Nope. You forgot all the 'wasn't it great,' 'anyone who missed it is going to hellfire cos it was UBER-COOL!' and 'share ur favourite al-hidayah memories here' posts.

2 things:

No, I'm not cussing the organisation, who I know next-to-nothing about

and

Yes, the followers do come across as a bit fanatical and (dare-I-say-it) brainwashed.

so i come across as a fanatic and someone who has been brainwashed?

Do they go over the same things every year?

No its new things every year 🙂

it does revive the spirit and makes you want to change your ways, u want to become a better person, and this can only happen if you act upon what you have been taught during them 3 days..but the thing is your ego(nafs) and satan comes in the way and distracts you, thats when u need to fight Your Nafs - fight ur nafs (read ur prayers, read ur durud-o-salam, gain knowledge) and insha'allah that is what will help u and make you a better person 😉

I have been to this blessed event three times (or four if you count Glasgow) Masha Allah, and I just want to point out that the importance is not on the knowledge which is HUGE, the importance is sitting for a few hours in front of the man they call Dr Tahir ul Qadri.

From experience, the effect is similar to that of sitting in front of a warming fire and slowly having all your reservations, doubts and nueroses melted and stripped away until all that is left is purity of spirit and ikhlas (sincerity).

He is not harsh but acclomplishes much without harshness. He is soft but does not cause the tradition to dissolve and slip away. He is a good balance and my sincere advice to all is that you take whatever opportunity you can get to sit before him.

Panorama is BBC.

Oops, must have been dispatches. I always wonder who they're setting out to dispatch.

'Muslim Camp' draws UK teens to combat extremism

COVENTRY, England, (Reuters) - Like any rousing Islamic preacher, Muhammed Tahir ul-Qadri's voice rises to a shout and his index finger jabs as he hammers home a point.

But rather than angry calls for jihad (holy war) or a vitriolic denunciation of the West and its aggressions against Islam, Qadri's message, equally forcefully delivered, is about moderation, peace, inclusion and understanding.

Someone should remind the journalist that Chechens were also sufis.

While peace and prosperity are all good, Muslims are not pacifists.

Besides, no one will believe "we are all about pace and love!" until they see it on the ground for themselves.

EDIT - I am not suggesting that the camp was a bad thing - "moar education = win" afterall, but at the same time, the angle taken in that article seems naive.

I think everyone is still speechless.
