 IF YOU FEEL frustrated because you have learned a lot about Islam and either everyone in your life already knows what you know, or some of them don't want to hear it any more, but you're bursting to share what you've learned, Here's a possibility for you: Educate people on Yahoo Answers.Yahoo Answers is a web site where people ask questions, then other people answer the questions, and then the person who asked the question chooses the best answer, and that answer goes at the top, right under the question. Each question-with-an-answer is its own searchable web page. Since these questions tend to be the same questions people ask when they're searching on Google or Bing, often the Yahoo Answers show up close to the top of the search results. This means when you answer a question, if the question shows up high on search results, your answer could be read by thousands of people. At the very least, it will be read by several people. And each of those people have some interest in the issue or they wouldn't be reading it. So you will have a chance to reach these people with your answer. What an opportunity to educate people about Islam. And it's fun! If you're interested in trying it, first sign up for an anonymous Yahoo email address. You can keep it as anonymous as you like. When you're signed up, go to Yahoo Answers. Then go browse topics. I usually choose "politics." Look for questions people have asked. You'll see a huge list of questions that were asked recently, some only moments before. When you find a good one — a question you want to answer — give it your best shot. Provide lots of links for further information. Just paste the URLs right into your message (once you post your answers, Yahoo automatically turns the URLs into clickable links). You can also ask questions, wait for people to answer, and then vote for the best answer. Each time you answer a question, you earn two points. Each time someone chooses your answer as the best one, you earn ten points. When you've earned 250 points, you can start giving thumbs up and thumbs down on other peoples' answers. As you find good online sources of information, keep a collection of these somewhere and use them. Quote those sources to provide a good answer quickly if you like. Do it for entertainment. Do it for fun. Put a quick link to Yahoo Answers in your bookmarks toolbar, and just check it once in awhile, whenever you're looking to take a break and do something different. There are new questions showing up constantly. Some of them are stupid. But some of them you will want to answer. Not only are you potentially influencing and educating curious people, but answering questions like this will help you hone the way you articulate yourself in face-to-face conversations. And one of the best ways to learn something really well is to teach it to others. Try not to argue or be argumenative or make personal attacks in your answers. Conduct yourself with class. You are representing the "kind of people" with your point of view. Make a good impression. Represent us well. Give good information and good links. Help educate people about the terrifying brilliance of Islam. It is the single most important thing you can do to stop Islam's relentless encroachment. And one good place to do it is at Yahoo Answers. Go forth and fight for freedom!  |
