RE: [chottala.com] How Muslim Culture Influenced America// SBIA Family Night-Oct-2-2009

IEEE is a professional institute, set up with a view to improving the professional knowledge of the electrical and electronics engineers in the international arena. IEEE is not a religious institute. Any resources of IEEE shall not be used for non-engineering, non-technical, and non-professional affairs; and specifically not for any religious activities. Also, it is a fact that the most of the members of IEEE are non-muslims. In that situation, if a muslim IEEE member, set up the mind to use IEEE resources, aimed at spreading islam to non-muslims, or to hedaya muslims to earn more rewards for the hereafter, it would be quite a misuse, unjustified, and un-ethical. You do whatever you want for your own religion but do not invoke your fellow organization members who are not in your religion and who do not want any hedaya from you. Oil and improve your own machine brother, before spreading the rhetorics. Use your own personal resource and media for publicizing your religious activities, not a media set up for different other non-religious missions.
