[b]Muslims 'want sermons in English' [/b]

Many believe multiculturalism improves UK society
The majority of British Muslims believe clerics in the UK should be made to preach in the English language, a BBC survey suggests.
The Mori poll for the BBC found 65% of Muslims backed such a move, compared with 39% of the national population.

[b]THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT IS REQUIRED. EVERY FRIDAY KHUTBAH SHOULD BE IN ENGLISH SO THE MUSLIM YOUTH KNOW EXACTLY WHAT TH EIMAM IS ON ABOUT? THE DAYS OF URDU KHUTBAS SHOULD BE OVER...NOW IS THE TIME TO MAKE SURE THE YOUTH KNOW THEIR DEEN. i've been banging on about this on the radio for past 6 years!!!! 😃 [/b]

i hate talkin to ppl bak home not cuz i aint famaliar with my language but cuz i dont have anythin to say other than "salam how are u, what u up2" allah hafiz..end of convo..[/quote]

u should listen to us talk to famil from back home

other then "Ji" (yes) and "teek hoo" (I'm fine) repeated at least a hundred times

we dont have anything else to say

but like u we also have no problem understanding the langauge-its speaking it which is hard

Sirus — Fri, 12 Aug 2005 - 11:55

we all communicate in urdu wiv the elders. english amongst us cousins. theres only that 1 uncle i cant communicate with at all. the rest speak urdu coz its whats taught to all our family. the elders speak punjabi amongst themselves rarely, but they dont like it when we do.

i guess urdu sounds moe polite
