[quote="Admin"]No I have not had any complaints.

However I would expect some pointless murmurs.

I am surprised no one has said its haraam to have pics. I would have expected that.[/quote]

when your a public figure, people either hate you-love you-or have no opinion. i know you personally to an extent therefore i cant have no opinion at all.

Salaam

Why cant anyone on this forum just simply stick to the topic. This thread was started to help us get ideas, suggestions and contributors to The Revival but as usual 10 pages down the road and the discussions have been about anything and everthing apart from the topic.
Thanxs . You have been a great help.

If you have any proper suggestions or would like to be part of The Revival team then email me at :
editor@therevival.co.uk

This thread will be closing soon as we already have a 'no topic' thread!!!!

To answer your question with my infinate guessing:
1. I think Cam & the girl are supposed to be in their teens... so he hasnt grown one yet? That or he thinks he's too cool for a beard with his leather jacket... is that leather?
2. Its a warm sunny day... thats why no topee... and he aint reading namaaz soo.
3. They seem to be in the middle of no-where so how can they not talk whilst the guys trying to get them outta there.

Thats my thoughts on the topic anyway.
I think some1 has already mentioned that Ramadan is coming up so we should atleast include something on that, preferably from a new perspective not the same old same old lecture... just to make it more appealing.
Possibly a quick fire facts section regarding things we should know about Islam history wise.
Possible articles: Stuffed Animals permissable or not?(alot of kids seem to have them... not sure if they come under the "no statues allowed in a muslim home" rule.
"The Importance of Being Honest" the number of people i know who lie cheat and steal... is getting to be a problem.
