Ali u r absolutely right, I just didn't want to go off topic in addition that I always tend not to bring bad news. U want to hear the true news, well take some Akhi. About 3 years ago a very good Da`aia emerged in the Egyptian soceity. His name is Amr Khalid. U must have heard of him. The fact that he looked like normal average Egyptian young man, talks like them, calling to Allah using Mash a Allah an innovative style bestowed to him by Allah of course. He is an accountant, he started by targetting sports club members. Here is Egypt we have a number of sports clubs where families join in membership, It serves as a good place for family outings as well. Recently some clubs started to be religion oriented. Any way, Amr Khalid started in one of those. He really Mash a Allah reached to this target group, upper class of the society. Many girls took hijab, young men followed him and mosques where he gave lessons were full.
Well don't want to prolong the post. About 6 months ago, he was physically asked to leave the country. He went to London. ART still aired his lessons, when the Egyptian gov. asked them not to specially during the war of Iraq. Mash a Allah he really fueled the youngeters. As I told u they might apply some restrictions on Khutbah topics at certain times. But unifying a khutbah did not yet occur, hope not.
Well this is a true example.
I just wanted to bring the truth.
May Allah help us all
