Building Bridges
The unrest among British Muslims both young and old is not only due the British policies abroad but also due the policies at home for the last fifty years. Anti-immigration was the norm during 60s & 70s and the British society and the Establishment just closed its eyes and even state schools tried to hide all physical and verbal abuse of Muslim children and teachers under the carpet. Muslims do not feel equal; that leads to a victim identity and extremism can take place.
So what is everyones views on such marriages, Should we advise or keep quite?
Incompatible marriages
She’s getting married in the morning
But I feel like crying
It’s a marriage of disaster
And won’t last her
She thinks it’s for life
But it’s going to end in tears
Heartbroken, letdown, disillusioned
Abused and treated like dirt
Some of the traits
Of her new family to be
I should speak
But why can’t her family see
It’s crystal-clear
But some think I’m confused
A kill joy
So I remain silent
Let the marriage continue
Heading for disaster
But what
Salaam
I’m sure we ALL know someone who has a boy/girlfriend. And/or smokes, drinks, screws over people, cheats, is involved in fraud of some sort etc etc
These people may just be an acquaintance of yours or maybe a close friend.
SO, what approach do you take with them…?
-Condemn them at every available opportunity?
-Refuse to be their friend?
-Give them an ultimatum?
-Grass them up?
-Ignore the issue altogether? Refuse to acknowledge the issue at all?

More than a third agreed to get on in the UK they needed to be a "coconut", a term for somebody who is "brown on the outside but white on the inside".

Egyptian grand mufti says Muslims can convert
http://www.dailystar.com.lb/article....ticle_id=84053
CAIRO: Egypt's official religious adviser has ruled that Muslims are free to change their faith as it is a matter between an individual and God, in a move which could have far-reaching implications for the country's Christians. "The essential question before us is can a person who is Muslim choose a religion other than Islam? The answer is yes, they can," Grand Mufti Ali Gomaa said in a posting on a Washington Post-Newsweek forum picked up by the Egyptian press on Tuesday.
