| this i heard/read from Hamza Yusuf - "There are some fools amongst us, and they are worse than our enemies. Like they say, give me an intelligent enemy and not a stupid friend. It is an arab proverb because they say a stupid friend harms you when he thinks he is trying to help you. At least with an intelligent enemy you know he is trying to harm you." how true, as for me id settle for a stupid enemy ;) |
