WE ARE BACK (add any technical issues here)

Well it seems our hosting company has gone bankrupt ***!!!*!??!**!

So we will be moving server again.

Inshallah everything will be available, and I have just backed up.

I am planning to move us to 1and1.co.uk hosting, as they have decent hosting packages.

So bear with any troubles.

(Is it a coincidence, that we also had to change servers just after issue 1 launched? or is it a conspiracy?)

MP Hazel Blears

My current thoughts on Democracy is that as soon as any individual is given any electoral power, s/he will lose his common sense relative to how many votes s/he gets.

It was Hazel Blears I think who brought iup a couple of months ago the subject of targetted stop/search. She suggested muslims should be searched more, and there was a political outcry. Now her views are 'mainstream'.

Just as the hawks legitimised their views in America, they do so here.

I listened to her on Newsnight yesterday, and apart from her plastic smile (you know... the really fake one...

Do you feel you are bieng victimised? no police support?

[size=18]Davis attacks UK multiculturalism[/size]

Shadow Home Secretary [url= Davis[/url] is calling on the government to scrap its "outdated" policy of multiculturalism.

Allowing people of different cultures to settle without integrating let the "perverted values of suicide bombers" take root, he told the [url= Telegraph[/url].

Guidelines for Names

published by You on 3 August, 2005 - 01:40

This is just a quick guideline for people thinking what to name their accounts as.

1. Make sure its not unislamic/rude.
2. make sure the name you choose is not too obvious

We currently have Muslim Sister, muslimsister MuslimSisLisSis, MuslimBrother, muslim_kuri, (dizzy_kuri,) muslima, muslim.

Now in a conversation, its easy to forget who is who. I forget regularly. :oops:

3. Make sure you will not be embarrassed by it.
4. If you have a nickname that you like, just use it.

Mosques are Evil!!!

published by You on 2 August, 2005 - 21:58

Salaam

I have noticed the emphasis on removing extremist scholars from mosques to combat extremism.

However, most extremist scholars are not allowed to occupy the pulpit!

Why are mosques being targetted? We have different issues with mosques (The lack of english etc), but here mosques are being demonised.

What do you think?

The Revival In The Press (TV, Radio, print)

Ed has just told me that Zahid Maqbool (Sub Editor, The Revival) has done many interviews today including being on a panel of guests on Radio 4 today.

I will add links to the programmes as soon as Ed forwards them to me.

(Quoting 'Ed: 'He did about 20 interviews including Channel 4 news, BBC news 24, Radio 5 Live, Sky News, Channel 5, ITV News, The Guardian and BBC Radio 4).

Did any of you hear the interviews? Was he any good?

Assalamualaikum!

Assalamualaikum!

:oops:

To be honest, i dont know alot about revival. I just caught a clip of someone being interviewed on channel 4 news today.. The name sounded interesting and plus, i only know of the mainstream magz or famous ones i should say like, emel, Q news etc.

I just have a few questions:

1. Is this magazine free .. because i noticed that after a while, you offer articles for free online?

2. If it isn't free, how do we become distributers?

3. Is the magazine affiliated with any groups (i.e. HT, or other groups?) What kind of values does it promote?

4.
