Hosts: Mahin Islam, Imran Muneer (SIM), Murtaza Siddiqui, Shaykh Amir Saeed If the intro of this episode went over your head.. It's a parody of some of the refutation videos on YouTube posted by people who have made their mission in life to refute other scholars and/or organizations.  The language we used in the parody is not hyperbole.  It is of our opinion, that the kind of dialogue that spews from these refutation experts is contrary to Islamic ideals.  We feel sorry for their sad and miserable existence. Also, SIM was never actually in a heavy metal band. The Mad Mamluks ISNA Booth #1911 TheMadMamluks@gmail.com www.facebook.com/themadmamluks https://twitter.com/TheMadMamluks
