Salam 'Aleykum,

Is it a good forum? do they have lots of members?

Wassalamu 'alaykum,
They have many members, good posts but some members display terrible adab from what I've seen; but then again SF is not immune to it.

Recently I've been to the "Ummah" forum... there's a problem with Adab as well, a few bad apples maybe, this forum right here is the most orthodox the most "Sunni" and the most strict...

good adab for takfeeris, bad adab for those who they perceive as anti jihadi aka 'madkhali' I dont think they have a lot of members see the same old lot again and again, disagree with them too long and they'll ban u eventually.

for the sake of unity there is really is no us and them just different opinions and ages and mindsets

and we make dua for people of different understandings and behaviours and experiences

allah knows whose end will be better

The big problem with IA is the excessive internal fighting amongst Muslims over the most minute of issues. Everyone's a deviant if he or she does not walk a thin, narrow line. They won't ban you, which is mostly a bad thing because it perpetuates unnecessary arguments. Imagine if an extreme deviant or kaafir came to Sunni forum and made insulting and troll posts - but this person was rarely banned. IA takes a sick pride in its "freedom of speech", where people are free to insult anyone and everyone under the sun - where scholars and great personalities of Islam are all fair game. Obviously, there's a defense/attack squad that gets mobilized if certain specific personalities are attacked/defended. The underlying problem, as mentioned before, is lack of adab.

from twitter:

The forums are down at the moment as we are making some technical changes. We'll be back soon, insha' Allah.

there are lots of angry people over there, I'm frightened of them

The discussion is very good many times but I feel the good things are weighed down by the bad things.
Overall it seems like a disturbed American neighbourhood. It is peculiar that many believers sit cozy there.
They also seem to be sort of SF hating champions. Since these are brothers and sister may Allah (SWT) guide us and them on the right path. Ditto about other fora.
