Chaos in the Mosque.......

Taraweeh prayers: Im am quite upset and annoyed with the Shoora and the uncles. After one prayer I step into the lobby for some fresh air im tired n when im tired I get annoyed easily. Some youth where juz talkin in the corner when an uncle comes up and yells at them and grabs one of them and was proceeding tto bodily grabs the unfortunate boy when I stepped in and with one hand grabbed the boy and with the other the uncles arm and forced him to let go of him. I then askes what he was thinking grabbing the boy like that.
"They make to much noise they have to pray blah blah blah" the uncle goes on.
"Whom says they must pray?.....where is it written in the Quran and/or the Sunnah that they MUST pray???" I reply.
"It is the Masjid law!" he says heatedy.
"Masjid law?...but not Islamic law. Who are you to enfoce this 'law'?"
He opens his mouth to reply, but I ball over him
"You are nobody, do not touch these kids you have no rite, you just broke The LAW when you grabbed him, we call it assault in which you can be charged put into prison for a minimum of 2 years with or without bail"
He walks of I then turn to the kids and tell them
"You must not talk so loud if you really need to talk outside by the shoes, or whisper ok?"
I lecture them for another 2 minutes before I tak my leave.



And the day before.....I walk into the lobby for a drink from there I stand and read some of the pampets when another uncles approaches me and says,
"Why are you standing here get inside!"
"Exuuuse me?" I reply turning my head, I am bewildered by his tone and frankly quite annoyed by it,
"You should be praying its the rule of the masjid if you dont pray dont come, you kids are all just trouble makers!" he says grabbing my arm his face was masked in anger,
I spin my arm around and his grip on my arms is gone, his arm flying wildly to the side.
"Do you think you can muscle the youth? I look up and turn my bodyfully, WE are the muscle!, If you ever dare to touch me again ill charge you with assault, and ill break every bone from your fingers to your shoulder you are not the first person I did it to and you wont be the last!!!" I walk off leaving the Masjid call up a crew guy and leave without ever turning back......


I realize me threatening him was not a good idea esically in the mosque, but im am not one whom lets ppl think they can boss me around, I do not bend to anybodies authority but God's. Tell me I cannot, should not, or will not do something then it is good as done.....
