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.

Policeman and child shot in Tottenham...100 years on.

22-01-2009 11:35

In 2004 the fear is of Islamic fundamentalism, 100 years ago the Western world was beset by a similar fear - anarchy.
