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="Omrow"]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?"[/quote]
I would be worried about hows shes speaking.

Salam

We cant have righteous ladies accidently
leading many a girl astray, and into the arms of "players".

Now that we have acknowledged that Revival can be
dangerous for your "health" - especially children's health -
I say we immediately move to do something about it.

I suggest that the Revival Magazine carries a warning for parents.

A sort of system used in movie ratings.

For example, if an edition contains an article, such as the
one penned by the pious lady, then the editors ought to
have a "PG 12", or "18" clearly written on the cover.

Although I admit that this is not a fool proof method,
because some kids nevertheless manage to sneak into 15 or 18 films. Beast.

Think of it as Southpark. It is a cartoon, so it should be suitable for kids. Right? right? Wrong![/quote]

I watched it when I was a kid, and I'm fine (allegedly).

I even sneaked into the cinema to watch the Southpark movie before I was 15.

What a coincidence that he has the same name as me, is he on this forum?

Its a common name

Finally got round to reading the latest issue. Is it just me or does it get longer every issue?

Anyway main area of concern

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.

other not so major issues

1) How can we find OBL if we dont know what the animated OBL looks like?

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.

3) You could have got a cuter picture of a dog, maybe a yorkshire terry 😃

4) That graveyard looks familiar :?

Funzo — Wed, 9 Jan 2008 - 23:30

My friend thought that ali was jamal and jamal was ali???? i could tell the difference straight away.

[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="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="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.

In my younger days I had an orange top I used to wear. Way before it became fashionable after 9/11.

I really admire the attempt in "Blame It On The Media" to assess where all the papers stand on the political spectrum and what it means for Muslims. But I was disappointed to find it intellectually lacking in its definitions of right- and left-wing, essentially equating the right with the hard right and the left with the soft left, assuming objectivity wherever it finds a left-leaning newspaper. That understanding of the political spectrum is distinctly tabloid, if you will, and essentially misinforms your readership.

Funzo — Tue, 15 Jan 2008 - 18:35

I think a verdict thing should have been put at the end saying whether it was for or against islam and muslims.

Ya'qub — Tue, 15 Jan 2008 - 20:29

good point.

It also doesn't mention that the choices we have in the election are pretty much all right wing apart from the Green party (who don't have any policies other than environmental ones) and the SWP who are a bunch of silly-heads.

Funzo — Tue, 15 Jan 2008 - 20:37

The "word you said" is a bad word yaqub i suggest you edit it thank you.
