here's an example:

islamic backlash against youtube series 'diary of a badman' - does it glamorise gangster behaviour or reach out to disaffected muslim youth?
http://www.ummah.com/forum/showthrea...-Badman-Videos
I found badman videos funny. There is always the argument of not imitating the kuffar but I wonder how you can reach the youth otherwise if they don't want to listen to quran and hadith? British society is not like anywhere "back home" parents don't have control of their kids here.
I think Badman is good as a first stage of reaching out to youngsters. Once interested, they should be quickly moved on to look into the Hadith/Qur'an quoted and move away from Badman.Originally Posted by JerseyLily
I haven't watched all his videos yet only about four but I want to watch all of them. I don't think my teenage son would watch them though.
I remember when the DOAB started going big - watched a few videos but for me - might be my sense of humour - I could never truly watch and LOL. It was more a grin and I found Humza's voice just irritating and trying to be funny putting on a squeaky voice. On the other hand, it's great that at least he's trying to do something by using humour and trying to relate to A part of society. For me, I just feel it can be better and appeal to everybody and you don't need to be "gangster", just use good people and writing to connect in a more natural way.
It seems some of the original members have spoken out against him, so maybe the success of it all has gone to his head abit.

Thanks for link Nasman........ I quoted one or two responses:
We know he isn't the brightest of people. We also know how he craves attention and no doubt this thread will give him that but this topic has a purpose. MPAC as an organisation is pretty much finished, this is what they do for tricks. I have showed his comments to other people who were sympathetic to MPAC's cause and they have said their opinion of MPAC has plummeted as a result.
So please, go ahead & show these comments to as many MPAC supporters as you can.MPAC is MI5PAC.He has serious issues where he should be removing himself from he public scene of discussons and representations for Muslims he should go on some anger managment course or something....I'm not joking I'm sure people have seen from the years past the guy has a bit of a temper
remember the "what type of bulls**** Islam do they follow" on a TV documentary about MPACUK in reference to some guys who didn't support him for some campaign
In the wake of the 7/7 bombings I saw him interviewed on GMTV (or whatever else it became) by Penny Smith. He came across really well. He said that younger Muslims need to get engaged politically so that they don't feel the need to take part in extreme measures.
big mouth little brain! sums him up really.
Guys, lay off the personal insults - especially if you don't know the dude.
with all due respect he doesn't exactly hold back when he knows little about a person himself...but you are right we shouldn't lower ourself to his level
post about islamic billboards in karachi, pakistan - either it's just a good way to get out a positive message to the public or a sign of the ongoing islamisation of the country:

secularism suggested as the cause or solution to the much-abused blasphemy law in pakistan:

one poster comments:
"What is the solution for this madness? A democratic secular Government who will allow all religious groups to exist with their full rights. "
hmmm...yes because hijab and nikab bans really show that democratic governments allow religious groups to exist with their full rights. however, under actual islamic rule not Pakistani self made laws ethnic minorities were respected and allowed their places of worship etc. Don't blame religion blame the lack of religion!
