere you are not allowed to voice that concern as that will be insulting. Please comply with guidelines. This thread shows how the matter has been dealt with: name calling, insult, personal attack without any evidence, absolute disregard of guidelines etc . These are the things why we are in the mess. |

"no matured female moderator" present in the women�s section. This is insulting and goes against guidelines. -Peace Maker
Brother.. if you truly believe that this is insulting, I believe this website than is very disturbing. I hope to God this is a typo? I really do. If the administrators at Islamicity believe that Muslim women requesting that a mature Muslim female be a moderator in the women's sections or on issues that concern women is insulting and a violation against the rules, than that is a very sad and pathetic state of affairs. Unless your Gynecologist, Obestrician, Pediatrician, or psychologist, I don't understand how you believe you can even be a successful moderator in a women's section. It's behaviours like this, that continue to show the world, that Islam truly is a woman hating religion which can't even allow a female to even moderate the area that has been specified for females? Where is the logic in this? I did not make any false allegations against you. I said "I feel" I never said " This is" etc. I stated how I feel. I have a right to feel any way I choose too, I'm sorry that you can't moderate away my human feelings or control them too. And as for accusing me of pitting men against women, I have not done such a thing. Just becuase I believe in "telling the truth" and believe in personal accountability doesn't make me a man hating feminist. If you or the administrators are asking me to ignore or disregard reality, you got a another thing comming.

Assalamu Alaikum, UmmAminata: I wanted not to respond here so that the matter may cool down. But, it seems it didn't while looking at the following link: http://www.islamicity.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7302& ; ;PN=1&TPN=6 you falsely charged me for couple of things ( such as I was harsh whereas I was polite, that I thought you were not real Muslim, whereas I never commented on your religion, that you were visually impaired and wanted me to be sensitive whereas I had no idea that you were visually impaired and I was only enforcing rules meant for everyone at the forum ).

Hi UmmAminata, I believe that would be for the islamicity newsletter not the forum. Anyway you don't need to do anything, if you want just leave and anytime you decide to come back just enter your name and password, providing you remember it |

I think this website will be helpful for you. http://www.knpd.org/mittsfita/dokumenti/abilitynet_factsheet s/FreeforVisuallyImpaired.pdf The Windows 98/ME Magnifier Windows 98 and Windows ME have a utility that can enlarge part of the screen. If it is not to be found in the Start menu, under "Programs", then "Accessories" and finally "Accessibility" and called "Magnifier" then it will need to be installed from your Windows CD. When running there appears at the top of the screen a window that shows a magnified area of the lower screen. It will follow whatever is moving (although there are bugs that mean that it won't track as you type in MS Word and perhaps other packages too). Whenever the mouse is moved it will follow the pointer to include that part of the screen in the magnified window. Microsoft's Magnifier is really only useful as a backup for those who can see the larger of the fonts in the "High Contrast" colour schemes but who have difficulty reading certain dialog boxes (like the "Open File" dialog) that are unaffected by the larger font changes. |

As Salaamu Alaikum, If you use Internet Explorer, click on the View menu at the top, bring the mouse pointer pointer to Text Size and then select the option 'Largest'. I hope this helps. |

Salaam alaikum I thought I had unsubcribed from here? At any rate, Sister HerJihad and Fatima, thank you for your naseehah. Both of you are right. I should have been more calmer. I was shocked to see such a hostile post from some one who has never met me nor spoken with me online what so ever. Next time I will " be slow anger" as the Prophet sws has advised us to. I also did feel a bit attacked by the moderator. I felt that he was too harsh, and was singling me out. Perhaps he thinks I'm not a real Muslim. What's so confusing to me about me being admonished is that there was a young man who posted some very inapproiate language in the same discussion? And it appears that the moderator didn't agree with my views which is normal and to be expected however I thought moderators did not control the topics of content discussed unless particularly vile? And I will say that I'm not a very technologically inclined person, and am not very good using computers. So I wasn't aware that I had other options. My college studies didn't focus on technology except typing. Thank you for understanding, and encouragement. And I will read through some of the older posts on the subject. Although I think it would be wise to just lay low and refrain from comment. This was a good lesson for the naffs Salaam o alaikum ` |

Bismillah irrahman irrahim Assalamu alaikum Sister im sure many people like me dint know the reason behind your big and bold font, and now that we know, no one is going to mind inshaAllah. One person's behaviour is not always representation of rest of community and if some1 slanders you then say khair and dont even reply. Alhamdulillah Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is giving you the chance of getting close to Him. First you get the good deeds of the person who has wronged you, second you get thwab for showing patience and letting it go. Lastly if you find it in you to forgive, alhamdulillah nothing is better than that because Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is Most Forgiving and He loves those who forgive others for His sake. I am not trying to put some1 down here, only explaining a very simple and alhamdulillah beautiful way of islam. We should all learn to control our ways and show politeness in the face of hostility. Because alhamdulillah that is the better way and calms situations so matters could be discussed and resolved. wassalam |

Say: (O Muhammad) If you love Allah, then follow me, Allah will love you and forgive you your faults, and Allah is Forgiving, MercifuL
