Integrating into British society

published by kas on 4 July, 2006 - 23:43

Today Tony Blair said that it is we moderate muslims who have to root out extremism within our midst. Many muslims apparantly don't integrate enough.

I think integrating has limits and we should not cross that limit and go against Islam.
I mean that people should be able to read, write and speak English, they should be working and paying taxes, they should get along with other non muslims etc.

But i feel under no circumstances must we integrate to a level that goes against the teachings of Islam.

We are what we eat, what's you're favourite food?

What we choose to eat determines what kind of person we are to some extent and also determines our physical appearence, emotional side and lifestyle.
It shapes us to be the people we are (literally), hence the saying goes "we are what we eat" is true to some extent.

On this note i would like to ask you people what you like to eat? What do you tend to eat or drink the most? What can't you resist when you see on a plate starring at you screaming "eat me eat me".

A few Islamic questions

Hi iv'e just a few questions on my mind.

If i have a shower or a bath do i still need to perform wudhu inorder to read salaat or the Quraan.
When i mean shower i mean cleaning the whole part of oneself.
After a shower do i still have to perform wudhu in the tradition sense.
Or is having a shower the same as perrforming wudhu, as the same parts of the body cleaned in wudu are also cleansed when you have a shower?

Is it neccessary to wear a hat when reading salaat. When i was at uni i use to go to a predominaly arab masjid in Manachester. I noticed none of them had hats an whilst performing salaat and when i asked one of them he said it is not really neccessary to wear a hat whilst performing salaat, is this true?
