Where are the Great British Muslim Personalities?

published by You on 7 March, 2009 - 16:08

Ya'qub wrote in another topic:

I remember Suhaib Webb from California being one of them; he is really 'down with the kids' but not in a patronising way. Also some American shiekh who knew Malcolm X... TBH I think the American sheikhs are, on the whole, a whole level ahead/above their British counterparts in terms of showing how Islam is relevant to us on a day-to-day basis, and not being apologetic about what Islam teaches or the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam (Peace and Blessings be upon him) taught.

Discuss.

'Muslim MTV' Launched

Egyptian channel 4Shbab aims to provide an Islamic take on music video culture for the world

On a boat moored on the Nile, 4Shbab's founder, Ahmed Abu Haiba, explained why the current music video networks were a threat to Muslim identity. "These channels are strange to our culture," he said. "There are young Muslim men today who'd like to have girlfriends, be part of a dating culture, and yet when they want to get married they look for a devout, religious wife. This is cultural schizophrenia … and it's these channels which are giving our young generation such misunderstandings and smashing their identities."

If we win the war in Afghanistan, we could lose a battle in Pakistan

The Taliban now have more support from their restless neighbours than ever before

If you think Afghanistan is a mess, just look across the border to Pakistan. It is a country teetering on the brink of total collapse. For much of the past eight years, since Central Asia became the epicentre of the global campaign against Islamist-inspired terrorism, the coalition's attention has focused on Afghanistan. Apart from being the launch-pad of the original al-Qaeda attacks, the chaotic security situation there and lack of effective government made it a fertile breeding ground for Islamist-minded malcontents.

Did Clinton sabotage a Palestinian reconciliation?

published by You on 6 March, 2009 - 14:15

Still reeling from the Israeli massacres in the occupied Gaza Strip, Palestinians have lately had little to celebrate. So the strong start to intra-Palestinian reconciliation talks in Cairo last week provided a glimmer of hope.

An end to the schism between the resistance and the elected but internationally-boycotted Hamas government on the one hand, and the Western-backed Fatah faction on the other, seemed within reach. But the good feeling came to a sudden end after what looked like a coordinated assault by United States Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, European Union High Representative Javier Solana, and Fatah leader Mahmoud Abbas whose term as president of the Palestinian Authority (PA) expired on 9 January...

Bionic eye gives blind man sight

published by You on 4 March, 2009 - 19:02

A man who lost his sight 30 years ago says he can now see flashes of light after being fitted with a bionic eye.

Ron, 73, had the experimental surgery seven months ago at London's Moorfield's eye hospital.

He says he can now follow white lines on the road, and even sort socks, using the bionic eye, known as Argus II.

It uses a camera and video processor mounted on sunglasses to send captured images wirelessly to a tiny receiver on the outside of the eye...

Warrant issued for Sudan's leader

published by You on 4 March, 2009 - 14:43

The International Criminal Court has issued an arrest warrant for Sudan's president on charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity in Darfur.

But the court in The Hague stopped short of accusing Omar al-Bashir of genocide. He denies the charges.

Thousands of protesters took to the streets of the capital, Khartoum, after the announcement, amid fears of unrest.

The UN estimates about 300,000 people have died and millions been displaced in six years of conflict in Darfur...
