    allow me to illustrate

    it could have been einstein preaching. i still will not click
    i thought there was an implicit understanding of convention
    it appears however that it needs to be re-emphasized

    if it is the only citation for one's point or argument, provide transcript
    video has distasteful connotations
    one only weakens one's position if utilized
    this is the way it is and the way it should remain
    transgress at your own risk

    i propose the offender be availed of the opportunity to rectify (see skin and chris). objections and complaints met with a lock.

    furthermore, convention does allow for this if the venue is appropriate
    figure that shit out for yourself

    firstly:

    1)merely calling the content of the link preaching is purely dismissive, and doesn't constitute a valid argument, or refutaion, or critical analysis of the content. it smacks of "talk to the hand coz the face aint listening" typical yank.
    2) furthermore it (labelling it as preaching) is inaccurate, in his talk naik takes common misconceptions and accusations and offers clear, incisive authoritive answers, citing authentic sources and islamic jurisprudence. he is excersisng his fundemental right to counter that which is based in total lack of islamic knowldege, this does not constitute preaching.

    secondly

    how is the link above, different to:

    http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article13936.htm

    (from: http://www.sciforums.com/showthread.php?t=58780)

    would chomskys lecture be any less valid had it been posted on youtube?
    would the inherent validity in naiks lecture be any different if i had downloaded it to my hard drive, and attached the file to my post instead of linking to youtube?

    or:
    what's the difference between:

    http://www.famousmuslims.com/Yusuf Estes.htm

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E6K0627FiCk&feature=related

    the platform or medium through which information is conveyed is incidental to the the content of the information.

    to simply dismiss links to youtube is absurd, and has no validity.
