How about Funzo?

At the beginning of 2008 he was a little kid, now he's a fully-grown man!


yes ill accept the award....

Those who danced were thought to be quite insane, by those who couldn't hear the music...

well, this thread was a failure. Anyone got any idea at someone who did something last year?

There must be someone!

What about Ajmal Masroor? He's been on quite a few documentaries, representing Islam, he's even running for the BEthnal Bow and Green seat at the next election as a Lib Dem candidate.

Or we can have Anas Al Tikriti- He was one of the leading Gaza portestors.

Or What about the one and only George Galloway?

Not really heard of the first 2.

If we can get to 5 (with write ups of what they in the past year), that would be a very good idea IMO.

You suggested three. Ya'qub suggested Fethullah Gullen and I suggested GWB. THat adds upto.. 5!

ANy others?

WHo wants to do an introductory write up for them?

And 2 of them aren't Muslims!

Don't just do something! Stand there.

Maybe add the PM of turkey? for not getting banned and imprisoned? For trying to allow women in his country to wear the headscarf? For trying to promote peace? and then after the year is finished, for getting angry at DAVOS?

Once we have a write up (Ya'qub, you reading?) maybe send an email to all the people on the announcements mailing list too.

come on, that's just like laziness. Are there any muslims in there? Did they do anything to benefit muslims?

or is that just a power list where they focussed on themselves?

Having a quick look through that - they certainly know how to stick adverts in there.

As for names, there are very few that I recognise.

it's a list of anyone who happens to be Muslim and has done ok. Good for them, but not enough to become a "personality of the year" is it?
