Brother Kabir,

I am sorry if you are offended and please accept my apology.
As far as examples are concerned ,the zakat committee does not share confidential information of zakat requests to the public .It is only for our own records and I hope you understsnd that too.
Again
You are entitled to your opinion and what others do with their personal lives is their business . I will now put this matter to rest and close this chapter in our relationship.
Let us move forward please and look towards a better future.
If the present Government has offended you please direct it to them not me . i did not do any of what you have said therefore I cannot be responsible for anyone's mistakes not even my own son.
Thanks again
and sorry if I have offended you.

Habib

I wonder why you find it justifiable to call for the boycott of certain institutions, like McDonalds for example, because of their policies in Arab lands but can't seem to extend that justification to issues like the one at hand. I say it is because of sheer hypocrisy! Principles should be consistent and not waived in some instances and maintained in others.
