Bye.


 * Wish you'd reconsider. Babajobu 14:50, 3 February 2006 (UTC)


 * Don't leave over this. You are needed here more than anyone. Please reconsider. -- a.n.o.n.y.m  t 14:53, 3 February 2006 (UTC)


 * I dont think it will be a good idea to leave WP just because you thought it was an encyclopedia, & then you came to know......it wasent . Dont take it to your heart man . Iqbal said :


 * na ghabra baad-e-mukhalif se aye shaheen ;
 * ye to chalte he tujhe aur uncha urane ke lye


 * (translation)Dont get bothered by the opposing winds O eagle ; they are there just to take you higher . F.a.y. تبادله خيال /c 15:12, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

What happened?
Did I miss something? Why are you leaving? -- Cyde Weys 16:20, 3 February 2006 (UTC)


 * Sigh. Its too bad you're leaving. Kyaa the Catlord 17:12, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

I've only known you through disagreeing with you a couple of times, but wise man say fire reveals the world better than air, and I know Wikipedia would be much worse off without you. I hope you reconsider. --Malthusian (talk) 16:30, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

Salam bro ... We havn,t talked b4 .. maby i was so busy in arabic WP ... but it seems that u was very good representation of Islam here and u could get great respect from editors .. i think such a person like u shouldn,t quit ..i know it is insulting and ofensive for all muslims but come on quitting doesn,t solve the problem .. i hope u r reconsidering this decision ... Salam Alikum --Unfinishedchaos 14:11, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
 * As Wikipedia seems in certain areas to be on its way to becoming another internet playground for bigots, I quite understand your decision. Palmiro | Talk 12:19, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

Oh
Sorry to see you leave, ill miss you. Fee aman Allah. --Striver 01:00, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

Best wishes
Although I am sorry to see you go, I respect your decision. I saw one of your books in the store the other day and I thought, 'I know him.' If anyone asks me to recommend a good introduction to Islam I'll mention your name. Best wishes, Tom Harrison Talk 01:54, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

Get yo' ass back here!
I don't know why you left but if you've been fighting the good fight, then you are needed. Aggravating as it may be- stick up for yourself and those who are with you. I can see why you would leave if there were no hope. I am a relativley new user, people who leave should come to rely on our promise. I haven't been here very long, but I've seen plenty of "bye" pages and too few "I'm not going anywhere until this is settled" pages. Regardless of frustration nothing is beyong repair.

Please reconsider
As I say, there is no need to leave over an encyclopedia argument. Whopper 18:17, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

Hello again.
Thanks for all the kind words above. BYT

You come back, I go... hello and goodbye again! Palmiro | Talk 11:36, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

WB mate! I am really glad to see you around. I guess that you've been busy w/ a new book! -- Szvest 13:43, 9 July 2006 (UTC) Wiki me up&#153;

Hi
Hey Brandon, nice to see your name again on my talk page. Welcome back! I hope you're duly refreshed and ready for battle. :-D SlimVirgin (talk) 14:30, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

Welcome back
Hope you are well. Jayjg (talk) 21:26, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

Qu'ran in hand
Hello BrandonYusufToropov. Just wanted to reconnect with you on this point. Wikipedia's policy on original research allows for the obvious to be inlcuded in an article without need for a citation. So in that light merely walking about with a Qu'ran in hand is not a religious display but if on a daily basis an individual is carrying a Qu'ran in hand and tends to be seen reading it (or even praying with it as likely would be the case) then it would be a religious display. Would it not? (→ Netscott ) 20:50, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
 * I see... but now I'm curious to know if you find my statement here about the "obviousness" of such a display as logical or not? (→ Netscott ) 21:14, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
 * These   are all rather religious displays... aren't they? (→ Netscott ) 21:29, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Religious display? :-) (→ Netscott ) 20:51, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Or here? (→ Netscott ) 20:57, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
 * The discussion was about the French law that allowed religious displays by students of small crosses and stars of David as well as Hands of Fatima (and the carrying of small Qu'rans). (→ Netscott ) 00:33, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

 * ... look painfully similar to the three-card-monte, where-the-heck-did-the-article go game you played when you moved around the article on Qur'an descration at Guantanamo with similar enthusiam and creativity a year or so ago. At that time, you and I went into therapy together to discuss this kind of thing, and I thought we had reached some conclusions. What, if I may ask, happened to the kindler, gentler Ed? ;) (P.S.: I'm putting this message on my talk page, too, just in case the surface heat of the earth evaporates it here.)
