		<description>Labbaika means....AT YOUR SERVICE....(not hundred percent sure) 

I have seen in one of your posts which you attempted to delete comments when some words were in Arabic. 
I couldn’t figure it out why you so hate Arabic language and its culture but if someone studies Arabic they will know how beautiful and eloquent the language is. For your information, Arabic is rooted from Aramaic and Hebrew and English came into existence at much later stage. 

While reading some of your articles and comments it seems you know everything within and beyond of our human imaginations! It’s like your way is always the right way and the rest goes to the high-way.

This is not the right way to win the hearts of the people. Indeed, you make others to hate you. The educated people do not act in such away...or else, you might have been thought gaining some little knowledge could own the world for the rest of your life. 
 You need to understand that some people may be good at writing or good at talking or good at doing things or may be good at something but everyone has got be involved when you are communicating with the rest of the world. This is INTERNET and CALLED WORLD WIDE WEB aka www (everyone knows this including you). A language or religion shouldn’t be a barrier. Someone might be a Muslim or Christian or Jew but they might be beneficial in your life at some point in time. 

You guys always promote your first commandments – The Freedom of Expression...though, when it comes to your emotions it got to be breached and manipulated for your own demands but when it comes to others the phrase should be safe and sound and act/worship upon it! What a bias phrase. 

I would suggest you to learn interpersonal skills and learn not to be proud of yourself but rather getting respect from others while appreciating their faiths, beliefs, culture, language and knowledge....etc

Also, I have seen some of your writings by praising yourself and how generous with your philanthropic (giving) acts. Again, you don’t need to appreciate and praise yourself for what you do to others but rather give a chance to others to praise you. There are millions of people who help others. There are millions of scholars and educated people around the world, there are millions of people who help others but most of them keep silent and do their things. You need to learn a lot just by writing few articles wouldn’t make you a better person/knowledgeable. Your knowledge couldn’t help others when you praise yourself a lot! Mate take a U-TURN or just follow the gloomy path! Cheers</description>
