Issue 10 - OUT NOW!!!

You —

There have been some disturbing reports recently that mention the release of Issue 10 into the wild. These reports are totally unconfirmed and should be ignored.

Oh, what the hell. Who am I kidding? It is out there. We are doomed, I say, doomed. DOOOOMED!

[quote="Seraphim"][quote="Naz"]1) the repetition of the words h*/s***/b****. It was in the previous issue and again in this one. If it continues ppl might think its ok to use such words you need to kinda tone it down.[/quote]

Really? Where? The articles are usually thoroughly read before we go to print... maybe they were just used for comic effect?

Please point out which article. [/quote]

Fatal Attraction term H* used in subtitle
Sound of Islam
and i cant remember which issue it was but it was the conversation with Aliyah and Jameela where the word H* was used. Im probs just readin to much into it.

[quote="Seraphim"][quote="Naz"]1) How can we find OBL if we dont know what the animated OBL looks like?[/quote]

The assumption is that by now every1 knows what OBL looks like and the animated version will be obvious when you see it.
Why? couldnt you find him? In the first one it was accused of being too easy so we made it harder... and by we I mean me. [/quote]

of course i found him. Took me literally 2 seconds. He is under Tasmanian and on Homers left hand side. Its too easy coz everybody is dressed differently. With wheres wally the ppl on the page dress all the same hence why its harder.

[quote="Seraphim"][quote="Naz"]2) with Ali being in prison you could have perhaps put him in a black and white horizontal stripe jumpsuit. He could have still kept his bling bling on coz that way you can tell the difference between the two.[/quote]

Because in prison they dont wear black and white stripe jumpsuits. Only in old cartoons will you actually see that.[/quote]

True but everyone always associates the black and white with prison.

[quote="MuslimsBro"][quote="Sirus"]they wear orange[/quote] Not in the UK they don't. [/quote] My thoughts exactly. I think in America its orange.

[quote="Irfan and or Funzo"]In prison's over here i think its faded blue i think.[/quote]

Ed/Admin/Anyone that can,

If you don't already, you should have a full page advert for the forums somewhere in the magazine!

WE promote the website on front cover and top of every page
but this issue i am thinking of a small advert on the forums- wont be full page- will attract new ppl here. But i think every issue bring snew faces here anyway.

so to all the new comers- do you come on here after seeing the mag or by accidentally visiting the site?

The article "Fatal Attraction" was one of the worst pieces ever in Revival Magazine.

I dont understand why on earth would a pious lady write such rubbish.

Did she not realise that it can harm children.

One of my friend told me his young niece 10 read it and asked him: "do girls and boys these things to boys, and what far?"

We were all shocked at the corruptive influence of the article.

i think that article 'fatal attractions' was one of the best articles of the magazine..

ur right, Revival is for teenagers.. those who are atleast over the age of 14.. coz thats whats hppning in the world these days..
i got most of the girls and boys 2 read that article in my year, and they all addmitted to it.. saying that what was written in there was true in most cases.. so i think that theyre was nothing wrong with that article..

yehh.. true say, Revival should not be given to Children... unsutaible 4 them...
