According to one of its ardent supporters, ‘It was very interesting. I’ll write more observations later, but interesting in itself is the list of speakersand supporters (in order of speaking): Dr Ghayasuddin Siddiqui, Dr Usama Hasan, Shaykh Abdul Aziz Bukhari, Timothy Garton Ash, Lord Paddy Ashdown, Rachel North, Dr Musharraf Hussain, Jemima Khan, Dr Ali al-Saleh, Arsalan Iftikar and Mohammed Ali Hee.’

President Jimmy Carter has met exiled Hamas political leader Khaled Meshaal during his trip to Syria. As part of his tour of the Middle East, Carter had already met with Hamas representatives in Egypt.
By his own admission Carter is not trying to mediate in the Arab-Israeli conflict, but – and here is the real problem – he does believe peace will not be achieved without talking to Hamas. Carter’s meeting in Egypt with Hamas representatives Mahmud Zahar and Said Siam was met by severe criticism, in fact the meeting was supposed to be held in the Gaza Strip . . . → Read More: Talking to the Enemy

Next week is the launch of the Quilliam Foundation by new age ‘Muslim revivers’ – Majid Nawaz, Ed Husain, Rashad Ali et al. The following week is the launch (well re-launch) by the ’secularists’ – ie the British Muslims for Secular Democracy. This BMSD includes the likes of Ghayasuddin Siddiqui of the defunct Muslim Parliament (I dream of the day when a Muslim women can marry a non-Muslim man), Yasmin Alibhai Brown (I recently discovered that I’m Muslim, not Black) and Taj Hargey (denier of Hadith). They have seven supporters – yes seven!
So what are they bringing to the debate. BMSD . . . → Read More: Same dirt, new shovel!

Before you email your complaints – it’s Omar Brooks not Al-Khattab. I was trying to find references to Social Security benefits in the Qur’an and Ahadith, but sadly with my limited knowledge I failed. Perhaps I should ask Omar or Abdul Saleem…

The Evening Standard has finally done it. Just when you thought it couldn’t get any lower in the gutter, it decides to prove us wrong.
The paper would have us believe that ‘all Muslims’ have a secret agenda to get Ken Livingstone elected as London Mayor. Apparently, campaigning for a two-term mayor from the governing party must be a sinister thing to do? That’s not all, a suicide-bomb-advocating supporter of Hamas – Dr Azzam Tamimi – is also leading this conspiracy.
They would never dream of making such allegations of Ken’s Jewish supporters, and yes there are many out . . . → Read More: Dr Azzam Tamimi – sue the Evening Standard
