[quote="Admin"]podcasting is not a problem.

What is needed is the recording, and the rest can be sorted.

However is the show good enough for this reason? No point podcasting pointless/irrelevant stuff.

btw, that is not my call to make as I do not listen to it.[/quote]

inshallah the next four shows will be ROCKING!!!!

we have at least 3 special guests in each show and also zahid maqbool, myself, irfan khan etc.

we will have Dr Jahanghir from Manchester, Vice Mayor of Manchester Afzal Khan, Br Fazal Rahim of Interfaith forum Oldham, Shaykh Muhammad Salim Ghisa, Yvonne Ridley and Asghar Bukhari on the phone plus others in the next 4 shows....

so pls tune in, text in, ring in aswell.

The shows are live on www.mashalradio.co.uk

they can be recorded from there cant they, admin? and then we can do the podcasting?

just caught the last 20 minutes.

hmmm :?

I know a few people on the show have quoted sayings of the prophet pbuh mashAllah.

MashAllah it was a good show, but too much finger pointing imo. Its the mosque's fault, its the parents fault, its osama bin ladens fault. The mosques and scholars need to educate us on the true meaning of Jihad.. its all good we've heard it all before.

Its all nice going on the air and having a nice friendly chat and all, its all good telling listeners to go and learn about the sunnah of our prophet pbuh and examples of the sahaba ikram.

But I reckon, you should try and answer some of the issues. Issues which arnt being addressed by those whom the finger is pointed at. I think that guy made a valid point that we're all responsible to tackle the issue of extremism.

The mosques arn't teaching what the true meaning of Jihad is.. Fair point, as part of your show maybe tell us what the prophet pbuh taught on the types of Jihad he implemented and advised.

I gotta rate the last callers 2nd question.. lol, I think a few of the hosts refused to answer it, whilst the others gave kind of their own warped opinion on it.

I say for the next show get a lot more raw Islamic teachings coming through the air, such as sayings/examples of the prophet pbuh and words of Allah on issues discussed.

salaam

very lively show ...

my job is to ask the difficult questions whether we like to them or not.
who's to blame- i have to ask them, its up to the panelists to give proper answers...
we try to stimulate a debate, discussion and to wake ppl up...

last night guests were not scholars, so most of the answers they were giving were sufficient...

only dissapointment was lack of calls....but had awful lot of texts

mondays discussion is on INTEGRATION.... this time you guys phone in... i wont be there, i will be on Tuesdays: what every mosque should do?

keep your feedback coming in pls

wasalaam

khan — Mon, 2 Oct 2006 - 10:57

u know what it crossed my mind to call in, but i didn't know the number. then again.. I wouldn't know what to say.

Then again its all too easy to comment online, but its summit else when doin it on phone.

I reckon for the next show, everyone on here should call the show, with their forum user names. if you want, I'll record the stream, and stick it online.. so that we can all take the mick out of one another,..

[color=indigo]lol, u wudnt dare!
i only listend to like 10-15 mins of the debate, i found it intresting.. wanted to ring in.. dialed the number.. but then i thought what if i say summet daft or wrong so i didnt bother. Wanted to listen to it all, but then stupid brother came and sed he wanted to listen to our local ramdhan radio station. Inshaalaah if i manage to pluck up the courage, i'll ring in on the other show.
