Political lobbying

Does it work?

I had a long arguement with Ed a few weeks ago.

He was saying if anyone was angry about uk policy, they should lobby.

I have the opinion that lobbying is next to useless here in the UK. You need big bucks. You make a party political donation (known as bribery abroad). The government runs a consultation excercise, and your view wins. Unless someone made a larger donation.

In short I do not think lobbying works for mere mortals.

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...

Guidelines for Names

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.
5.

Mosques are Evil!!!

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?
