The Deobandis are virtually unknown to most British people, yet their influence is huge. As the largest Islamic group in the UK, they control over 40% of mosques and have a near monopoly on Islamic seminaries, which propagate a back-to-basics, orthodox interpretation of Islam...

The first episode was aired on BBC Radio 4 on 5 April 2016, with episode 2 to air on 12 April 2016.

I havent listened to it yet, but someone who has said it was quite damaging to the Muslim community as a whole.

Europeans humanitarian slogans have been exposed for the whole world to see.

Building walls and fences. Closing the borders. Allowing EU countries to create anti-muslim hysteria. Letting women and children sleep out in snow. Shooting at the refugees. Letting them drown.

Europe's nasty face has been laid bare.
Even UN condemned EU's treatment of refugees.

Don't forget that the Syrian civil war was fueled by European leaders in the first place. Now they refuse to help innocent civilians fleeing that war.

If they have any compassion and justice, they would let all Syrians free entry into any EU country that people chose. Only Germany is doing its level best. Even then they are all condemning the Germans for helping the refugees.

Millions of Syrians stuck in Turkey feel the €3bn offered by Europe as part of an ‘action plan’ will be of little benefit to them

...None of the Syrian refugees and the volunteers around the table believes that they will benefit from the joint action plan that EU member states and Turkey will discuss on Monday. They know that the plan primarily aims to curb the refugee flow to Europe. Under it, the EU has pledged €3bn and political concessions to Turkey in exchange for increased border patrols and a crackdown on people smugglers.

As most of you are aware by now there will be a vote to decide will the UK stay in the EU or will the UK leave the EU. No doubt there will be columns of info for and against in the papers, television etc..

Just to start the ball rolling i have put a link to an article on the BREXIT you might find interesting, plus some of the comments and links provided might be of interest.

Myself i am not sure which way to jump Stay or Leave.

What is the ruling of a man who divorced his wife to marry a woman whom he has been having an affair with? The new wife asked him to divorce his first wife if he wants to marry her (new wife). How does islam view both husband and this new wife? What about other people including friends and family who knew about the affairs and divorce but nobody intervene because they think its none of their business?
