Big Brother, a programme where 10 people chosen from thousand of applicants, were asked to live in a house where there were hidden cameras placed throughout the house covering their every move... and I mean every move if you know what I mean.
Every week one guy was evicted by the television viewers, who were given tasks to carry out and then were judged on their success as well as their behaviour, personality and deeds. The successful person was rewarded £70,000… and we all know it was Craig the cheeky scouser.
The Messenger of God (peace be upon him) said:
'Ramadan has come to you as a blessed month. During this month Allah ahs described fasting for you, the gates of heaven are open and the gates of hell are closed. The rebellious devils are chained. There is a night in this month that is better than a thousand months, whoever misses it is indeed deprived of enormous blessings.' (Bukhari)

Every 3 days, a woman is killed by domestic violence and police receive 1,300 calls from victims of violence in the home everyday - more than half a million a year.

The Muslim world, from Pakistan to Egypt, Turkey to Malaysia and Iraq to the UK, has erupted with anger and disgust and for once is united against the 'kuffars' attack and insult on Islam's third holiest land.
So, what's going on in the Middle East, what do the Muslims and Jews really want and what is the role of the Muslims in the UK in supporting the Jihad?

The British French and German secret services works eagerly to advance their imperialist interests by encouraging Jews living in their own communities to return to the so-called promised land - Palestine.

There are a few men in the world who are capable of bringing the world to a standstill, they have the power to bring western powers to their knees, even the mighty war machines of the world will render fruitless before these men……so who are they, are they the FBI, or CIA, or the leaders of the G5 nations, or may be the free masons (who ever they are), or even …
Actually it's neither of these, although some of them may have some power in the world, but not the absolute powers mentioned above. What if I was to tell you that these people are actually Muslims….." yeh yeh" you're thinking "you're gonna tell me that 'Clinton' and 'Putin' are Muslims now are you".
