Vigilance urged to prevent wrongful arrests of Muslims during Olympics

 

5 possible sites for surface-to-air-missiles on roof tops have been earmarked including the Lexington Building in the Tower Hamlets (circled)

 

The Government’s Independent Reviewer of Terrorism Legislation is seeking to ensure that Muslims are not wrongfully arrested during the Olympic Games in London amid fears that the police may abuse their emergency powers. In an exclusive interview with The Muslim News, David Anderson QC also said he wanted an explanation about the controversial citing of anti aircraft missiles in residential areas in East London, where the games are centred.

Connecting to God during Ramadan

 

The blessed month of Ramadan is once again approaching us. Millions of Muslims across the world will be fasting during Ramadan from dawn to sunset each day. This year, the 9th month of the Islamic lunar calendar, will be starting in the third week of July. This implies longer daylight hours and hence longer time without food and water when compared to the last few years.

How will one cope with the long hours of fasting this year?

Olympics 2012 fails Muslims

 

The Muslim News wishes that the London Olympics is a huge success. It should be a welcome boost with Britain back on the world map and more than 10 million people of all backgrounds and countries expecting to attend events. Just as during the Queen’s Jubilee, it is an opportunity for people to forget the economic gloom and have a good time. London won the bid to stage the Olympics on the basis of an extraordinary promise of a lasting legacy but doubts have been raised if many of these aims will be realised.

 There have also been controversies, including the refusal to change the date during Ramadan affecting some 3,000 Muslim athletes and thousands more spectators and volunteers. Muslim spectators and volunteers will not be able to enjoy the festivities like other participants as they will not be able to drink nor eat during the long fast. www.muslimnews.co.uk/paper/index.php?article=5849

COMMENT

 

Breaking my silence on Syria: Who’s telling the truth?

 

Since the uprising in Syria began, my voice has been, perhaps ashamedly, silent. Do not mistake this for a lack of care for the situation but rather out of a lack of veritable information. Yet the time to break my silence has arrived, one month after the massacre that took place in Houla – and it is because of the supposed “facts” being portrayed in the media. Who knows what really happened in Houla? Not very many people, and a huge number of them were murdered.
