Dr. Yassin,

You dabbled in that business! The transcript speaks for itself ;-) 

When an idea is called reckless you get personal and make improper suggestions that one is being impolite with innuendos about rulers, leaders, managers, etc instead of arguing why the idea is not reckless. 

Anyway you later agreed "its not the best" which is good but not till after (in the transcript )

BTW, are you preaching here and what has religion got to do with this
