How many are genuine organizations helping fellow human beings or are they all, like in Pakistan, fronts for al-Qaeda terrorist organization. <p>Helping fellow being is a trait that doesn't exist for the majority sunni-wahabis.

Look who is talking about propaganda?<p>The old dinosour akberally using the nicks of muslim first, Abde Allah, alphabxx, hafiz, and even anajmi and god knows what else and sounding noble in this post calling me "nizari brother" as if I am hard-up to be associated with his brotherhood.<p>If sunni-wahabis are into charities talk about it. They have more hadeeths talking about "how to piss" than on "helping fellow humans".

Now now asif khan. Do not be so eager to get an ass whipping once again. If I were to start quoting the hadith that require muslims to help fellow human beens, that will be one more truth that you will have to deny and that will only make your path towards hell a little bit easier. Why don't you follow what you preach and not slander. But then we were never good at following what we preach, were we?

So what does the living Imam say about how to piss - "Piss as you want to. Don't sit, don't wash, Ismailis are allowed to piss like dogs" - is that what he says?
