Rampant Maha Madness
22-01-2009 15:24
I left the religion in the backburner for several years. Not that my views about religion had changed or I didn't consider myself religious any more. I just had so much to do that expending time on religion had become scarce. I simply lived the way I thought I was supposed to live according to my understanding of how a good Muslim should be. Meanwhile I learned more about democracy, human rights and other values like equality of rights between men and women and I liked what I learned.Benefit gig for REEL NEWS, Feb 20th London

Ireland- the rise in antisocial behaviour
14-01-2009 19:41
The Irish community living in the United Kingdom may find it interesting to know that law and order in the Republic of Ireland is rapid decline. It appears our political representatives(all political parties) are either unable or unwilling to address this social problem in a meaningful and constructive way. The recent assault on a bus driver and the theft of a Dublin Bus vehicle has once again shown that political incompetence is alive and kicking within the walls of the Irish parliament. Contact an Irish politician now and make your point.ARTPORT to redefine domestic departures lounge
