Pakistan Floods

Due to the monsoon flooding affecting North-West Pakistan, over 1,000 people are reported to have died with that number likely to rise as more information becomes available. At least a million people are believed to have been affected in the worst hit areas. In the aftermath of the floods there is a serious risk to survivors from potentially deadly diseases including diarrhoea, which will spread as a result of contaminated surface and drinking water.

Please donate as much as you possibly can, to help your fellow muslims in their hour of need.

I am regularly asked by the media to get them people who either wear the niqab or anyone who has a strong view point about the niqab.

ITV's This Morning a doing a peice on teh burqa and they ideally want a niqabi but anyone who is IN FAVOUR of teh niqab or feels it shouldn't be banned; as apparently they already have those who want it banned. Its not a debate but a 5 minuet report for Thsi Morning and you will need to pop down to London for the recording.
So if interested, let me know pls.

Also for future, if you are happy to talk to the media about your views on anything then let me know.

Wasalaam
