Moved to new servers.

tl;dr - moved to new servers, should be faster, less troublesome inshallah.

OK, after a few weeks of choppy performance on the previous hosts, I have moved the site over to a new host.

This should mean both a faster site and less issued.

However I had not moved earlier as the old providers provided more hands on support for managing the server and I had gottne used to being lazy. Not only that, moving servers can always uncover issued and problems.

The new virtual server is a lot faster than the old one, but I will now need to brush up my skills on how to manage it - and today went a long way with that as since a few things did go wrong, I had to figure out how to fix things myself.

Government to attack "unbritish" Muslim behaviour

The last government had a "prevent" strategy to fight (mostly Muslim) extremism (which had some good goals but was also used to spy on the Muslim community and had a pretty negative image within the Muslim community).

Now this government wants to replace it with another one, but this instead of targeting violence or the promotion of violence, instead wants to focus on fighting what the government considers unbritish behaviour.

The future of Britain

What is the future of Islam in Britain? With the rise in confrontational groups such as BNP, EDL and NF, how will our Muslim youth fight for their rights for the TRUE reflection of peace and calm in our deen?

I feel that although Britain is a lot more of a tolerant place to live in, at the moment, compared to places like France, Denmark, Holland etc, it is questionable what the future of Muslims in this county holds. It is up to us to make this a better place for those Muslims yet to come....

Away from home

Being away from home...

Made me realise what my loved ones mean to me,
You look here,there and everywhere to try and substitue company.
A tear of lonliness rolls down my cheek in despair,
As I walk towards my destination through the unfamiliar air.
My destination in this life is really not too far,
As I approach them slowly-they know who you are.
My destination in the hereafter is currently way beyond my reach,
Lets show everyonewhat Islam can really teach.

The fine line

Between backing a cause, and being so overly defensive that you 'defend' it even when it's not being attacked but are clearly too blinkered to realise that.

Lovely.

On a side note:

Do you think there are categorical definite moral truths? Such as?

P.s 'Blinkered' = "Having or showing a limited outlook: "a small-minded, blinkered approach".

Comes from I believe "blinkers or winkers, are a piece of horse tack that restrict the horse's vision to the rear and, in some cases, to the side." hence a narrow perception.
