The brother replied as a comment, which again was based on irrelevant points. Instead of acknowledging the pertinent points raised, after claiming that my initial article was poorly written with spelling mistakes etc and that he would not be resorting tit for tat, he does exactly the same. He runs with his sob story and then proceeds to take a swip at the articles I've written on the website.

let me make a few things very clear to you, to even someone who has been in the dawah for 2 decades as you claimed and read this properly before you get angry yourself. (what did you think we were, the books of the brothers you illegally scanned and put up have been publishing books for 2 decades, don't play childish games)

1. i am not angry, this has been done to us not now but for 2 decades, our urdu and english books.

2. I did not drag your name in the mud, you did by behaving the way that you did, all of this was avoidable, we spoke you nicely, you brothers did not even respond to your salafi brothers that aimed to resort to the innocent defence story. Had you wanted to work with us and resolve the issues you would have replied and you did not.

3. you claim you only help out, which i thing is wrong firstly and secondly its more than helping, you actively promote they channel, i can share screenshots if you want. There is also other evidence too.

4. Gad you just shared books, it would have bene different, but we have come to learn you and your team even scan the books, had it been that you just share whats already out there its a different matter. You have actually scanned the books yourself.

5. you say you have screenshots of us sharing books too and that you have evidence. Try to understand this point before you present your so called evidence. You have scanned and shared thousand of books. We have if any shared handful and even that was in the past and if an admin did they were reprimanded and corrected, this is in the english group. As for the Arabic group, some of these books have been shared by the authors or publishers and it returns back to out original point of harming the Salafi dawn. That is, if others have scanned it and you are merely sharing it to help people that is a totally different matter.

However, like the Kharijis in the west like Kalamullah and Sunniconnect who have gone out of their way to scan Salafi books and promote the deviated ones, you connect to them and the people, this is not right. the point is, you guys have actually scanned books of salafi publishers.

i am not interested in working with you guys due to your attitude. You reckless approach to Salafi publishers and crying about your name, you should have thought about the honour of your Salafi brothers before your embarked on your quest to inadvertently destroy other Salafi publishers.

I put up a simple request on Facebook to remove our books from your telegram channel and the other channels you operate. As for your other insinuations pathetic swipes, then i don't have any problem with that and i forgive you as my salafi brother, but your reckless attitude has to stop, we approached you in the brotherly way and you came out and said we will do what we want, and you hid behind the issue of it being researched. We will share the views of the Ulama and you will see how many of them were similar view to us. You mention sh Bakr Abu Zayd, then please do share what he said.

The 3 publishers i mentioned, there is another 1 from USA and we are talking to 2 others in the UK. will take legal actions against you and all those named, due to your complicit participation in this regard. i don't care who you are.

Your attitude should been from the onset, brothers we are so sorry we will take your books down right away because we are sure you have other projects to finish. Look at this link (these are just some of them),

http://www.salafiri.com/e-books-pdfs/

these were potential books but when we fist published our book,s people counterfeited them reprinted them without permission and some people scanned them online for decades we had to put our books in PDF format. What are the names of your book and where are the PDF's?

Because of you and the telegram channel, the publishers are thinking of never sending books to the USA, i know i will never be sending books to the USA.

also, we know exactly who scanned the books because we don't distribute our books, we sell directly to consumers, therefore we have a trace on every book. 2. we have put certain marks on each book when he posted to know which copy goes to whom. And since i know it was to salamis, we don't want to go down this route but you forced us with your reckless and bad attitude. The brother the books went to and you will end up through legal rulings.

You claim you can be contacted, you blocked me and ran off in a storm because of these legal implications, once again to remind you, you are part of this team and we believe instrumental in it, yet your playing the innocent card game. I have now blocked you, when you had the chance to communicate with us, you blocked me and then unblocked me to comment on my post. this is your 2 decades in dawn and tit for tat attitude you were talking about.

if you want to contact me, then do so via nay other means.

May Allah forgive us, Amin.
