brother Usama2 in my own experience masjids in the West are generally run in a better way than most muslim countries. In the muslim country that I'm in the imam cannot do anything and the masjid has zero activities. The imam is given a khutbah to read. The only activities the imam does is lead salah, read the khutbah on fridays (government prepares it and imam parrots it) and read some hadeeth from a book twice a week after Asr for 5 mins in arabic (which the majority don't understand). Compare this with http://www.eastlondonmosque.org.uk/events and notice the massive difference.

You are correct, brother London786.
It is a sad state of static, of being frozen. Where is the vibrancy of the Islamic way of life?
This is how they stifle Islam here. Everyday my wife and I see new lows for Muslims here.
