Saudi council of Muftis have given an unanimous Fatwa that ring tones
on QURAN AAYAT are haraam because theAAYAT are not complete when we
pick the phone and meanings of AAYAT changes when they are not
complete. QURAN is for Hidayat and not forring tones,

Please inform others

KINDLY PASS THIS MESSAGE TO OTHER MUSLIM BROTHERS AND SISTERS AS WELL
BE ADVISED

Don’t say ‘Mosque’
Say always ‘ Masjid’
Because Islam organization has found thats mosque = mosquitoes. During
the times of the Crusaders, when they heard the Athaan being performed
from the Minarets, it used to disturb them, like the buzzing of
mosquito’s, hence the word mosque.

Don’t write ‘ Mecca ‘
Write always correctly ‘ Makkah’
Because Mecca = house of wines

Don’t write ‘ Mohd’
Write always completely as ‘ Muhammad’
Becasue Mohd = the dog with big mouth.

Forward it as many Muslims as you can for Thawaab.

These points are important and it is our duty to educate our brothers
and sisters.

I am not a Muslim but I’ll oblige

Minister’s shock warning on rise of anti-Islamic prejudice

Mr Malik said that many British Muslims now felt like ‘aliens in their own country’

Britain’s first Muslim minister has attacked the growing culture of hostility against Muslims in the United Kingdom, saying that many feel targeted like “the Jews of Europe”.

Shahid Malik, who was appointed as a minister in the Department for International Development (Dfid) by Gordon Brown last summer, said it has become legitimate to target Muslims in the media and society at large in a way that would be unacceptable for any other minority.

Mr Malik made clear that he was not equating the situation with the Holocaust but warned that many British Muslims now felt like “aliens in their own country”.

He said he himself had been the target of a string of racist incidents, including the firebombing of his family car and an attempt to run him down at a petrol station.

I fully agree with the outrage; looks like there is a world wide anti Arab and anti Muslim campaign

Muslim outrage over ‘corporate war game’ where office workers shoot enemies dressed as Arabs

Muslim leaders condemned a new war game where teams of soldiers shoot at enemies – dressed as Arabs.

Men in camouflaged military gear battle opponents wearing shemaghs – the traditional headdress of Arab men – at Zulu 1 Tactical Airsoft Simulations.

Participants use replica machine guns, pistols and sniper rifles which fire 6mm BB rounds at a 20-acre former RAF hospital in Nocton, Lincs.

Images from the company’s website show soldiers pointing rifles at hooded “Arab” men spreadeagled on the floor following “close quarter battles.”

Founders Peter Jenkins, 41, and Darren Howells, 42, denied the use of Arab headdress was racist, claiming it was the “easiest way to tell who the enemy are.”

Over 40 people have signed up for the game’s grand opening on May 25, held at a former RAF hospital in Nocton, Lincs

The creators of the game deny racism, claiming the use of Arab headdress made it easier to tell who the enemy are

But the Muslim Association of Britain slammed the scheme as “short-sighted and foolish.”

Executive member Mokhtar Badri said: “Any sort of game that associates guns and violence with a particular culture is clearly wrong.

“They could use any other type of colour or dress to tell between teams which would not cause offence.

“Using Arab dress, especially in the current climate, is short-sighted and foolish.

“And regardless of the offence causes, young people should not be given the opportunity to play in an environment where guns are being glamourised.”

Launching with a grand opening on May 25, organisers are planning a series of battles between 120 men over woodland, trenches and disused buildings.

They will be split into teams with one half wearing the shemaghs for identification.

Members as young as 16 pay a £30 joining fee and receive an hour of health and safety training before battle.

Over 40 have already signed up for the battle opening.

Jenkins said the use of the shemaghs was to add authenticity to the experience and they were frequently used by British soldiers.

He added that Airsoft is safer than paintballing as pellets only travel 30 to 40 metres.

He said: “We simply use the shemaghs to differentiate between teams. Just because some terrorists decide to wear them doesn’t make it racist.

“You can buy them on any high street and the British army give them to their own troops.

“They are very visible and can be easily spotted in battle. This is a very popular sport and people should remember it is just a game at the end of the day.

“BB guns are essentially toys.”

BB hand grenades, smoke grenades, night-vision scopes and silencers are also used during the battle.

The guns, which can cost up to £1,000, include the ArmaLite M-16 replica which fires 200 rounds a minute at 350ft per second.

One Nocton resident, who asked not to be named, said: “After the 7/7 bombings in London they assessed Lincolnshire as unlikely to be a hard target but useable for storage of terrorists and for training purposes.

“If we start allowing stuff like this we don’t know what type of people it will attract.”
