Feeding your pet caviar...
ok, this morning I listened to a little bit of radio - Radio 5 live on 909 Medium Wave. The topic was pets. Harmless stuff... or so I thought.
First of all it started off sensibly and they were talking about pet healthcare insurance etc and more or less mentioning the same issues that the Americans were having with normal healthcare insurance.
But then they moved onto pampering the pets and this was... freaky?
I love it when morons get together
I was just reading on the aggregator a story by Islam in Europe about the response in Denmark to a non Muslim pop star called Medina.
She was born in Chile and apparently it is a popular name there.
Muslims are deeply offended that someone called medina will go on stage to perform her song and dance and to tittilate her audience. How dare the woman desecrate the name of the second holiest city in Islam!
Except that even if her name was from arabic, the word madina in arabic means "city".
Show me, don't tell me
If pretty pretty pictures can speak a thousand words, what does that say about motion/video?
I am sure a lot of you will have been in this situation where there is someone about to edicate you about something Islamic... and you may even be interested and then the person starts...
"Nahmaduhu wa nusalleee"
and you rarely get past this bit stilla wake as it is so... ordered and pretentious and fake. then there is the contents that drone on and on, pretending to be atlreast 50 years older than the person is as if that privides gravitas and importance... allowing you to have a quick nap until some moron shouts "Takbeer!" making you jump up as if someone had attacked you...
What if there was another way?
Who is the voice of the Muslim youth?
The Revival has always had a tag line "voice of the Muslim Youth!" - but what does it mean?
Does it mean that The Revival is the only voice of the muslim youth, or that 'Ed is the voice of the Muslim Youth? What about me?
To answer it about me - I really doubt that I am. More there is no single voice of the Muslim youth, but many indivitual voices from many young Muslims and combined they are the voices of the Muslim youth
Something that has become apparent recently is that there are some seriously commited Muslims who have strong opinions - some I agree with and defend, others that I will disagree with and maybe even attack.
