Hello everyone at the moment we will be increasing the capacity of the names database with meanings of those names.

Futhermore the forums will be up soon so it you will be able to sign up to them soon. Oh yeah and here’s an intresting snippet:

Tuesday 19 August

Lailat-ul-Bara’h

Lailat-ul-Bara’h (Night of Forgiveness) is the time when Muslims seek forgiveness for their sins. Muslims believe that on this night one’s destiny is fixed for the year ahead.

The actual fact is that it is part of some people’s twisted culture as is represented in this case. A few things to bear in mind is that the marriage to this man is not viable in Islam because since the girl claims she said she doesn’t want to marry the man to the “priest” who “carried on”. In Islam if one party is not happy, then there is not a marriage.

So just a little note about this honour crime article is that not all is what it seems to be. Honour crimes are not a part of Islam, they are the cultural defects in some people.

Islamic terrorism is when people who say they are Muslims commit acts of terror. But is this Islamic terrorism, or is Islam the veil behind which these people are hiding and shooting out deadly and violent attacks. Just something to think about, is it really Islam or as I see it people using Islam as an excuse?

Inshallah we will continue to prosper and grow in the coming months. Forums are also being sorted out at the moment and will hopefully be up and running soon.

Britz is a two part drama written by Peter Kosminsk. The drama revolves around brother and sister Sohail and Nasima. The first part focuses in on Sohail’s side of the story while the second installment focuses on sister Nasima.

Sohail is a British Muslim who has turned his back on “radicalism” and has joined MI5. Nasima is a medical student who, as it is portrayed, turns to terror as a means to protest against the killing of Muslims in Iraq.

Plot Analysis

There are some perks in the plot which I think are quite a major flaw with the drama. We have to think if this girl, Nasima, is going to turn to a radical form of expressing her self from doing activities such as sleeping with her boyfriend with whom she in not married. This is going from one extreme to another, because in Islam it is forbidden to commit such acts with a person who you are not married with.

There is little fluidity in this part of the plot, in real life I think it highly unlikely for a person to go from a couldn’t-care-less attitude about a religion and then transition to an extreme and distorted form of that religion which includes killing yourself.

Final Comments

From what I have heard from others the acting has been intensely good and thee plot is gripping ; it is a very good drama but with reference to the title “Fact or Fiction” I think that it is much more fiction than anywhere near fact.

That’s my opinion of it but I did only see a part of the drama so my view may be yet incomplete.

More information will come as it is available. Tickets can be bought here.
