[oman-l] Forward this - Ramadan Kaream

[Abdulla Baabood]

I was shocked and surprised to receive, like you the message below.
I am not sure if the author and/or people who follow his conviction to
distribute this chain letter are actually doing a service or a disservice
to Islam!
I believe that many of you, whether you follow the Muslim teaching or not
will agree that Islam, like many religions, is a great religion which came
to help mankind. Likewise, Islam has many ways of
spreading its message to its followers and to others who may care to
listen using logic and persuasion. I'm not sure if
this 'ominous' chain letter will serve our religion.

Abdulla Baabood

Thanking you, good bless you all and Ramdan Mubarek.
