Hakeem Olajuwon's Mother is Ill

Nobody here's saying anything inappropriate.

You lose your privacy when you become a public figure. That's just how it is.

 

Exactly. If this is going to turn into a typical GARM argument, then yes, it should be locked, but there is no reason that the thread should become that. No reason at all.

 

look people, they announced it openly at a public forum, A MOSQUE.


you could've been there if you wanted, but you weren't. They announced it so people would pray for her.


calm the eff down

 

Prayers sent.

 

Dude, you have nothing to apologize for. You did NOTHING wrong in posting this. As long as the members on here that chose to comment do so respectfully then I fail to see how this thread is harmful to anyone.
All we're doing is finding out the situation with Hakeem's mum and keeping her in our prayers. How the heck is that a bad thing???

You did nothing wrong bro.

 

Assalamu Alaikum brother. Thanks for the news. Real sad to hear. Thoughts and Prayers are with the family.

 

Nothing to worry about dude, don't be hard on yourself about a well-intentioned thread.

 

You know what I find distasteful? You acting like you own clutchfans and that every opinion you have should be treated as gospel. This is a private issue, yes, but when everyone on this forum is sending their love and prayers to dream's family, it's not your call to deem it "inappropriate". And saying "IMO" is like Ricky Bobby saying "With all due respect____". It doesn't make it OK. Opinions can be offensive, and you're response to this this thread is exactly that. Like you're some sort of celebrity on clutchfans and anything you say should be highly regarded. Please. Why don't YOU have some respect and send your wishes to his family. Btw, I also think it's distasteful to think anybody likes looking at your fat, ugly face when you do "DD's rocket talk". No one gives a crap what you have to say in your unedited, 10 minute rants. That selfish indulgence is distasteful, not someone notifying concerned fans of Hakeem's mother's health. DO YOU think obituaries are distasteful? They are notices to the GENERAL PUBLIC of those that have passed away. And they also are on the Internet, in newspapers, magazines, etc. So, DD, why don't you take your unsympathetic opinion and shove it up your ass. If clutch thought this thread was inappropriate it would have been locked already. Get a life, remind yourself your not famous, and say a prayer for Dream's mother.

 

Exactly. Nothing but a well-intentioned thread. Don't worry man. This thread was a medium for those concerned to send love and prayers. I'm sure it would have been locked if Clutch thought it was inappropriate. EVERYBODY send their love to Hakeem and his family!

 

I don't think the thread matters in the scheme of things.

Eid Mubarak.

 

Like others have mentioned, there isn't an issue here. More than likely, a prayer was read by everyone in attendance. For example, the people present will recite a prayer such as "Amman Yujeebul Mudhtarra Idhaa Da'aahu Wa Yakshifus-Sooa" 5 times for the ill person in the general public.

 

thank you for posting this, and to the OP for bringing the idea of thinking positive thoughts for Hakeem Olajuwon's family

 

I don't think it's distasteful to send prayers out to a person in public. If it was said in the Mosque he's aware that people will share the story and willing for us to pray for her.
Don't know about you guys, but if one of my family members would be seriously ill I'd be thankful about the fact that people care and send wishes.

 

PS I've been in life threatining condition one year ago and escaped death.
I really appreciated when guys sent me wishes cause I realized how people
care for me. It gives you strength and makes you really feel better. Can't
speak for anyone, involving Hakeem and his mother, but i don't see anything wrong with this thread. Only thing I dislike is how some people argue about non-related garbage like IMO, etc. Please stay on topic and be respectful.​

 

I agree with your point, but your ranting post was over the top.

Let's give our best wishes and move on.

 

I think matters like this should not be posted on a public forum, and judging by the responses, others agree. The reason I say, IMO, is just that, nothing more.

If you don't want opinions about stuff, don't post on a BBS. Even the OP came back and realized it was inappropriate.

IMO, it was said in a private congregation for the people that know or worship with him can give him some support, that IS appropriate.

Again, IMO.

I don't even know how to respond to this, I just stated that I thought it was inappropriate for Hakeem's private business to be posted on a very public forum, do you see the Houston Chronicle covering this?

Does that mean you don't like them?

I am sorry, did she pass away? Or is Hakeem still dealing with a very private matter? I am sorry you think it is appropriate that all of his personal business gets spread all over the web, I think it is highly inappropriate.

We will not agree, and I am perfectly fine with that.

You have a very delusional view of me, I am not trying to be famous, I am trying to contribute to this board in my own way.

As for saying a prayer, that is another personal matter - which, I will keep personal - you should try that sometime, instead of acting like a petulant child.

DD

 

There's nothing wrong about this thread OP. As someone mentioned, they mentioned this in an open forum.

 

my best regards to Hakeem & his family.

 

Agreed, I did go over the top. I shouldn't have included by personal feelings about DD while making my point.
