Pakistan Floods- Emergency Help Required!

3 August, 2010 - 08:27 — TheRevivalEditor

Pakistan Floods

Due to the monsoon flooding affecting North-West Pakistan, over 1,000 people are reported to have died with that number likely to rise as more information becomes available. At least a million people are believed to have been affected in the worst hit areas. In the aftermath of the floods there is a serious risk to survivors from potentially deadly diseases including diarrhoea, which will spread as a result of contaminated surface and drinking water.

Please donate as much as you possibly can, to help your fellow muslims in their hour of need.

Are you happy to talk to the media about the 'Burqa'?

29 July, 2010 - 15:45 — TheRevivalEditor

Salaam

I am regularly asked by the media to get them people who either wear the niqab or anyone who has a strong view point about the niqab.

ITV's This Morning a doing a peice on teh burqa and they ideally want a niqabi but anyone who is IN FAVOUR of teh niqab or feels it shouldn't be banned; as apparently they already have those who want it banned. Its not a debate but a 5 minuet report for Thsi Morning and you will need to pop down to London for the recording.
So if interested, let me know pls.

Also for future, if you are happy to talk to the media about your views on anything then let me know.

I've always talked about setting up a revival matrimonial service.... and soon I'm thinking of setting up a matrimonial databse.... only because so many ppl out there cant find a compatible muslim marriage partner!

ZAKIR NAIK BANNED FROM ENTERING UK

18 June, 2010 - 12:09 — TheRevivalEditor

Home secretary Theresa May bans radical preacher Zakir Naik from entering UK

A radical preacher who claimed that “every Muslim should be a terrorist” has been banned from coming to Britain, The Daily Telegraph can disclose.

In her first major test of being tough on extremism, Theresa May, the new Home Secretary, said she was banning Zakir Naik from entering the UK.

Dr Naik, a 44-year-old Indian televangelist, had been due to give a series of lectures at arenas in Wembley Arena and Sheffield.

The Home Secretary can exclude or deport an individual if she thinks that their presence in the UK is not conducive to the public good.

ALCOHOL ABUSE IN THE MUSLIM COMMUNITY

11 June, 2010 - 17:20 — TheRevivalEditor

SALAAM

I'm working on this issue for a future article in The Revival, some views and comments on the following issues would be helpful:

Alcohol abuse in the Muslim community:

does it exist?

is it big but under cover?

is it as bad as weed/coke amongst our youth?

do you know muslim youth personally who drink...or even drink openly?

do you know of ex-drinkers who have now become active practising Muslims?

is drinking alcohol not seen as a 'biggie' any more?

what would be the main reasons muslim youth drink?

is drinking alcohol related to attending clubs/ pulling?

is it because booze is so easily available at supermarkets etc?

who would you say is to blame? parents/society/individual/mosques/imams/nobody?
